    But where do you put the camera? If you’re sitting in front of the TV, then near the TV makes sense. What if you’re sitting facing a different direction with a book though? What if your hands are full?

    A camera based system would be much more limited, and probably wouldn’t work in the dark.

      You’re assuming that we can’t have both. Why not have it as an complementary input?

      I think looking at a device and talking is better than saying hey $brandname before everything, but having both would be better still.
