Talking Project Natal on WP7 XboxHUB?

It would be fantastic to have Natal on the WP7. Just Imagen interfacing with it with no touch, just voice and gestures.
Examples just for fun:
"minority report" type game controlling, so you don't have your hand smudging the screen.
Using the mini-HDMI output connected to a large screen and using the camera and mic on the phone to control the game, browsing, messages, e-mail.
Voice commands that really work...

Any futuristic ideas?

Very reasonable thinking. But bro, you forgot one thing: Project Natal itself seems to be at least thrice bigger than any phone currently available... You sure carring it around, along with a phone, is a good idea...?

I'm thinking about maybe integrating Microsoft Surface into phones is a better path? Yesterday I saw the video Microsoft Research showing off the prototype of portable Surface (1 camera + 1 projector). LG Panther, which should hit the market this September, seems to have quite an ugly and large hunchback. Building the lame back-mounted projector into a portable Surface will bring tons of joy.

I heard that natal is using Xbox processor for its functions. So if natal would use phone processor for processing image, what is left for games processing?
