A new video game has been unveiled which allows users to recreate Lady Gaga's dance routines.

Dance Central uses Microsoft's new motion-sensing camera, Kinect, to track body movements without the need for a controller.

Developed by Harmonix – the company behind Rock Band, the game is expected to feature music by a host of artists, including 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga

Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos said he hoped Dance Central would help introduce a new audience to gaming and dance.

"Dancing can be intimidating for some people, but Dance Central was developed so that everyone can play,” he said.

The game was unveiled at E3 2010, which also saw the launch of a new Michael Jackson dance game that utilises the same technology.

Both games are expected to arrive in the autumn.
