We have pretty good telivision technologies which can complete with Hulu Plus, Netflix, Youtube apps and many more but we should click a dozen times on a remote button to get what we want to watch at the right time. Even if we are having lunch or dinner at the front of TV we will be more conscious on changing the channels. It takes much time of ours neither we eat proper nor we saw our favorite program peacefully.
If we have an assistant for TV to change our TV programs how good it would be then we could simply tell out TV what we wanted to see, when to pause or when to turn the volume down? Sometimes your kids may hide the TV remote then you will be searching for that. What if you have Siri on your TV? Then you can ask Siri whatever you want?
Steve Job’s biography has mentioned that he was working on the TV interface toward the end of his days. He said “I’ve finally cracked it” but we never know what “it” is. Recently New York times have revealed that “it” is voice activated TV-using Siri, intelligence baked into the iPhone 4S.
Even The Times’ Nick Bilton has used up one year probing around the story of Apple TV whether it is launching the own TV set rather than just the Apple TV box. He had two conclusions on this story that if Apple TV set is coming and it’s just a question of when? His second conclusion is that Siri is going to be the main interface. He is expecting the Apple TV set may come early in 2013.
To control this TV whether you have to own an iOS device or TV will have an ambient microphone which is good enough to pick up voice commands. Apple likes to give you reasons to buy more Apple products but there are no cases in point in which you are forced to buy one to manipulate another one. For requiring a $200-plus remote, the company wanted to avoid being scoffed at them.
People who’ve had a FaceTime chat on iPad 2 know that Apple Microphone Technology has evolved. It will likely work from access your TV room; it picks up sound with astounding clarity. But then how would you pull up the Siri interface on the screen in the first place? By calling her name, perchance? Or will Apple provide a remote after all, with a single button that calls up Siri?
Both sound like elegant solutions. But if it’s all the same to Apple, we’d rather not have another gadget that can get lost down the back of the couch, even if it is a clicker with one button.
