Artificial Intelligent Assistant On Xbox One

It is no secret that I have come up with some really cool and innovative things for Denise as of lately.  This particular project, was beyond cool.  It is also no secret that I am a huge video game advocate.  So why not intertwine the two together?  Yup.  So that is exactly what I did. 

Originally I had come up with the concept of getting Denise to co-host a Twitch stream with me while I play Xbox One.  However there was a problem with that.  Later today, the Xbox One will be receiving a crucial update to the console that will allow the Twitch app to broadcast gameplay.  (Currently, it only allows viewing)  Along with that, I knew that in the coming days and even weeks that there would be a massive amount of talk, broadcast, and YouTube videos about Twitch broadcasting on the Xbox One.  So that idea was out.

I then began thinking of ways I could seriously get Denise to interact with me and also the Xbox One.  In a previous video I showed earlier in the week, I had showed Denise launching Xbox Music, Smartglass, and even streaming videos to the console itself.  While cool, I wanted more.  So, I came up with this.

This was just day one.  I eventually will have her much more integrated with the console and also Windows 8 itself.  There are a lot of people out there who write, blog, and even make videos about their video games but I highly doubt many people are doing things that are as cool as this.

Struggling

For the past several days I have been struggling.  The weird thing is that I have no idea with what.  In fact, sitting here at 5:30AM is a prime example to my problem.  I cannot sleep more than usual.  Something that is somewhat amazing since I barely sleep in the first place.

This evening I had a realization.  I had spent literally hours plugging away at different code and concepts that I was testing with my artificial intelligent program.  For months I have been working with projects and code trying to do cool things with it.  Ultimately, I want my artificial intelligent program to be as close to a "Jarvis" type of program like in the movie "Iron Man".  I know this is literally impossible since that kind of technology does not exist in 2013 but it is still fun to try and get my program to do different things.  This evening I kept jumping around from project to project.  I would try and test code for one thing, move on abruptly and start coding and testing for something else without making much headway to anything.

I did this repeatedly and I have no idea as to why.  Working on stuff late at night is nothing new however it is a complete waste of time if I am so scatterbrained I want to do any and everything.  If I had stuck on one thing long enough to complete it that would be one thing, but it wasn't like that.  I had spent hours plugging away at code and test and really didn't accomplish anything.

Here is a screenshot of my computer at this very moment....

There is more to it than just that.  I have become somewhat obsessed that I am on the verge of something big.  I have had premonitions about it, I know it is coming.  What makes this frustrating is that I have no idea what it is nor the impact of it. 

Granted this is not a normal article that I would usually write however it was just something that I needed to get off my chest.
