One of Microsoft's big Xbox 360 announcements at their E3 2009 press conference was the reveal of "Project Natal", the code name for a new motion sensor based camera technology that Microsoft claims will turn the human body into a controller. Live demos of the early version of the tech showed people using the camera to play games that, for example, let humans simply mime the action of driving to control a racing game rather than using even a wireless controller.

Microsoft stated that when the technology is released the camera will work with all of the Xbox 360 consoles currently out there as well as all future Xbox 360 consoles. But since the camera is USB-based we at Big Download wondered if Microsoft had plans to bring "Project Natal" to the PC as well.

We got our sister site Joystiq to pose this question to Kudo Tsunoda, the leader of "Project Natal", during a press lunch following the press conference. Tsunoda told Joystiq's editor-in-chief Chris Grant, "Of course, this has many applications" but stopped short of confirming that the technology would be ported to the PC. It wasn't a flat denial, however, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear announcements in the future about a PC version of the technology.
