Microsoft is more than ready for this week’s launch of the Xbox One, but it’s already working on a number of improvements for it to operate better. Among them is a new natural voice interaction support system, one that works in a similar manner to Apple’s Siri.
The company recently demonstrated this voice control in a video demonstration, showing how it makes it easier for users to look for content rather than giving precisely worded commands. Saying something like, “I feel like watching this movie (with the title replacing “this movie”) or “show me action/adventure games” will do the trick.
This is a hurdle for the company to get over, as its prior products haven’t really had the strongest natural voice support. However, with the help of Deep Neural Network technology, Microsoft believes it can get the job done.
No word yet on when this new tech will launch, but it’s likely to be available next year.
