Zusammenfassung:Technology is provided for controlling one or more electronic devices networked in a multimedia system using a natural user interface. Some examples of devices in the multimedia system are audio and visual devices for outputting multimedia content to a user like a television, a video player, a stereo, speakers, a music player, and a multimedia console computing system. A computing environment is communicatively coupled to a device for capturing data of a physical action, like a sound input or gesture, from a user which represents a command. Software executing in the environment determines for which device a user command is applicable and sends the command to the device. In one embodiment, the computing environment communicates commands to one or more devices using a Consumer Electronics Channel (CEC) of an HDMI connection.
