- Should you be able to see Twitter 'ratings' for a program? Of course!
- How about translation - do you want that? Uh, yes...

Tech Thursday: Listening TVs!
We've touched upon the television a couple of times in this space - TVs became 3D; TVs & the 4th Wall; TVs becoming Interactive. This 'post' will expand on that last topic - particularly around some of the cool concepts AT&T unveiled today as a part of its "Innovation Showcase".

Wow. Just wow. This feels a lot more like the distant future than current technology.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does - the first version of Kinect (shown in the video) does not contain all the features they reference, but it does have the cool hand swiping motion/control that you see in Minority Report.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say Scooter - is the video a joke? You linked the 2009 Natal demo when the ready-for-purchase version of the product, the Kinect, is available in stores right now?
ReplyDeleteI hear really, really good things about the Kinect. People are lukewarm about its use in available games (Dance Central is the big hit), but the Minority Report-style interface which replaces a remote is super cool.
It seems like between that and voice commands, our interactive technology is leaping into the "distant future".
PS (unrelated) - I have a Wet Wednesday this week: Robitussin DM. It tastes like medicine. Yech.
