Next-gen Kinect will detect eye movement - rumour
Citing 'multiple sources familiar with the company's Xbox plans', The Verge reports that the new Kinect sensor will tie into the firm's focus on TV with the new console.
It claims that the sensor will keep track of multiple users, and eye tracking will allow it to pause media content when a user looks away from the screen.
The report says that TV will be a major focus of the next-generation console, which will apparently be capable of receiving a cable box signal via a HDMI input, and overlaying its own user interface.
According to the report, the functionality will be available at launch, but extended support for additional cable services will be rolled out post-launch.
This comes after reports earlier today which claimed that - contrary to previous rumour - the new Xbox will not require an always-on internet connection to load local games and content, and will provide backwards compatibility for retail Xbox 360 games via an add-on in the form of a new, small Xbox 360-capable set-top media device.
Microsoft is widely tipped to be planning a next-gen Xbox reveal event in May.

That's actually really cool. I'd like to see how this ends up being made if it does actually happen. That's really smart though. It's interesting to see how they're going to go with the next generation and what new features they're trying to and going to add.
