lol, that's awesome

@ OP )

actually I think it's more likely that it was real, because it responds to the smartphone inputs and the grabbing gesture (with both hands - no pocket-clicker)

if that part was a movie he activated before he must have pretty good timing, which you usually don't when you are on stage (from my own experience time seems to move much faster when presenting something)

edit: i made a mistake

CSI:VGCHARTZ on a mission ;) Why should it do so?

yeah failure about the Xbone top feature would have been more embarrassing or disastrous. Agreed clicker should have been with someone else.. but the risk was of timing!

Why would someone on stage need to trigger the next "slide" it would make far more sense to have someone off stage do this who was watching, it would also likely be "safer" if they didn't rely on a wireless clicker device.

made a mistake, already edit my comment... i am in no mission... don't make assumptions...

No problem, I used the smily in my post intentionally.

It was obvious that the show wasn't real time when channels were changing so fast. Just because you connect a cable box to a XBox One doesn't magically make the hardware in the cable box better. Anyone who uses a cable box knows full well that it cannot change channels that quickly.

Also if you watchted the event you can see a segment where the presenter uses hand gestures to stretch to full screen and the screen shrinks again without him doing anything, causing him to attempt to play catchup to cover up his error.


History tells us that MS conferences are all staged and you cannot really take anything at face value.

fake live-demos, fake crowd, what else?

May I remember render-targets? :) No, really, it is way more safe to show what it can do but given the big audience and the possibility of many sounds disturbing the voice-recognition I'd do the same. You *never* know what's real on presentations of tech until you can try it yourself so both console-reveals can be fake or not.
