Full D8 Demo: Microsoft's Project Natal (Now Called Kinect)

As promised, All Things Digital is posting the full videos from our eighth D: All Things Digital conference, held in early June.

Here’s the video of the Project Natal/Kinect demo at D8:

This is, hands down, the most annoying congregation of comments any thread has ever seen. They’re phones. Go outside and spend some time in the sun for crying out loud.
