ARhrrrr is an augmented reality shooter for mobile camera-phones, created at Georgia Tech Augmented Environments Lab and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD-Atlanta). The phone provides a window into a 3d town overrun with zombies. Point the camera at our special game map to mix virtual and real world content. Civilians are trapped in the town, and must escape before the zombies eat them! From your vantage point in a helicopter overhead, you must shoot the zombies to clear the path for the civilians to get out. Watch out though as the zombies will fight back, throwing bloody organs to bring down your copter. Move the phone quickly to dodge them. You can also use Skittles as tangible inputs to the game, placing one on the board and shooting it to trigger an explosion.

Microsoft Project Natal.
When I thought it was only a concept video, I found this video of the actual product demo at E3:
Very cool.
By requiring you to move your whole body just to switch channels, I guess the mankind of the future won’t really be fat and almost limb-less humanoid as seen in Wall-E.

Nintendo is quick to add that they experimented on this idea and abandoned it. It would be cool if Microsoft succeeds here, I mean it for the sake of humanity.
