Access Web from Console?

Hi everyone,

I'm not a gamer so I would appreciate some help on this issue. I run a research trial looking at increasing the amount of exercise/activity older people do everyday. Part of that involves them playing a specific web-based game that has exercises prescribed by their physiotherapist using the Kinect sensor. I bought the console as I thought linking it to the TV would mean a decent size screen for my participants and a console with just one button to press would be easier than logging on to the computer and having them open a website (many of these people have never used the internet before!).

Is there a way I can create a link to a specific website on the console side and not the desktop side?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you are referring to the Alienware Alpha system, unfortunately no. You can only access the Internet from the Desktop mode using a mouse and a keyboard. The Console mode is mainly used for launching games through Steam using the Xbox controller.
