Microsoft is developing a new videocamera for the Xbox 360 that will allow players to control games with the movement of their bodies.

Unlike the Wii, the Microsoft camera won't require users to hold any hardware in their hands to control in-game action. The device could be shown as early as the E3 game industry conference in Los Angeles in early June, though it likely will not be released until next year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

It's likely that this is the same technology that Microsoft aquired since they bought 3DV systems in February this year.
