Microsoft hosted a Cirque du Soleil show for E3 attendees last night, and the big reveal of the event was the official unveiling of Microsoft’s new controller-less control system for the Xbox 360, Kinect.

Known as Project Natal while under development, Kinect uses two cameras to sense exactly what you are doing, so that you don’t even need a controller to play games. The hardware is a small, sleek black bar that sits under or over your TV (much like the Wii sensor bar). A few games have been announced, including a Star Wars game that would have you dueling with Lightsabers.

Kinect’s price has not been announced (it is rumored to be as much as $150), nor has a release date. We will keep you updated as Microsoft reveals more about this interesting new product throughout this week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
