 This is Ross Menard with The Verge, and we're in an event in Soho to check out Dance Central 3. We're in a lower part of Manhattan, somewhere in the belly button belt buckle region. What is this area called? What's interesting to us is this is actually the first bit of smart glass functionality we've seen since E3. Microsoft unveiled smart glass just months ago. It's been largely quiet ever since, and now we're getting to see the first and probably the best implementation of smart glass we've seen, which of course is a tool for trolling your friends in Dance Central. What you're basically doing is taking the menu system from the game itself and kind of putting it on a separate device. This is the second screen initiative Microsoft has been playing up a lot. So what you can do from here is you connect it to your Xbox, you sync it up, and then you can make playlists, you can select the songs, adjust a lot of the settings. Basically what you're doing is you're taking kind of the complex settings that's currently on Harmonix's game in a kind of a swipe gesture. You're basically making a much simpler touch interface. Dance Central 3 comes out this week, however we won't be able to see smart glass until Windows 8 comes out, or maybe even later. That's pretty much entirely up to Microsoft at this point. However the system, the app is here as part of smart glass initiative. It's code once, works everywhere, so it should work on the iOS, on the Android, Windows phone, Windows 8, whenever that comes out. Again, that's entirely up to Microsoft. What Harmonix has done here is actually pretty good, it's pretty effective, and of course it's the first time we've seen it in months. Now I'm gonna put Macarena on every single system up there. Macarena, Macarena, Macarena. 50 Cent in the club, Macarena. And one more Macarena.
