It just looks cool but it looks like it's all pretty slow and quite tedious. You have to be standing, as has been confirmed unless they figure out how to fix it. And you'll have to wave your hands then hold your hand up and still for a couple of seconds to select something. the voice thing is slow too. you have to say XBOX YADA AYDA, wait a sec and it responds. 
 it has fun game potential, dance central looks like a great time. but using a remote or a controller is WAY more efficient when it comes to menu navigating than waving your arms and using voice commands. it will be neat for a few tries and to show off to friends and all. but after the cool factor wears off, you'll get frustrated and want the speed and accuracy of your controller back. 

I think it'd be cool if they were able to bring that same hands-free thing to PC. Navigate your PC hands free.

People are easily amused.

People don't seem to mind the navigation for the Wii's menu system.  Having to hold position for a second to select things is stupid though.  Why not activate a menu option with a simple hand gesture, like making a fist?

Because the press are a bunch of nerds and the addition of this sci-fi high-concept futuristic crap strokes their collective nerd boners regardless of how practical the actual functionality is.

It seems more taxing then simply using a controller. Having to wave your hand around, and then speak clearly enough for it to understand you seems like more work than simply pressing buttons on a controller.

Its "futuristic movie" tech. Substantially less efficient than what it replaces but boy oh boy is it futuristic. "Xbox pause", oh thank god I don't have to press a single button like some kind of caveman.

did you read anything i just said or are you so kenict-excited you can't possibly think of any negativity about it?

I agree. Completely pointless for menu navigation. It's a gimmick that people will get bored of quickly after the release of Kinect.

Whatever man, I want to be able to navigate menus by the mere thought of it.

I think it looks cool..  
 
Be nice to just be on the couch and quickly pause without looking for my controller
