Not sure why but saying 'Ok Google' feels a little creepier than saying 'Ok Glass'. More obvious that you aren't interfacing with a mere gadget, but a multi billion dollar corporate entity...
- psbp 13y agoI've never heard anyone say "search for it", but rather "google it".
- deathcakes 13y agoTrue - but that I would argue is a slightly different thing. Referring to a thing is not the same as addressing the thing. Would Siri have been as successful were it to be addressed as Apple?
- psbp 13y agoYeah, I guess it makes you sound like a tool, but I'm not sure what unique phrase would work better.
- glenstein 13y agoAs a person who finds both "okay, Glass" and "okay, Google" to be somewhere on a spectrum from merely awkward to full-on creepy, I would just prefer people could set their own custom keywords.
- martythemaniak 13y agoNo, I think the "Ok Google" is something they absolutely nailed. Why? Because that is exactly what you're doing - whether addressing your watch, glasses or phone - you're interacting with that robot-like corporate entity. The replies are also suitable - they have a human voice, but in no way do they pretend to be anything human-like. Contrast this with Apple (Siri) and Microsoft (Cortana?), who do the same thing, but try to make you treat their apps as some kind of human with crude tricks like pre-written jokes and puns. Personally I find that way creepier.

- richbradshaw 13y agoJust tried this in various accents - nope, doesn't work. Nexus 4, newest Google Search, Personalised Recognition on.
