You probably already know it, Xbox 360 Games offer some of the most incredibly immersive experiences anywhere, online or off.  With blockbuster titles like Halo, Fallout, Call of Duty, and Panzer General : Allied Assault, it’s hard to see what else could probably improve gameplay any more than the long way it is come.  After all , it was not but 1 or 2 years gone that clunky outdated controllers were still being used.  Nowadays the user interface has improved noticeably, with on-board accelerometers to process spatial info for human kinetics in gaming.  But something on the horizon may be the most revolutionary thing to hit videogaming at home in our time. 

Xbox 360 games can be closely matched to Xbox 360 Accessories for the most continued experience of truly immersive gameplay.  But what if there were no need for any Xbox 360 accessories save one?One uber accessory to replace them all?  Long the raw material of science fiction and comic books, this latest of Xbox 360 Accessories would also be the last.  It’d be the one thing needed to play all the Xbox 360 games made of then on. 

Not heard of it?  That’s because it was only in the near past announced by Microsoft.  It’s a electronic eye of sorts that will obliterate the necessity for physical controllers, hardware that’s 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 mandatory.  This latest advance in gaming technology is scheduled to be released within the following year or 2, and may be mounted separately from the console.  But all user movement information will be provided to the console just the same.  Attempt to imagine playing videogames with nothing more than your own body and body movements! 

This veritable wizardry eye that Microsoft has been developing will even track eye movements to switch point-of-view in a first-person shooter.  Imagine Halo or Call of Duty or medal of honour without annoying controllers but with instead a light gun and your own body and your own eyes!  As you turn right the screen-capture reveals views to your right side, and as you turn left the panorama shifts with you! 
So while today’s Xbox 360 games are quite complicated, the Xbox accessories to come will require software that rethinks the whole notion of onscreen and off.  Hardware and software exist in a symbiotic relationship, and it is going to be engaging to see what transpires next now that the hardware has taken a quantum jump forward!
