Xbox 360 Camera Debut In September
Major Nelson’s podcast reveals the Xbox 360 Vision debuts in US and UK this year The Xbox 360 vision camera could be debuting as early as this September apparently, according to the latest podcast from Xbox evangelist and Live guru Major Nelson. We say apparently, because the info was revealed by a Microsoft staff member in Nelson’s latest podcast. However, when we tried to give it a listen, it simply wouldn’t work, just repeating the first 15 seconds of the show. Still, the word is the Vision camera will debut in both US and European markets on September 19, opening up all sorts of facial mapping shenanagins, gesture recognition and EyeToy-style malarkey for the Live platform. Imagine seeing those shouty, spotty herberts you’re playing in Halo 2 in person?
