Voice recognition controllers really listen

I look at something like this as a great benefit to people who have lost the use of an arm or hand in still being able to play console games. They have those one handed controllers that go some of the way, but this could give a whole new range of function.

there's a lot of Young amputees coming out of Iraq right now, and anything that lets them engage in the joy of gaming is cool with me.

I don't think jumping, switching, and meleeing will finish the fight.

Raheem-

I don't want to start a flamewar here, but he didn't say the amputees were American. Maybe he wants injured Iraqis to be able to play?

To the issue, if we thought people on live were annoying now, what if all we heard was "jump, jump, melee, shoot, switch, grenade..." That would be horrible!

Finally, a way to get realism into that Judge Dredd game I always wanted. "Double Whammy..."

Eat shit Raheem, those kids are dead because of President Bush, not the amputees.

Jump... Melee... Switch... Jump... Switch... Melee... Switch... Melee... Jump...
Cool Nontheless

Of course, because simply commenting on how amputees could use this is suddenly a political bitch fest. It's completely unrelated.

You make me sick. It's perfectly logical and reasonable to think of how useful this would be for amputee victims, whether they were incapacitated by an accident or war.

People trying to make everything political shouldn't be commenting on message boards or blogs.

Well if you have Turretts and your ticks involve the controls for halo 3 then you in luck

Get over yourselves. Start bringing up the war and you're gonna get called on it. You are the sick ones. Kill some kids then come back and play some games? Blame whoever you like, Bush didn't pull a trigger. Rate me down I'm sure, nobody could ever criticize the hegemon. Blasphemy in the name of Yahweh!!!

Dear Raheem,

GTFO. Spit your pointless drivel elswhere. A gaming blog isn't really the place for your mindless b/s

When will people learn to just ignore the post they hate. If everyone did that they might just go away...FUCK BUSH! LOL

Just because this technology presents one possible use doesn't mean it's an invitation to begin a rant on personal philosophy. No one really cares what you think on a non-gaming related subject. The assertion you try to present doesn't even come across as relevant to this discussion.

This Demo shows the possibilities of Voice technology for gaming in the near future, and how it not only could make gaming new and exciting, but also be of huge benefit to those who have been crippled in any manner or form.

In a sense, you're right. There ARE possibly millions of children who could be benefitted by this technology. They're in hospitals across the world trying to recover from a traumatizing wound, or are in their homes trying to cope and regain functionality in their daily lives. Technology like this could speed up the recovery process and help ease the trauma of losing a limb, for all age groups.

Whether you lost fingers in a Boating accident, had your hand crushed in a construction project, were have a deformity caused by disease or genetic flaw, or had your hand blown up by a "dud" firework on the 4th of july (causing intense nerve and tendon damage and damaging the bone), this technology presents one possible alternative for these people so that they can keep enjoying gaming.

Taking a potshot on what was meant as a harmless example and expecting to not get called on it was wrong. You should know better than to make comments like that. It either proves you are a troll, or serves as an indicator of your maturity, whether physical or emotionally.

...and trying to act like a Martyr with the cliche "Vote me down, I don't care, I'm right and you're wrong" bullshit...come on, grow up. Defend your arguments like a man, or get off the internet.
