Xbox One User Interface

[Demon_Skeith]

Microsoft has revealed the Xbox One's new user interface. It starts with Kinect-powered voice commands that can turn on the system itself, and your TV: "Xbox, On." When you turn your system on, it remembers what you were doing last time you powered it down, letting you jump right back into your previous experience.

The new Xbox One features deep live TV integration. Users can use voice commands to switch between games, movies, and live TV on-the-fly using Kinect. If you want to do more than one thing at a time, Microsoft says this is "now a reality." Using "Snap Mode" users can browse the internet on one portion of their screen, with a movie playing on the other portion. Kinect hand gestures can open or close these "snap points."

Skype is also integrated, and can also be used in Snap Mode. You can have a Skype video call on one portion of your screen, while playing a game or watching a movie on portion.

Deep fantasy sports integration was also demoed with a new fantasy sports Snap Mode feature.
Microsoft also demoed how live TV discovery will work on Xbox One. Users can use gesture or voice controls to discover and browse through available TV options.

I wonder how well this will work?

I like the TV part cause I don't have cable.

You will still need a tv connection box I believe, due to the HDMI in slot.

God dangit Microsoft.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

they will have their own video game content channel along with the normal streaming stuff, that's about it I believe.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

That's lame. I'd rather have nothing.

Well the first one is suppose to be halo based.
