Re: Logitech Revue with Google TV details
well yes, a voice recognition input system hacked onto a mouse-based UI is going to be about as useful as when they tried to hack on a touchscreen interface onto windows (ie. it sucks). But it should be possible to write a voice recognition based interface from the ground up like iOS did for touchscreens, at least for 10′ interfaces.
though i suppose the same can be said for camera/gestures based UIs, perhaps there would be some (hard to accidentally make) gesture that would be required before it would take any inputs.
that being said, i’d probably still rather just say “computer, show ESPN” or “computer, display movies containing Jason Statham”
I find that to be a much more intuitive break from remotes. gestures, at least as i can imagine them, would be more like using a remote in that you would need sequences of gestures to do complex tasks.
