Control Xbox 360 with your voice

A new product has been announced that lets you play music, videos, recorded TV or skip through slideshows on your Xbox 360, using just your voice.

Media Center Communicator V3, created by One Voice Technologies lets users control "up to five" Xbox 360s (though we have nod idea why you'd want to) and Windows Vista with simple voice commands, apparently with no voice training required.

One Voice Technologies CEO, Dean Weber explains: "Imagine walking into your entertainment room and simply saying, for example; Xbox Play U2 or Xbox Play American Idol, and your Xbox immediately starts playing that content."

"We allow the user to uniquely name each Xbox 360 in their home; for instance one might be named Family Room while another named Game Room. This allows the user to say - Family Room Play U2 or Game Room Play CSI Miami. This creates the ultimate digital home experience combining the power of today's PC's running Windows Vista with the flexibility of having up to five Xbox 360 game consoles in your home," he adds.

It's certainly raised a few eyebrows in the office but will this 360 voice tech actually work? We'll let you know when we get our hands on it.
