Project Natal: Made In Taiwan

According to this report in Taipei’s DigiTimes online newspaper, and passed on via this Seattle Times blog post, Project Natal will be manufactured by a company called Pegatron in Taipei, Taiwan.

You can view the manufacturer Pegatron’s website here: http://www.pegatroncorp.com/, although they don’t say much and don’t mention Project Natal.

Of course the real magic is in the software, which is manufactured in Redmond, Washington, USA (and also around the world) by Microsoft. There is a huge amount of software required to turn the raw inputs into usable information such as where each of your joints are, who you are, what you are saying, and how you are saying it.
