Though the company claimed it would be entirely voice-activated with an AI-like HAL 9000, the software left much to be desired (for those of you who don’t get the reference, check out the sci-fi all-time classic 2001: A Space Odyssey). Inevitably, only two games were released for it. At a staggering $2,500 per console, the Halcyon featured a laserdisc player, an attached computer, and was promised to be entirely voice activated. It was thought to be the beginning of a meteoric rise in voice recognition based video game systems, even though the RDI only actually created about 12 units. So why would I want my gaming experience to be any different?įun fact: In the mid-80s a video game console called Halcyon was released by RDI Video Systems. It seems like voice recognition technology is appearing everywhere I turn. Familiarity with voice recognition software has increased exponentially with our use of smartphones (thank you Siri!), voice controls in our cars, and smart home devices like Google Home or the Amazon Echo. That is the implementation of voice recognition technology. One of the advances I am most excited about is also one of the most complicated. From virtual reality to motion sensor technology, video games are becoming more immersive and the line between real life and art is blurring. But as new technology develops, so does our entertainment. I can’t believe that only a few short decades ago, gaming companies were just introducing games like Pong and PAC-MAN. The world of gaming is expanding its user experience more rapidly than ever before.
