XBox 360 Games offer a few of the most extremely immersive experiences everywhere, on-line or off-line. With smash hit titles like Halo, Fallout, Call of Duty, and Panzer General: Allied Assault, it's tough to see what else might possibly increase game play any more than the long way it's already come. After all, it wasn't but a few years ago that clunky old-school remote controls were still being used. Nowadays the user interface has improved significantly, with on-board accelerometers to process spatial data for human kinetics in gaming. But something on the horizon may be the most impressive factor to hit video gaming at home in our time.
XBox 360 games can be carefully matched up to XBox 360 Accessories for the smoothest experience of truly immersive game play. But what if there were no need for any XBox 360 accessories except one? One uber-accessory to replace all of them? Long the stuff of sci-fi and comic books, this latest of XBox 360 accessories would also be the last. It could be the only factor required to play all the XBox 360 games made from then on.
Never heard of it? That's simply because it was not too long ago announced by Microsoft. It's an electronic eye of sorts that will destroy the need for physical controllers, hardware which is held in one's hand. This new soon-to-come electronic eye will sense player movements in space, so hand-held controllers with built-in accelerometers will no longer be required. This latest advance in gaming technology is due out within the next year or two, and will likely be attached separately from the gaming system. But all user movement data will be supplied to the console just the same. Attempt to imagine playing video games with nothing more than your own body and the entire body movements!
This specific veritable magic eye that Microsoft has been developing will even track eye movements to change point-of-view in a first-person shooter. Think about Halo or Call of Duty or Medal of Honor with out a annoying controllers but with instead a light gun and your own body and your own eyes! As you turn right the screen shot reveals panoramas to your right side, and as you turn left the panorama adjusts with you!
So while today's XBox 360 Console games are quite advanced, the XBox accessories in the future will need software that rethinks the complete idea of onscreen and off. Hardware and software happens to a union partnership, and it will be interesting to see what transpires next now that the hardware has had a huge leap forward!
