> 343 Industries detailed how Kinect integration will figure into the Halo Universe, including voice commands to reload weapons and throw grenades, and a gesture-based system to access an item database. Three specific features were announced: Analyze Mode, The Library and Voice Commands.
>
> Voice Commands - Using voice-commands, you’ll be able to reload your weapon, throw grenades, switch between Classic and Remastered graphics and more, all using only your voice.
>
> Analyze Mode - Analyze Mode essentially lets you scan items during singleplayer into what 343i has dubbed the Library (different library, folks). Currently various vehicles, characters, enemies and weapons are confirmed. The feature is engaged by saying the word “scan” while training your reticule on an item. Your Library index will grow in collectible-style fashion as you analyze more content.
>
> The Library - The aforementioned Library is an index where detailed item info can be stored, searched and read. You’ll access the content via gesture controls.

The video seems to be taken during New York’s Comic-con.

pretty interesting i guess, something like this could play a larger role in future games if it works out well…

it would be cool if the “Library” allowed you to analyze buildings and offered in depth explanations of the halo world, so that all the connections to the story/books could be made easily

That sounds like an amazing idea for a Halo 2 remake :slight_smile:

They could offer info on the BXR company seen in Halo 2 and Unearthed!
