Forums - Movies & TV - Black Mirror - TV show predicts Xbox One?

It looks like the UK TV series Black Mirror had it pretty spot on when it comes to the future of consoles.

Here is facial recognition and Kinect, for both games and TV shows.

Hopefully Microsoft don't add the other parts, like eye tracking to force you to watch adverts. The exercise bike addon would be interesting though.

 

It's a great series, if you have the time I recommend it.

Probably the best episode of the series. It'd be somewhat freaky if that does happen.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I would not mind eye tracking. As long as I can still get up to make a sandwich during the advertisement, I do not care if it follows me around the house.


Have you seen the episode? It is very good. But sadly, you are forced to watch the advert with the eye tracking or pay to skip.

I have never heard of the show. That would suck to have to pay to get out of viewing advertisements.


It is a UK series, the link might not work in the US. The advert thing is pretty interesting. They are personalised, and at one point in the show it comes up with a porn ad the guy has to pay to skip pretty quickly. Doesn't look fun.

It seems they got that right too.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Damn. Could you check Youtube for Black Mirror - 15 Million Merits? I'm not sure what you can find on non-UK Youtube.

It's good isn't it? Shame no one outside the UK can see it.
