Current Event #2

1. Topic:
Microsoft is coming up with a new gaming invention that turns your entire living room into your TV screen.

2. Article Title:
Microsoft wants to turn your living room into a holodeck.

3. Article Source:
I retrieved this article from gizmag.com

4. Summary:
This article is about a new Microsoft system that is supposedly going to enhance the gaming experience, by making it to where instead of looking at a flat screen they have to look all around. It will use some of the Kinects' depth sensing camera. This will have to be used for the player to turn their head instead of turning a joystick to look around.

5. Reaction: 
I think its an amazing idea. It will be one of the greatest innovations of our time by taking 3D to a whole new level. I for one will definitely be in the long lines of people who will camp out in front of the stores waiting to get this (I personally have never done this but just might this time.).

 This will probably spawn a whole new breed of technology, because like the Wii with motion control, everyone will copy it. If they can come up with a system that can project images all around you I can't wait to see what they will come up with next.

6. World Impact:
I think like I said earlier this will start a chain reaction of brand new technology. Everyone will want to come up with new ways to find out how to copy the things this new device will be able to do. Also I think it will also have the huge line effect(again I mentioned this earlier), but instead of  lines that reach around the block i think these lines will reach several blocks.

 I also think this will have a positive effect in the Sony platforms, because if they can get a hold of one maybe they can make even better innovations that Microsoft. I also feel like eventually it might go to computers, and from there it might go so far that TV will switch to this design as well.

  1. Nice blog Alex! That device is something I would also love to have. There are a few suggestions I have. Like before your font needs to all be the same. There are also a few grammatical errors. You have a lower case I instead of an upper case I, there are run-on sentences, and you have an incomplete sentence in your last section.
