| smroadkill15 said: The problem with the first Kinect was that you had to be able to see the words before you could say it (except with the Bing Search engine). On the X1 for example, you can say, "game demos" and it will bring you right to it. That is much faster than having to scroll over toward games, select game marketplace, and then scroll to game demos. Being able to say say a word without it actually being on screen is very convenient, and faster than button presses. |
I believe this is where MS is trying to get to. When people think about hitting a button to do something it depends on the action. If I can say. Xbox Doctor Who episode 3 season 7. That would be way faster than me going to Amazon, finding Doctor Who, chosing the season, then selecting the episode.
Even something as simple as saying Xbox Play Halo 4 and if you had the game in the drive or downloaded to your console, it just plays. If the system is sleeping then its even faster.
For me, people are looking at this a little to simplistic. If voice can make a bunch of button press and menu navigation turn into a few words, then I am all for voice. If Voice advance like everthing else then actually giving squad mates in games like Mass Effect will be so much better than pausing, selecting ability, Aim at target, press button to have squal mate use ability on target.
