What is to stop someone from shouting "Ok Google Now" on a bus or in a crowded room?
I'm curious how the "always listening" will fly. This is another example of technology that is far ahead of the sociological issues which will take a while to resolve.
(On that note, I feel like every day our newest technologies stretch farther and farther away from regular people, and it will become a major issue of our generation.)
I am personally most excited by quick access to the camera. I'm curious what 10 megapixels will look like, but typically this is total BS, and a waste of pixels, you can usually reduce phone photos to 70% of their original size, which means throwing away 1/2 the pixels (and file size).
Now, my biggest issue: upgrade my terribly creaking Nexus S to a Nexus 4 right now, or wait a month or so for this swanky new Moto X?
- eco 13y agoIt fingerprints to your voice to some extent. Not sure how good it does this but on The Verge they had one guy program his Moto X using his voice then the other two hosts tried to activate it and couldn't get it to recognize them. This is apparently a problem with Google Glass though. Anyone can say, "OK, Glass...show me pictures of Rick Astley" and any nearby active Glass will follow the command.
- hypersoar 13y agoThe problem with Glass isn't quite that pronounced. it's not always listening; the wearer needs to wake it up before it'll take commands.
- aviraldg 13y agoI'm pretty sure one of the major tech review sites specifically tested that out (I think it was The Verge) -- it only responds to your voice.
- fsckin 13y agoThey said (as I recall) the cadence how you say it when calibrating is the way it expects you to say it in the future.
- hadem 13y agoDoes anyone know if it is possible to change the phrase from "Ok Google Now" to something else?
- joelackner 13y agocurrently you cannot (according to their docs), however it sounds like that will be possible in the future.
