DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 23, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2010 Quote June 23rd, 2010 @ 12:44By Joe Anderson A new video of the Kinect-controlled 360 dashboard has popped up, explaining how it?ll all work. The video starts with Microsoft?s Scott Hinsen demonstrating the device. He waves at the camera until it recognises him, then once the dash appears he explains how voice commands and gestures work when using Kinect. Throughout the video, Hinsen shows how Kinect works with Zune Marketplace to pause and rewind movies, as well as how it works with your own music. It seem perfect for people who keep losing the remote down the back of the sofa. Kinect is due for release in November. Thanks 1UP. http://www.vg247.com/2010/06/23/new-kinect-dashboard-shown-in-action/ Video at source - will look for a YT rip Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/913462-new-kinect-dashboard-shown-in-action/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OOOOOOOO Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I will not be buying this. But it's kinda cool .... a little clunky looking. I can imagine my arms aching while that slow ass cursor moves achingly slowly to the target!!! I hope they have settings to change the speed of the cursor!

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 23, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2010 ^ don't think we're watching the same video, looked really responsive to me. It even understood when he switched hands without slowing at the start of the video. The cursor snaps to the controls your hand moves towards too which saves time (Y) philcruicks 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/913462-new-kinect-dashboard-shown-in-action/#findComment-592802226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if moving your hands is too much for you then just give it a voice command, done. The last bit that I hope they can do before it ships is have to tied to whatever user account is logged in as far as voice goes, so it won't just take commands from anyone in the room like it seems to do atm. I think they'll work that out by Nov though, it has to be on their list.

Hedon Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Great video. Very responsive, and I love the movie controls. Minority report is here for real! That is the reason I was buying Kinect anyway, not for Kinectimals.

Jan Veteran Posted June 23, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2010 Looks great! I'm just want the new Dashboard (Not Kinect) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/913462-new-kinect-dashboard-shown-in-action/#findComment-592803564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySchizo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Seems more responsive than when presented in E3. Then again, no one's dancing or jumping around. Dude's just standing there ever so stiff and still there's noticeable lag. As long as you dont move your arms faster than my 90yr old grandmother, you should be good. Oops at it failing to recognize 'Xbox Zune Marketplace' and keywords popped back up instead. If these are the video highlights then I'm still not impressed. Give me a controller and watch me leave this guy in the dust.

Hedon Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Indeed, the Move, Wii and Kinect will always have noticeable lag. But the casuals will never notice or care. Just us hardcore gamers notice and care.

Corris Veteran Posted June 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2010 I really like the look of the normal Dashboard that you can see before he launches the Kinect dash, hopefully that will be on its way soon.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 26, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2010 I wouldn't expect it until Kinect launches itself. Maybe another preview scheme like there was for NXE and last year's August update to prepare for it though.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 26, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2010 Nice, thanks for posting those. Are teen accounts new or have they been around for a while? Wondering if they are part of the new family pack changes too. Shameful nitpicking....annoys me how on the horizontal pane everything starts with a capital but vertical they are all lower case (except for Xbox).

The pictures are from a preview (on Kotaku) of the Family Center and Family Pack coming to Xbox Live, so I think that's why they're labeled as teen accounts. I'm not entirely sure if they're new or not. Regan is a unisex name in the U.S. I know a girl named Regan.

philcruicks Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 looks really nice and responsive to me, I've gotta say I'm looking forward to the voice and jesture control more than the gaming aspect of it lol, tho I don't think I can justify spending ?129 just to talk to my xbox.
