Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One Dashboard Created “With Advertising In Mind”

So with M$ supposedly amazing 3 oses on xbox comes another great feature... Advertisements. Facial and voice recognition for "Persionalized and future interactive ads" are included too. So much value for your $60 per year gold :D

"An Xbox employee has commented as to how the architecture of the Xbox One dashboard has been created “with advertising in mind”. The team also gave us an exclusive insight into what the future of advertising on the Xbox One will and could look like using Kinect, Smartglass and personalised information."

"What could transpire in the future though is something that we’re already seeing with a lot of facial recognition technology and personalised information being used to target advertisements. For example, Kinect could detect how many users are in the room and could serve advertisements aimed at families, groups, or individuals. Additional information from your Xbox LIVE account could also influence these by using metrics such as your gender, age, location, media habits and more, and Microsoft are very aware of the potential around this."

True dat.



Personally I love the advertising on X360 dashboard for two reason. One they fit with the design and they dont fill forced like youtube advertisements. 2. They have introduced me to a lot of awesome stuff including Game of Thrones, BattleBlock Theater, State of Decay, and Trials Evolution. As long as the advertisements arent forced then I like it. So personally i am happy about it.




       

Can't wait for the dorito ads.

lol they dont have those haha Most adds are either games or movies.  I know you are probably joking but the people who usually say these things havent even really been on the X360 dashboard.

At this moment advertisements on XBL Dashboard .  And everything is very organized.

So thats why kinect is mandatory...



It should be either free with ads or with a cost without ads. Combining a fee and ads is shitty in my opinion.

Actually I agree with you. MS has been good about advertising about what I'm interested in. They also have been great about putting diverse advertising based on my interest. Google has failed at that. Google assumes that I want something but repeats it way too much based on my search. Most of the time, I'm looking for an item I already have but need more info on how to work with it better.



Ads on xbox 360 dont bother me cuz they dont interrupt me. They are just designed in a way i can look at them but not be interrupted like youtube does.



So basically they are spying on you and then giving your information to advertisers? Isn't that illegal? :O
