    Dear MS: XBox Kinect question


    Dear MS,

    I'm a 9-year XBox Live gold member here with a question.

    1) Why can't I use my XBox wireless headset's mic for voice commands, instead of Kinect? Or my Jawbone? I'm tired of yelling at the TV and it's really loud in here.

    2) Is there a list of titles for Kinect on Xbox One or 360 that only shows the titles that use Kinect's motion-tracking system? I am not interested in any titles that claim to support Kinect, but in reality, they don't—just support voice commands?

    3) Will you please issue the full Kinect Sports free to everyone who owns a Kinect One, because frankly, we paid $100 extra for our Kinects and we deserve to have at least one game that works with it. Come on.

    I just want to use my Kinect for something truly cool and revolutionary, which I thought we'd see by now based on the promise of the Kinect One. Also I'd like to use my headset mic instead of the Kinect mic for voice recognition because I don't want to have
    to raise my voice to say "FUS ROH DAH!"

    :)

    OK Ill bite..

    1. The kinect is more than a mic. Yo need more than a mic to issue commands. It has to take what you say, figure out what you said, turn those sounds into digital commands then issue those commands to the right area. A mic.. in laymens terms, transform
    your voice to a digital signal where a speaker transform that signal into sound waves.. nothing more nothing less.

    1B: If you are yelling, your kinect is not properly calibrated.

    2. Each game is specific. If it uses the kinect, it will say it on the game info (kinect enabled). You said you want motion but yet want to use a mic for voice commands?? make up your mind

    3. while you are at it, might as well as for some monies, a new car, a gold ring, a new house... wy not MS has billions and can afford it right?

    Tid bit of info.... MS or any of the suits or devs or tech guys are in these forums. This is the general discussion area. Nobody of worth will ever read what you just wrote.

  9. lol @ Bird.

    Every time someone makes a post that just reeks of entitlement, I picture that 'strong man' game you see at carnivals, with the big hammer and the bell at the top of the high striker. Wow... he came sooo close...

    Dear OP,

    They don't read this area. To be honest you would be really lucky to get a reply anywhere on the forums from a staff member.

    Dear MS: XBox Kinect question

    You 9? You have good spelling for a 9 year old. I thought you would post like Goth Vampira or what here name is. I don't think she's 9 though. I would use rich formatting but I don't want to spend ages on these forums. My friends who are 9 can't spell real-estate.
    And they wouldn't write as formally as you do.

    Voice commands is a Kinect Feature. Kinect has the PROCESSING power where as a MIC doesn't. You get several who say Microsoft let us play Kinect Sports Rivals with our controller. Didn't they notice the very first word of the title of the game? There's more
    than one game that uses the Kinect. Zoo Tycoon does too! Use the Kinect to interact with animals, like feed them at interaction sites you can create at exhibits, hose them, and play with animal. The game even shows YOUR FACE and you as you interact with the
    animal. It's fun. It's worth the extra $100. QR codes, voice chat, signing in without having to enter a password or pic, voice commands. Kinect Sports Rivals is really fun too, especially the jet boating. It makes you feel like your doing it in real life.
