The Microsoft Kinect has given a new impetus to the console. Indeed, Microsoft has introduced a new way to interact with our TV without using a controller. In addition, Microsoft is exploring other ways to use this system, such as using it in Windows 8.
If you look at today's Smart TV, you will see the effect that Microsoft has with Kinect. Indeed, currently, many companies are trying to implement a solution integrated voice and motion recognition to improve the user experience. The Smart TV from Samsung has a built-in camera that you can use to navigate, but it's terribly rude compared to Kinect.
Side of Google, it has implemented voice search in Google TV, which is great for those few who still use it.
On a gaming platform, Kinect works well. In an environment like Windows 8, it is necessary to have methods of interaction faster and more accurate than simply hold your hand in a specific place for a little while.
In the near future, you will certainly not place the Kinect on your PC, but the demonstration in the video below introduces some interesting concepts for motion recognition in Windows 8. The operating system recognizes and uses both hands to zoom, rotate, and can recognize the movements of each hand and use it as a click. Simple gestures allow easy navigation and practical, hands become active members of the user interface.
