| pbroy said: I suffer from Kinect withdrawal. When I'm on my Pc and am watching Netflix, I say 'Xbox, pause." Then it doesn't listen. I get mad that I have to grab the mouse to pause the show. When I'm watching TV and watching something in the bedroom, I find myself saying "Xbox volume up" or "Xbox rewind." Then I realize I don't have an Xbone in the bedroom. I then have to fumble through blankets and pillows to find the remote. I want to tell everything what to do now without using my hands. I don't really care for Kinect and games. I just like it for the UI |
LOL if it was only on my PC.... it's everywhere in my house for me lol
I live in an appartment right now and I smoke at the window with a fan on and turn it off when I'm done.... I did try to say "XBox turn off" or something like that several times to the fan lol.... or when I'm at my parents house when they are away to watch the pets I always take a couple days to not use voice command on the TV....
I feel exactly like you for the rest... UI alone is why I love kinect... even when I'm on the 360, it's a pain in the ass to switch from a game to another or to an app like netflix or hulu and same for volume up or down... I hope we will see more and more voice controlled device in houses in the future... man if I could order my coffe machine from the bedroom or the bathroom in the morning.... well pretty much like in sci fi movies or tech demo like Microsoft future home... ask your smart house to tell you your daily schedule... read your e-mails while you brush your teeth.... etc etc
