Name: Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect Natal Prototype
Brand: Microsoft

Named Project Natal at the time, until launch, these specific units were made around summer 2009.
Later designs around 2010 looked way closer to the final product.
First revealed at E3 2009 along with some demonstrations of the products. This prototype is mainly shown paired with regular Xbox 360 models as the S was still in development at the time.
The Xbox 360 text lies at the bottom right corner rather than the right center, and there is no Kinect text on the stand of the prototype.
There is no LED between the sensors.
The color of the Kinect appears less glossy.
The eastern-most sensor is colored green when turned on, which is not present in the final Kinect.
The sensors are larger than typical, and the other 2 are colored purple in some images of the prototype.
The side ends of the Kinect are not cut off into a triangular look, instead being in a perfect rectangle shape. The side bumps also differ.
