New screens show Kinect dashboard
Microsoft has released some new screens for the Kinect dashboard, showing how the next update will incorporate the motion controller upon its release.
One of the screens shows the heading, “if you see it just say it,” which refers to that fact you can call the application to load it, thanks to Kinect’s voice recognition capabilities.
The new menu also allows you to move things around using gestures from your hands; just like in Minority Report.
It all sounds great in theory.
Kinect is due for release in November. A price for the device will be revealed at gamescom in August.
Via Gameaxis. Thanks Mike

Am I right in thinking the dashboard as it is will still be there, but this is like a kinect ‘portal’ so to speak?

This looks like the Wii Channels set-up…

Yeah, this is just the Kinect dash. I doubt it’ll be replacing the main ‘coverflow’ one.

@2, you’re right – it does.
I wonder if you can choose what goes in the slots?

I can’t imagine for a second that that’ll make it to Europe.

It probably automatically takes your picture and emails it to the police.

Would be fucking funny if it automatically took a picture and posted it on Facebook or Twitter
EDIT: Oh btw, jerking off isn’t really sex

No, I didn’t. I’m no’ bri’ish. Also, my nickname isn’t Armored or Armoured. You should go put on your Sony PS3 3D-sunglasses, and try again
