April 20, 2010 - An Italian gaming site, Multiplayer.It, posted pictures of what they claim is a demo unit of Project Natal being tested for speech recognition.

The pictures detail a quick start guide, instruction manual, and the demo unit itself. The report also claims that Project Natal requires an independent power source to power a motorized tilt mechanism, which IGN has also confirmed with sources with firsthand knowledge of the device.

As for the speech testing being performed by their source, Multiplayer.It says that users will be able to power on the Xbox 360 and navigating programs like Facebook using voice commands.

The potential is there, but I fear it will quickly spiral into bad-Wii-game gimmic shovelware territory.

Here's to hoping, though!

I am kind of excited for the gesture control of the dashboard though. Scrolling through my netflix queue, and music library will be kinda cool.

It will be just like minority report, that would be kinda cool.

I don't know how well the VR (Voice Recognition) will work on it, but lets put that aside for now, in order for Natal to be successful it will need some good titles behind it.
