Just so everyone knows:

Class I lasers are low powered devices that are considered safe from all potential hazards. Some examples of Class I laser use are: laser printers, CD players, CD ROM devices, geological survey equipment and laboratory analytical equipment. No individual, regardless of exposure conditions to the eyes or skin, would be expected to be injured by a Class I laser. No safety requirements are needed to use Class I laser devices. ]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/I'm not worried about the laser, i'm worried that it might attack me....]]>Feb 4th 2010 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/

It's quite possibly invisible to the human eye - but digital cameras tend to show IR quite clearly (try pointing a digicam at the business end of a TV remote and press the buttons).

The HAL style red eye of death is a touch disconcerting :)]]>Feb 4th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/here's my theory..Natal isnt just a new controller, it erases your memory of all things red ring, so you can either thank microsoft for getting rid of your nightmeres, or curse them for trying to control us with their freaky little War of the Worlds robot]]>Feb 4th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/project-natal-prototype-spotted-on-a-makeshift-gorillapod-stand/
Yep, that's an IR LED for the time-of-flight IR camera, which is one of the two lenses on the right.

Yes, they have announced that they are testing in on PC interfaces as well. If it is feasable we will likely see it.

But it's the coolest Camera I've ever seen. Not becuase of the capabilities (which will be awesome and hopefully introduce some fun, innovative experiences). But because of it's striking resemblance to Wall-E.
