A world where technology is more than technology, just like Samantha is more than an operating system in the brilliant Her movie. This is the future for Moto Hint, Motorola’s innovative wearable device.
It’s probably the film that has best summed up the impact of technologies on our lives. Based on a futuristic scenario, Her it is one of those works that leaves no one indifferent. Awarded with the best original screenplay at the 2014 Academy Awards, it tells the story of Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) and his relationship with Samantha, the operating system with which he falls in love.
Her manages to break social barriers, and transport us to a future where the unreal is possible. A world in which artificial intelligence overcomes programming codes and evolves as if it were a character in the film. Raises, no doubt, a conflict in which science fiction and technological advances intermingle with the most intimate of the human being: your emotions, your fears, your life.
Spike Jonze’s film is not only brilliant, but also advances a future where technology, far from being futuristic and unreal, seems close and helps in aspects such as work or daily life. In other words, it raises the evolution of technological systems that we can see todaylike the wearable tech. An example of Her that has already found its site today was presented just a few days ago. It’s called Motorcycle Hint.
Developed by Motorola, this device is placed in our ear and connects via Bluetooth with our smartphone. It is, however, much more than just a bluetooth headset. Its advanced features are reminiscent of the system Theodore uses in the film to communicate with Samantha. For example, it is able to detect when it has been placed in our ear, because it incorporates specific sensors.
Thanks to Moto Hint we can perform tasks using voice software. With just a few words, and the potential of Google Now and Motorola, we will be able to make calls, send emails or post a message on a social network. The advantage of Moto Hint not only lies in its activity through these voice commands, but it can also be useful to receive sound notifications without having to take your smartphone out of your pocket.
Presented by Motorola during the past IFA 2014, this device shows again the importance of adaptability in the innovative wearable tech. And the future seems to take us to a world where this type of technology is invisible, evolving into systems adapted to our body, where design complements the usefulness of these systems.
Moto Hint is now available in the United States for a price of $ 149, and by the end of the year it could be distributed in more countries. His arrival brings us closer to the futurism proposed by, a world where technology is more than technology. Like Samantha for Theodore it was much more than an operating system.
