Microsoft Already Working on Natal Follow-up

Posted by admin On March - 23 - 2010

Xbox Project Natal

Xbox Project Natal hasn’t yet made its way to stores — heck, Natal might not even be its final name — but that’s not stopping Microsoft from researching the next iteration of their motion sensing technology. The Sydney Morning Herald recently chatted it up with several Microsoft insiders, and one in particular suggested that the development of Natal 2 is already underway.

“We are aware that we are not necessarily a media darling,” divulged Microsoft Research Asia managing director Hsiao-Wuen Hon. “People don’t perceive us as innovative as we actually are. Many of them use our products but don’t know it.”

Hon continued, “And when we do invent something first like the Natal kind of scenario, while we have a researcher working with the product group for the first version, we already have a researcher thinking about the second version down the road so we certainly hope we will continue to be holding that technology. I really love what Microsoft is doing.”
