According to a new Digitimes report, Aptina Imaging has been selected as the exclusive supplier for CMOS sensors to be used in Microsoft's Project Natal motion sensor system that will be bundled with Xbox 360 consoles.
The report also adds that a new Xbox 360 that will include Natal will be ready to ship by the Q3 2010.
Electronista adds that "to meet demand for the Xbox 360 game controller, Aptina plans on upping capacity at its fabrication facility in Italy that makes 8-inch wafers and look for a partner in another foundry."
Natal is a technology that uses camera sensors to track movements made by users which is then translated to the video game playback. No controller needed.
