Is there something big brewing for the Xbox 360? The folks at Kotaku are reporting that the next Xbox 360 Update could feature a radically new Dashboard user interface - replacing the Blade interface with a motion controlled interface that would be similar in operation to the interface seen in the movie Minority Report. Lending some credence to this rumor is the fact that design agency Schematic is supposedly working on the project. Why is this important? One, Schematic has worked on game interfaces before and two, the Chief Creative Officer, Dale Herigstad, previously helped design the interfaces seen within Minority Report. NICE..  Oh yeah - if this is indeed true, you’ll probably see a new motion controller be released by Microsoft to utilize this UI.

What else could be in this next update? Kotaku has a huge list of possible new features here. Make sure to check it out if you’re interested in what might be in store for the 360 down the road this year. NOTE: Picture above is from Kotaku.
