MS shows off the snap feature

One of the MANY new videos MS is coming out with recent days:

I'm a bit bummed that it pauses the game with it though. Although for some "snaps" it's probably good, but not necessary for all.

The one thing I really want to see is how snapping something through the HDMI-in port works. We've seen them say "Xbox, watch TV" for stuff, but I wonder what the command is if I want to switch to my PC, or if someone wants to switch to a 360 or PS4 game.

The command will always be "Xbox, watch TV". The Xbox will have no way of knowing what's plugged in.

This would also be my guess. Perhaps a bit of an immersion killer if you have something else plugged in, but most likely not a big deal.

Yeah instead of "Xbox, watch TV" id rather say "Xbox, watch the device that is plugged into the HDMI-pass through port".

All the voice control, and this snap stuff is why im soo excites about the one. Multi tasking will be so useful.

I cant wait to get stuck in game, and use ie to find the walkthrough or video, all on the same screen.

My current setup has my Xbox next to a couple computer monitors and I love it! Now I'm able to use my full home theatre system in my basement!

Well, I'd rather say something like "Xbox, Snap input," or something. That, or request input for a command to run the device.

If your kinect isnt plugged in u cant say snap anything.

Yep, that's a fact.
