Lionhead Milo Project - Project Natal - Xbox 360 (E3 2009)
Film director Steven Spielberg, attending the launch, said it was "a window into what the future holds".
Although still in the early stages, Microsoft has sent prototypes to all the main game developers.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Spielberg said he had always stated that "the main barrier stopping people getting into video games was the complexity of a games controller," and that Natal was "a whole new world".
"There is technology now that recognises not just your thumb, it recognises your entire person. The technology knows who you are," he said.
Mr Spielberg drew an analogy with the film industry, saying it was evolutionary step for games.
"It's like the square screen we saw all of our movies on in the early 1950s. Then The Robe came out in Cinemascope. And then came CinRam and Imax followed. That's what [Natal] is.
