Title: How we Invented a new human computer interface using a revolutionary new input system - the Natal Depth Camera
Abstract:

For success, computer games need to be natural, intuitive and entertaining. Microsoft has recently become interested in a brand new depth based technology called Natal which will provide a sole means of input. This talk will look at how the problem of controlling a user interface can be achieved using this technology by attempting to map all the classical GUI interactions to a more natural depth based paradigm.
