Or gathering data of what people like in games. Companies already do this.
I'm not that scared about privacy stuff on my consoles, because it's not like the internet where if you click on something by accident, your intentions can be completely misinterpreted, same with Google searches. Like I'll search on Google about people I've never heard of if they're mentioned in something, but I don't like that Google assumes I like their work. That needs to be done better.
For games though, I don't really have a big problem with it because there are only so many games, and even then the ads aren't that hard to ignore or mold over time as you play stuff you actually like.

Glasses, wands, and motion gesture controls are not what I want in gaming. The more immersive these companies try to make gaming, the more ridiculous gamers end up looking. Kinect, Move, and the Wii remote weren't revolutions. Neither was 3D glasses. Or the Virtua Boy. It's just a way for these companies to rebrand Smell-o-vision as the next big thing.
In Kinect's case, the thing didn't even work as advertised. Everyone thought it was going to be some sort of Minority Report revolution but it was a laggy mess that serious developers didn't even want to make games for. That should worry anyone.

I don't know. Listen, I hate motion controls as much as anybody on here. I think they're useless, and only work in very rare cases that don't warrant their overall existence. On the other hand, there is always room for improvement with stuff like Kinect when it comes to UI. I think it could be a great tool for everything but gaming.
When it comes to these glasses, I'm actually fairly excited. The difference between these and the Kinect or PSMove is that they're not going to affect the control of the game.

It looks like some Xbox group at Haifa (Israel) is working with next gen Kinect:
That's not surprising since that's where 3dv (3d depth sensing game camera) was before Microsoft bought them pre-Kinect
Interesting...that sounds more far off than right now.

They have Xbox team in Israel?will they create this team for shooter games?
But didn't they use PrimeSense tech (also Israel) in Kinect?

They use the Primesense hardware (at least on kinect1), but MS develop their own software.

Never heard Israel army use on rails tech to attack middle east countries
I did some investigation and according to the event they handled prior, the site went live ~1 week after the registration + we have that new site rightnowatmicrosoft.com
I expect either an announcement of the event or at least an ARG or something today.

Here's hoping!

I admire your spirit.
I wonder what song they're going to use as their like main song for the event. It's going to be some hipster thing that only people in their 20's living Seattle listen to. That's why I love Microsoft's game stuff. It's always like aimed at that "one-step-beyond-MTV" kind of market.
I guess that's old, 360 Microsoft though. Who knows, maybe they'll change their image up a bit.

My point was more... what would you expect the former 3dv people to be working on? the obvious conclusion is kinect

I am telling you.
The Game. Triple H's theme music
I'd rather see Allard, Ballmer and Mattrick walk out in black and white.
grasping at straws...
I don't know about today, but we're getting an announcement of the event in March. Like I said before, I'm expecting them to set a date after March 19th. (Gears Judgement launch day)

Yeah, that seems likely. Also, the risk of leaks is significantly increased due to the START (Strategies, Tactics and Regional Targets) FY14 starting next week (March 4-7), so I assume they don't want to delay an announcement for too long.

If the event is on April 26th, I don't see them announcing that officially until the end of March.

I dont even believe the April 26th date. it is way too odd and way too far away, i think we will get a event this month
Interesting, I wonder if they dropped the PrimeSense tech from Kinect 2.

Probably slightly arrogant (#1 console, know devs will flock), and slightly a consumer decision (announce closer to launch so that it has a bigger impact with consumers).
MS would be smart to follow the Apple model and have pre-orders ready to go within days of the announcement as well.

I assume this is some sort of tacit acknowledgement that MS will at least say something about the next-generation this month (whether its an announcement of an event or a tease).
It will deliver, it has to.
I think we'll see a lot of stuff that is kind of common sense, but has slipped people's minds. Stuff like The Walking Dead Season 2, Fallout 4, Mass Effect: Whatever, etc., not to mention a bunch of cool looking XBLA/PSN games. Games we'll all be excited for, but we don't really expect until they're announced.

Publishers are openly announcing games for it, anyway. It's kind of hilarious.

Yeah, it's a bit strange, and I saw a mention on Gamasutra that SCEA has a session devoted entirely to PS4:
http://schedule2013.gdconf.com/session-id/824243
Microsoft has got a lot of sessions and speakers at GDC this year, and at the moment the focus seems to be on Windows 8. But it's got little on Sony's session, and current generation is becoming less relevant for each day (at least in a development perspective, in terms of transition from this generation to the next is extremely important financially).
those things probably wont make the main stage conference. at most just mentions with logos

I think this years E3 will be software driven to an extent, but I think the excitement of this years E3 will be answers to the hardware questions.
Will Kinect 2 work?
What is the PS4 Camera?
How much do the consoles cost?
What services will I have to pay for?
Does the new Xbox controller split in two?
Did Sony shoot most of its load at its meeting?
Tripp Daily

I think Microsoft could be looking for a quick "Apple style" turnaround from announcement to release.

march unveil confirmed.
Larry knows it's March confirmed.
