Microsoft to unlock more GPU power for Xbox One developers

Jist of it is the artciel is that 10% of the GPU's processing time is alotted to Kinect/OS functionality currently, although they plan to make it more efficient eventually, and free those resources up to developers. Their stance on sub-1080p resolutions also happens to be "Do what works for you". Can't really expect every developer to have the R&D and know-how to do 1080p/60fps at any rate I guess.

You can if your box isn't shit and you stopped changing specs less then 2 months from release.

There is a reason there is a huge day one patch.... and that was announced months before they actually started manufacturing the actual consoles.

"Went to a Xbox One test drive event today. It didn't go well. They lost the keys to the lock box and decided the best thing to do was to drive to Home Depot and ask for help. I followed them."



Hah. Getting close now.

Xbox One's Data Treasure Trove Could Reshape Marketing

Xbox One can essentially work like TV that watches you, bringing marketers a huge new trove of data about what's going on in living rooms, including, as one marketer put it after the speech, unprecedented information about how people engage with TV advertising.

"It could have a big impact on pricing," he said, given Xbox One's capacity for seeing whether people are paying attention or how their bodies respond to the ads, said the marketer, who wasn't authorized by his company to speak for attribution.

Biometric responses
Given that Xbox 360 has sold more than 78 million units, if even a fraction of likely Xbox One users could be persuaded to share data, the technology could create the world's largest panel for measuring biometric responses to advertising.

All speculative, of course, and the article is a little behind the times with the 'required connection' remark. Still, we have seen the new ads already on the 360 dashboard with polls and multiple choice questions. It's only natural advertisers would want more granular data. So, how much do you trust MS's privacy controls to evolve?

Microsoft exec: Kinect for Xbox One won't collect data for advertising

Microsoft exec: Kinect for Xbox One won't collect data for advertising

Uh-huh

"During the Super Bowl, you're watching TV, some great ads pop up," Lyn Watts, a Microsoft manager, said during a presentation at the PII conference here this afternoon. "You say something like, 'Xbox share,' it'll share automatically, on Facebook or Twitter, whatever you like. Advertisers are really impressed by this."

...

Kinect's unique capabilities to record and compile detailed biometric data raise some novel privacy issues. Kinect's microphone array can record audio within earshot and transmit it to advertisers. It performs face recognition and can transmit video.

"How many people are in the living room? Are they taking any action based on the advertising they just saw?" Watts said. "Can we watch the customers' reaction, and if we can, do we have the capability of showing a different ad, or the same ad, depending on what the reaction was?"

Watts, who focuses on this topic for Microsoft, says Kinect developers need to pay attention to privacy from the beginning. "Make sure you do full disclosure," he suggested. "Make sure on the back end you know what you're going to do with your data."

"Full disclosure," but what are the odds that this is a) opt-out instead of opt-in and b) the privacy settings will expand with everything opt-in by default as the tech advances?

that's not really any better than the last one... =/

[Krazy]

Does that mean in the future Xbox One owners will still be beta testing it?

[Mazmaz]

WAIT, the controller only takes AA batteries and doesn't have a rechargeable lithiums? What were they smoking when they made that decision? Gotta buy AA's like every two weeks?

[Kaisha]

Obviously we'll be getting the alpha version.

Spoiler: show

I wonder who on Microsoft's marketing team though that made it sound next-gen.

Gotta buy AA's like every two weeks?

Buy a pack of eneloop batteries and a charger.

Xbox One auto records and saves video of Achievements

Xbox One will record and save video of your Achievements, Microsoft has confirmed.

“The Xbox One will essentially always be recording around five minutes of footage in the background at any one point in time,” an Xbox team member told Champ Chong during an EB Games Expo interview. “But what you can do is, of course, view that five minutes of footage, but in addition to that, the DVR will automatically record any achievements that take place. So whenever you unlock a gamerscore, it will automatically record how you did that, so you can check it out later.”

Users can also select a certain period of time they wish to capture, and record it automatically by saying, “Xbox, record that,” to their plugged-in Kinect.
