Project Natal is now Kinect

The new and official name for the Xbox 360 Project Natal was unveiled last night at the Cirque du Soleil Experience which Microsoft put on.[nggtags gallery=KinectWorldPremiere]

Thousands of Hollywood stars, VIPs, and media from around the world gathered at LA’s Galen Center to witness the future of entertainment on Sunday, June 13, 2010. This exclusive 45-minute experience, which Cirque du Soleil spent four months developing and producing, was presented Sunday night, with an encore performance set for Monday. Along with a 76-person strong cast of dancers, musicians, acrobats, and clowns, show goers were treated to a dazzling setup featuring 25-foot-high projection screens totaling more than a football field in length, a gigantic 9-foot-tall elephant puppet housing projection screens and two artists, and a 40-foot-diameter steel structure that rotates on its axis and weighs as much as 25 VW Beetles.

According to MrPointyHead, highlights from last nights events will be available to watch on Inside Xbox shortly and the full show will be online in a couple of days.
