Giving You the Most Immersive Experience Using XBox 360

By Aron Fasching


XBox 360 Games offer a few of the most extremely immersive experiences everywhere, on-line or off-line. With smash hit titles like Halo, Fallout, Call of Duty, and Panzer General: Allied Assault, it's tough to see what else might possibly increase game play any more than the long way it's already come. After all, it wasn't but a few years ago that clunky old-school remote controls were still being used. Nowadays the user interface has improved significantly, with on-board accelerometers to process spatial data for human kinetics in gaming. But something on the horizon may be the most impressive factor to hit video gaming at home in our time.

XBox 360 games can be carefully matched to XBox 360 Accessories for the smoothest expertise of truly immersive game play. But what if there were no need for any XBox 360 accessories except one? One uber-accessory to interchange them all? Long the stuff of science fiction and comic books, this latest of XBox 360 accessories might also be the last. It would be the only real thing needed to play all the XBox 360 games made from then on.

Never heard of it? That's simply because it was not too long ago announced by Microsoft. It's an electronic eye of sorts that will destroy the need for physical controllers, hardware which is held in one's hand. This new soon-to-come electronic eye will sense player movements in space, so hand-held controllers with built-in accelerometers will no longer be required. This latest advance in gaming technology is due out within the next year or two, and will likely be attached separately from the gaming system. But all user movement data will be supplied to the console just the same. Attempt to imagine playing video games with nothing more than your own body and the entire body movements!

This specific veritable magic eye that Microsoft was developing will even track eye movements to alter point-of-view in a first-person shooter. Think about Halo or Call of Duty or Medal of Honor without a nuisance controller but with instead a light gun and your own body and your own eyes! As you turn right the screen-shot shows panoramas to your right side, and as you turn left the panorama adjusts with you!

So while today's XBox 360 Console games are fairly progressed, the XBox accessories to come will require software program that rethinks the full thought of onscreen and off. Hardware and software happens to a symbiotic connection, and it'll be exciting to see what occurs next now that the hardware has had a massive revolution!
