XBox 360: Adapting To Future Technology

The Xbox 360 began life as a hard-core gaming machine, made specially for the ardent gamer.Its launch in May 2005 opened gamers to a totally new age in high-definition gaming never before seen or experienced. It is often faced cutthroat competition from Sony's Playstation 3, which keeps the tech gurus at Microsoft's gaming division on their toes. Over the years the Xbox 360 has gone thru many iterations to keep it inline with market desires and trends.

In its latest guise, known as the Xbox 360 Slim, the console supports a new smaller and sleeker chasis that may sit nicely next to your DVD player and complement your piano black giant screen TV.But there's more to it than its looks. The new console operates more silently than previously - there is not any more whirring of a noisy fan. It has also got built in WiFi which will connect you easily to Xbox LIVE, so that you can download games, videos and interact with family and friends using a spread of social media tools to hand.

Then there's the arrival of Kinect. This is a wonderful new device where you are the controller!Kinect tracks your movements and even recognises your face and voice. Imagine walking into your lounge in the morning and being welcomed by your Xbox? Followed by customized updates, e.g. The newest news from your favourite channel, the latest updates on social media, your agenda for the day, significant e-mails, and so on. All of this just by walking into a room! This is the kind of tech we have seen and envied from Minority Report and Iron Man.

Then there's the intriguing on-screen interaction a user can experience with a virtual character. Have a look at this video of Milo and you'll see what we mean. We started talking about a leading edge games computer and now have a gizmo which is central to your media and social hub with intuitive interaction that allows anybody to simply become involved. The blend of an Xbox 360 console with Kinect brings in a completely new generation of users from all age groupings and makes the Xbox more than simply a complicated gaming machine.

The future for the Xbox is bright. Microsoft is famous for its investment into smart home technology and with its enormously successful Xbox console, it's now making the first steps into bringing it into our houses without intruding or changing the way we do things.
