Forums - Microsoft - Samsung TV with Voice and Gesture Control Rivals Xbox One's Kinect

Zappykins on 29 May 2013

The early movement type stuff Samsung have out now has received terrible reviews. I think Samsung makes very good TV, but they haven't seem to make them user friendly.

Personally, I rather just have a nice low cost TV and leave the rest of that stuff to my Xbox One and Harmony Remote.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

400-500 Xbox that has multiple uses or 1500 to 2000 TV with limited function? I'll take the Xbox.

Yeah but to use the Xbone to its full potential, you already need a HDTV that costs around $1000 anyway. In a few years time these features will get incorporated into pretty much every smart tv and smart tvs are becoming more and more common.  They'll just replace normal TVs soon. Then if you are only in for voice and gesture controls, the Xbone won't be necessary for such features. It'll only be the games and exclusive services the Xbone offers that may entice people, if there are any that are worthwhile.

"But does Samsung TV play game" - asked by the gamer. The answer is NO, you still need a console

"But can I watch TV with the Xbox One" - asked by the casual non-gamer. The answer is NO, you still need a TV.

Xbox One does need a TV. Plus no AV out

Actually sort of.

This TV ( Which Ive demoed ) Has basic gestures. Freezes quite alot and has limited voice rec.

It is only passibly similar to Kinect 1.

Kinect 2.0 and the software driving the multitasking stuff on The One is looking far more impressive than what I tried.

You can get a very good specced good reviewed FullHD 1080p TV in the UK 42" for £350.You can add 3d to that with 4 free glasses for £450. 

 

You US guys get ripped off.

All this shows me is that Samsung like the way MS is heading with Kinect and are implementing it into their own products also.... You could also say, MS got it right, technology is heading this way.... Of course, such things on this site would be quoted to death and bashed by waves after waves of Sony fans. It's happened to just about every pro MS thread lately. Think I'm kidding, go look for yourselves...

Samsung just rendered Microsofts endeavors pointless with the snap of their fingers.

Unless the tv is 4k...I don't think they'll be having a problem.

Ok so for everyone out there who does not have this Samsung TV; they need to buy it and do what? plug-it to their existing TV?

I do not know why people did not think about that before... All they will need to do is to buy an expensive Samsung TV in addition to their own TV...

Yep, way better than buying an Xbox One.


This would make sense, if we were talking about Sony or Sharp....but Samsung in this day and age is a market leader. Besides, people are always upgrading. Doesn't need to be in unison.
