GestureTek announced that Microsoft has licensed GestureTek’s video gesture control technology for use with the Xbox Live Vision camera for the Xbox 360. A library of GestureTek’s basic Video Gesture Control tools will be made available to all Xbox 360 developers who are part of the XDK program.

The gesture control will add a dimension to gaming never before experienced. Imagine logging into Xbox Live and sitting down at a virtual table to play poker with immersed players from all corners of the world. How about standing in your living room as you snowboard down a mountain, where leaning left and right lets you cut across the slopes, and springing up guides you over jumps. Camera enabled gaming combined with motion control technology is endless in application, whether it is a game of baseball, volleyball, playing along with the music on virtual instruments, fly fishing, shooting backetball hoops, dodging bullets, or even fighting; the game controller is the gamers own body.
