12:34 Uhr - OmniMotion mögen mit ihrem Angebot, Browserspiele per Webcam steuern zu lassen, gewiss ein nettes Gimmick zu bieten haben... dieses kostenlos nutzbare Angebot jedoch mit Project Natal auf eine Stufe zu stellen ist... gewagt. Auch wenn Microsofts Bewegungssystem noch nicht auf dem Markt ist, so erinnert OmniMotions Casual-Version derselben Grund-Idee doch eher an das frühe EyeToy oder das im Stillen gescheiterte Xbox LIVE Vision. Einen Blick ist es jedoch trotzdem mal wert, alleine schon der vollmundig formulierten Pressemeldung wegen.

Die offizielle Pressemeldung:

"OmniMotion Technology Ltd., an independent Irish Casual and Social Games company, have unveiled a revolutionary new Motion Control interface that allows for accurate, 3D, browser-based gaming on almost any PC or MAC - and all you need to play is a standard Webcam!

At a time when so many eagerly await the much publicized, end-of-year arrival of Microsoft's 'Project Natal' for the X-Box console, OmniMotion invites everybody to experience next-generation, controller-free gaming today, with the launch of their beta 'ThisIsMotionControl.com' website. The featured free games allow for accurate, 3D, controller-free play, with the on-screen action dictated entirely by the movement of a player's head, hands or body... and it's online!

The primary game, ZenBall, is a multi-level 'physical puzzle' developed with Dr. Edward De Bono, father of lateral thinking and creator of the 'Six Hats' system. Take 3 steps back from your screen and control the action using simple, measured, Tai-Chi-type movements. It's great fun, addictive and competitive, and might even help people to get in shape!"
