Microsoft Works on 3D Camera for Gaming

The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft is developing a new videocamera for the Xbox 360 console that will allow players to control games with the movement of their bodies in effort to attract the casual players who have fueled Nintendo's success. The camera is based on technology that Microsoft developed. Microsoft also recently acquired an Israeli start-up called 3DV Systems, which has developed a 3-D camera and holds related patents, according to a person familiar with the matter.
