It will launch into what you were doing last. This passive listening is a huge deal for natural interface. It seems incredibly responsive in the demo, but for now it's unclear if this is an actual demo or if it's being simulated.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px">It also integrates right into your TV. "Xbox, watch TV" drops you right into a live television feed. The amazing part of this is that you can switch quickly from movies, TV, games, a browser or anything else, just by saying "Xbox, go to", or even just "Go to movies".</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18odkt4731syejpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ffffff"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'KinjaIcons'">S</span></span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #ffffff"><span style="font-family: 'ProximaNovaCond'">EXPAND</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'ProximaNovaCond'"><span style="font-size: 25px">Two at Once</span></span></span></strong></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px">You can also use Windows 8's snap mode (with one app "snapped" to the side of the screen" to run another app on the side of the screen while your movie, or TV or game is playing. This is kind of an amazing addition, not just for browsing movies while watching one, like an onscreen IMDB, which is what the demo is showing, but you can also, say, snap a walkthrough for a game you're playing.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Oh, and Skype!

That's a big cue that this generation is going to focus heavily on entertainment. Don Mattrick, President of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft, says that Xbox 360 is leading the industry in entertainment, because gamers are quick to adopt new tech.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=15px]The focus for the next gen is going to focus on different types of content, and use new tech, like cloud interfacing and streaming.

It will launch into what you were doing last. This passive listening is a huge deal for natural interface. It seems incredibly responsive in the demo, but for now it's unclear if this is an actual demo or if it's being simulated.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=15px]It also integrates right into your TV. "Xbox, watch TV" drops you right into a live television feed. The amazing part of this is that you can switch quickly from movies, TV, games, a browser or anything else, just by saying "Xbox, go to", or even just "Go to movies".[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=15px][IMG]http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18odkt4731syejpg/ku-xlarge.jpg[/IMG][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [CENTER][COLOR=#ffffff][SIZE=15px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=16px][FONT=KinjaIcons]S[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=15px][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#ffffff][FONT=ProximaNovaCond]EXPAND[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4][B][COLOR=#000000][FONT=ProximaNovaCond][SIZE=25px]Two at Once[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=15px]You can also use Windows 8's snap mode (with one app "snapped" to the side of the screen" to run another app on the side of the screen while your movie, or TV or game is playing. This is kind of an amazing addition, not just for browsing movies while watching one, like an onscreen IMDB, which is what the demo is showing, but you can also, say, snap a walkthrough for a game you're playing.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=15px]Oh, and Skype! You can use Skype while watching a movie or playing a game, too.
