first Voice Interactive DVD-ROM. Now, viewers can play DVDs on their computers
and enjoy an amazing digital multimedia experience combining video, audio,
graphics and voice recognition. This new digital experience is fulfilling the
industry vision of DVD.
"Watching a DVD on your
Windows XP PC opens up a whole new world of entertainment choices," said John
Pinette, director of Windows Product Management at Microsoft Corp. "Building on
Windows technologies, One Voice and InterActual greatly enhance the DVD
experience and actually change the relationship between you and your movie. With
seventy percent of DVD's containing extra PC content, you can now talk to your
favorite character, play interactive games and so much more, all with voice
recognition. These `enhanced DVD experiences' leverage the strengths of Windows
XP and are available today on DVDs you probably already own."
