Microsoft’s motion-sensing peripheral currently known as Project Natal is in the prototype phase, and The Seattle Times snagged this shot of the device, a secret agent sent by Skynet to kill John Connor and ensure the robotic enslavement of the human race.

In fairness, the Natal doesn’t have its own legs. It’s mounted on a freaky camera tripod on this shot. Should you get the Natal when it’s released later this year, I don’t recommend granting it mobility or firearms.
