Project Natal Project Natal is the codename for Microsoft’s new motion controller that is set to be paired with the Xbox 360. It is in response to the overwhelming popularity of the Nintendo Wii and it’s motion controls. It is planned to be paired with the normal controller of the Xbox 360 in order to enhance the game and to keep up with the trend of better and more realistic controls.

Project Natal What sets this apart from other motion controls is that instead of using a controller Project Natal uses a camera in order to capture body movements. This is similar to the “Playstation 2 EyeToy”. This peripheral gives gamers a whole new kind of freedom in the sense that they are not bound by a controller but instead by their body.

PlayStation 3 “Arc” Arc is the unofficial name for Sony’s motion control for the Playstation 3. Similar to the Nintendo Wii this motion control employs the use of a wand like controller. This controller is set to be integrated with existing Sony peripherals such as the EyeToy and the Playstation Eye (another camera peripheral). Not much is known yet about their plans and the direction they intend to take these controls to.

PlayStation 3 “Arc” Aside from the “Arc” the Playstation 3 already uses motion control through their “six axis” controller. It has the ability to sense both rotational orientation and translational acceleration along all three dimensional axes, providing six degrees of freedom, hence the name. An example of this would be shooting a freethrow by tilting the controller back and making the motions of actually shooting ball.

Myth 2. The studies that find significant effects are the weakest methodologically. Myth 2. The studies that find significant effects are the weakest methodologically. Facts: Methodologically stronger studies have yielded the largest effects (Anderson, in press).

Myth 3. Laboratory experiments are irrelevant (trivial measures, demand characteristics…) Facts: … Variables known to influence real world aggression and violence have the same effects on laboratory measures of aggression (Anderson & Bushman, 1997).

Myth 4. Field experiments are irrelevant Facts: Field experiments have used behaviors like biting, pinching, etc. The fact that these aggressive behaviors occur in natural environments does not make them "normal" play behavior; it increases the face validity of the measures.

Myth 5. Correlational studies are irrelevant. Myth 5. Correlational studies are irrelevant. Facts: Correlational studies are used to test theories that are inherently causal.
