NewsBrief: Organic Motion Heads South

Organic Motion, Inc., a New York City-based company with a Project Natal-like motion-capture technology that doesn't require a bulky bodysuit or system of sensors, says it will open a business development and sales office in Central Florida this summer. The goal is to tap the area's defense-training, entertainment and medical simulation industries -- relatively strong sectors in a geographic region less affected by the slumping economy. While the company's technology seems suited for use in virtual worlds, Organic Motion has yet to find a breakthrough partner. An Orlando TV station today posted a video report on Organic Motion.
