Video of Jimmy Fallon’s Project Natal Demo

We really geeked out at the Microsoft E3 press conference when they unveiled Project Natal. Wish you coulda been there. But don't worry, if you missed all our coverage of it from E3, you can still see Jimmy Fallon flail about as he tries to use it on his show. Check it out below.





This video does quite a bit to show just how versatile Natal is. You've got 4 different guys (in height and girth) jumping in and out of games and Natal only takes a second or two to recognize each. Pretty impressive. Less impressive is Fallon's ability to hit a ball, virtual or not.

This video worries me ever so slightly because I thought I detected a little lag time in the system that I didn't see during the E3 demo. I'm really hoping it just had to do with the studio lighting or some other problem (possibly why these guys are all wearing jumpsuits?) because lag time in the final product will be a deal breaker.
