Microsoft recently came out with a new promo video displaying app switching and voice control. CNet reports the feature on the Meet Xbox page, where the user, Archie Earnest maneuvers around the dashboard, starts up Pacific Rim and Titanfall, records the gameplay, shares it, watches television, pulls up Internet Explorer, then answers Skype before shutting off the device with his voice.Check out the video here.
According to The Verge, a leaked Xbox One revealed how the next-generation Kinect has improved for smaller play areas. Microsoft promised improvements for use in smaller environments, where a setup manual shows the new Kinect will work at only 4.5 feet away. The existing Xbox 360 sensor works at a minimum of 6 feet away, and 8 feet for 2 players.
Found this awesome read today comparing both systems at launch! Man I cannot wait for them to Launch! So darn close now too! Check out the link to the Meet Xbox One video in the quote above. I don't think we will fully know the specs of either system until launch, but between the article and the video, I'm so excited the XB1 to come out. If the Kinect works as seamlessly as it looks with the XB1, I can see how it may really become the main way that people watch their TV as well as game.
