This should have happened two years before the Xbox One was out.
Now it's too late.
It's a real shame they didn't have any employees working on Kinect software development before the Bone released. Seems like a real miss.

They just won't let that bad idea go. *sigh*
And so another cycle of Microsoft burning money on things no one wants begins once again.
In a few months it should Windows Mobile's turn.
Yep. They had their chance and blew it.
Now the only place to push it is under the bus.
Hopefully they improve speech recognition and shorten phrasing.
It's really about time they allowed for less strict phrasing when trying to access games/apps. Why do I need to say Xbox, Go to Amazon Instant Video and then why do I have to say Xbox, go to Amazon Instant Video, Nextup when I want to start the next episode?
It's so ridiculous. Allow me to say Xbox, go to Amazon Instant and then make sure there are app specific phrases. So I should only have to say, Xbox, Nextup instead of everything else.
Avatar enhancement, Kinect development, is Mattrick coming back next?

I don't care what anyone says, Kinect has done a lot of great things outside of gaming for people with disabilities.
If you don't like it then ignore it but I'd rather see them continue to develop the technology on the device as a user of it and a s someone who would like to see it continue to do good in the world.
This is sort of the thing you do before you release a console that had a mandatory kinect, not after you already fragment the user base.
The vitriol spewed about Kinect on GAF is laughable. Some of you act as if it is a direct attack against you.
It's ridiculous with the Halo 5 beta.Hopefully they improve speech recognition and shorten phrasing.

Its an attack on common sense. Why replace a perfectly acceptable and predictable button press with waving your arms in the air with unpredictable results?
Diablo 3 is worse. It's "Xbox, go to Diablo III Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition". Shortcut phrases would be nice.It's ridiculous with the Halo 5 beta.
"Xbox, go to Halo 5 Guardians, Multiplayer beta" it's almost faster just to go find the title. The system should easily be able to manage if you just say "Halo 5"
Well, now they get $50 more for it if they can convince anyone to buy it?
Diablo 3 is worse. It's "Xbox, go to Diablo III Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition". Shortcut phrases would be nice.
Kinect might see better application when used together with VR also.

You clearly have little idea of what Kinect does on Xbox One.

I think it's sad that the best use for Kinect 2.0 is as a simple microphone.I didn't think I was going to like the kinect after 1.0 sucked ass. But with the xbox one, it is a very nice addition and I often times catch myself trying to give voice commands to other TVs.
It's shit for games, but great for added functionality.
Kinda ties into Spencer's comments after the Kinect-less X1 announcement, which left me wondering how they'd go about it.
"This might seem backwards, but I believe the decision we made to allow people to buy Xbox One without Kinect included, in the end, will actually lead to more Kinects in the market," he said. "I believe that you've got to sell the console before you can sell Kinect.

I'm satisfied with what it offers me currently, so any further uses is cool in my book.

Kinect is amazing technology but it's useless for gaming. I wish MS would focus more on other applications.

New Xbox Team Forms to Push Kinect into a big deep hole in the ground.

I'm glad you don't run these companies if your reaction to failure is to give up.
So what might Tsunoda be working on? One possibility is Microsoft's long-rumored Xbox VR headset, which we recently learned might be officially unveiled at E3 2015 in June. Development is reportedly far along, as Xbox VR development kits were recently sent to unnamed studios.
Another possibility is that Tsunoda is working on Microsoft's other head-mounted display technology, the Google Glass-like Fortaleza project that reportedly blends virtual reality and augmented reality. You can see a Fortaleza concept shot at right.
I think that improvement will come with the rumoured Cortana integration, hopefully we'll find out this month.

Two questions -- Does it actually start the game, or just navigate to it?really? that's fucked because I can simply say "playstation, Diablo" on my PS4 and it will navigate to that game. almost all other games have multiple phrases too, "GTA", "GTA5", "grand theft auto", "grand theft auto 5" all work.
As an Xbox one owner, I'm aware. It made the os harder to use and less dependable than the ps4. Navigation is a bear on the Xbox one. Luckily they have been revising it to remove some of the crud caused by pushing the kinect.
Two questions -- Does it actually start the game, or just navigate to it?
And also-- Is there a voice command to record game footage without going into another menu?

I think it navigates to the game and then you say start.
You can say "start video" and "save video" to record your pre-set gameplay video length.
EDIT: It may actually be start video clip and save video clip
Just read that, can't remember if both commands work.
