"Show me movies with Angelina Jolie."
-"Angelina Jolie is my favorite too.
Here you go."
-So pretty cool and you can see the movies off from my guide, from my on-demand and that voice was not Angelina Jolie or Siri, but it is a voice of our app.
"Show me movies without Brad Pitt."
-"Searching
for Angelina Jolie without Brad Pitt.
Playing some favorites here, I see."
-Now that's much better.
And as you can see it get context of my previous search and only showed me results of Angelina Jolie movies without Brad Pitt.
Let's say I wanna watch "Salt" and I can say, "Play Salt."
-"Playing Salt on on-demand."
-And just like that, I can be watching Salt on my Hopper.
Pretty powerful, very simple and
gives me complete control of my live TV, my DVR and all my video on-demand content.
Okay, looks like I'm getting an alert on my Glass.
Wow, the [unk] app on my Glass is telling me that the BCS Championship Game tonight has an excitement rating of 926.
Now that's the game I don't want to miss.
"Hopper, record the game."
And just like that I can use my Glass to schedule recordings to the Hopper.
