Google has filed a patent to create a system by which Google Glass can recommend dance moves to those who wear the high tech device.
That means that Google Glass will be able to determine what particular song is playing in the background before suggesting dance moves from a possible library of moves stored in its database, according to reports. The wearable may also show the user, videos of other people dancing to the same song, so that they can understand the moves they should be doing.
The patent reads, “The content identification module may provide information associated with a content of the media sample, such as identification of the song and the dance, to the wearable computing system. The wearable computing system may determine dance steps corresponding to the content of the media sample and may generate a display of the dance steps on the HMD (head mounted display).”
Apple's Siri digital assistant and apps like Shazam already posses the ability to name a tune at the request of a user. With the new patent Google Glass will take the technology to the next level. Google Glass first generation device did not get a good response and the company stopped selling it. Rumors had circulated that the internet giant was planning on scrapping the wearable headset altogether.
However, Google chairman Eric Schmidt recently affirmed Google’s commitment to the device and the technology behind it. “It is a big and very fundamental platform for Google. We ended the Explorer programme and the press conflated this into us cancelling the whole project, which isn’t true. Google is about taking risks and there’s nothing about adjusting Glass that suggests we’re ending it,” Mr. Schmidt added.
