Microsoft Files Patent For Their New Xbox One Gaming Console

Patents may not always be approved and those that are approved don’t always turn out as expected, but patents give tech aficionados a fascinating glimpse into the future of their favourite devices. Apple is usually at the forefront of these patent filings, based on our previous reports, but since we’re talking game consoles now, let’s look at the latest patent filed by Microsoft for the upcoming New Game Console Xbox One Durango.

This patent is related to biometrics as a tool for the next-gen Xbox to recognize its users. This would entail calculating certain factors, such as the firmness of grip on the game controller and the length of the user’s fingers. These factors would allow the device to identify users based on these physical factors, so theoretically speaking, a user can login to Xbox Live, turn the console on, play a favourite game simply by just picking up the hand controller.
