They weren't expecting it, but they entered an Avatar-esque jungle otherworld brought to life by performers from Cirque du Soleil and elaborate technological set pieces. Microsoft unveiled the Kinect to non-press attendees with songs, dances and performances that evoked the discovery of the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kinect was portrayed as the next step in human evolution.
Yes, it was hyperbolic, but the spectacle was impressive. We were there, and while nothing about the Xbox 360 was revealed there that we haven't previously described, we did take several pictures of the elaborate performance. Have a look in the gallery below.
