Reading at the Going Wimax blog, Ari Zoldan wrote about a new wimax-enabled technology called Civita that will allow Wimax connectivity in the car. He starts off by saying “Imagine a day when you can verbally command your car to synchronize a playlist of your favorite artist’s music”. Now that sounds interesting, I am one who always listens to music while driving and to be able to verbally control my playlists is something I would definatly want to have. The article at Twice mentions how its done:
“Civita uses a voice-driven search engine that recognizes complex verbal commands such as “Play me something by Frank Sinatra,” or Make a playlist of 1960s jazz” or “Make a playlist of 1977 Billboard hits,” allowing simple search and control of the Internet while driving, said spokesman Andrew Carrington. “
But not only that, this new technology has the ability to also read back your emails aloud and communicate with your home PC.
With Wimax starting to be widely deployed I guess we’ll start hearing about alot of new applications and technologies that will use it. I look forward to hearing about more.
