Then came the major section of the Speech, dedicated to Kinect. This is the peripheral formally known as Project Natal.

First, they demoed the new menu system with the guy waving at the screen to sign-in and then using his hand to select something. He then showed the Voice Recognition Software by just saying what he wanted (with the word XBOX in front). He selected and started Tim Burton's Alice and scrolled through the film using his hands. He then paused, re-started and ended the movie just by saying "Xbox Pause" etc.

Next up, came Video Kinect. This is a video chat system which lets you choose your friends on both Xbox and Windows Messenger and talk to them via video. You can also watch films etc. with that person whilst connected. Not sure how legit the demo was as it seemed so scripted between the demonstrator and her sister who she called up.
