Xbox 360 interface and VOD Metro
This major update to the interface of the Xbox 360 will include introducing the interface Metro borrowed from Windows Phone. She also leaves a greater role in VOD.
Starting tomorrow, Microsoft will begin broadcasting a new update for the Xbox. It marks an important milestone with the transition to the interface used by Metro and Windows Phone which is found in Windows 8 next year.
Metro is based on a horizontal interface made of "tiles" or signs that link hubs or thematic areas: games, video, social networks, etc.. Each tile is dynamic, that is to say, it displays an updated content such as games played last or the last movie available on VOD. In this regard, Microsoft has signed agreements with 40 content providers around the world to enrich its range of live programs and VoD content.
Another important novelty of this update of the Xbox is the further integration of voice control for users with Kinect module. It will for example be possible to navigate between the hubs and select a game, movie or other content by setting them out. Users can also initiate voice search directly on Bing. (EP)
