Microsoft has confirmed that it is set to launch Project Natal this coming October in time for the busy holiday season.

Project Natal is the code name for a controller-free gaming and entertainment experience by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based on an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360’s audience beyond its typical gamer base.
Microsoft Saudi marketing manager Syed Bilal Tariq confirmed Microsoft’s Project Natal motion-sensing camera for the Xbox 360 will launch worldwide somewhere in October in an interview GamertagRadio. He further told  “We will be in a position to confirm the date at E3, which is in June, but definitely it is going to be October 2010″.
