Xbox 360 motion detection and 3D

I'm trying to put two and two together on this one:

Xbox 360 motion-sending Add-On

+

Stereoscopic 3D games

Rather than go the Nintendo route, this would be a game-changing (literally) effort from the company. As close to full immesion as you can get, without the use of holograms. Imagine a boxing game where the fighter not only appears to come out-of-the-screen but where you can interact with him by punching his face and see real-time effects. Why not?

I just saw my first 3D movie (My Bloody Valentine) and when the movie started, one of the first things I instinctively did was to try and touch the characters popping off the screen. If this could be translated to a game setting, we could have some serious fun on our hands. Ofcourse, this does not diminish the utility of the normal control schemes. I don't see this being THE way games will be controlled once introduced.

I have a good feeling this might be what we're in for at Microsoft's "blockbuster" keynote at this year's E3.
