Kinect Brings Voice And Motion Control To Xbox Live

Kinect engineer Ron Forbes demonstrated how users will navigate Xbox Live using Microsoft's motion-control system today, using a combination of movement and voice controls.

Ron took the stage at Microsoft's 2010 E3 presser to show the audience how Kinect would change the way we navigate Xbox Live. The Kinect camera recognized Ron, logging him into Xbox Live, bringing him to the Kinect hub. Then he used voice commands to select Zune, and navigated menus using hand movements.

"Xbox pause" paused video playback. "Xbox play" started it again. Simply saying "music" started music playing.
