This sounds great, as I am a big fan of One Voice communicator and a Xbox 360 users, so this is ideal for me. More details on a future show and here is the press release (via Chris Lanier)
One Voice Technologies, Inc., developer of 4th Generation voice solutions for the Telecom and Interactive Multimedia markets, today announced that the upcoming release of their Media Center Communicator™ v3 for Windows Vista will allow users to simply speak to play music, videos, watch recorded TV or play photo slideshows on Xbox 360 gaming consoles. One Voice's Media Center Communicator can control up to five Xbox 360 game consoles connected to a Windows Vista computer.

"Imagine walking into your entertainment room and simply saying, for example; Xbox Play U2 or Xbox Play American Idol, and your Xbox immediately starts playing that content," said Dean Weber, president and CEO at One Voice Technologies. "With our technology you can control both the main Windows Vista computer along with controlling up to five Xbox 360 game consoles using voice commands. We allow the user to uniquely name each Xbox 360 in their home; for instance one might be named Family Room while another named Game Room. This allows the user to say - Family Room Play U2 or Game Room Play CSI Miami. This creates the ultimate digital home experience combining the power of today's PC's running Windows Vista with the flexibility of having up to five Xbox 360 game consoles in your home offering a complete networked digital media distribution and gaming environment. Now with the launch of Windows Vista and millions of existing Xbox 360 game consoles already in the market, this creates a very large opportunity for our company."
