Google has hinted that its wearable tech will be a true delight for music lovers in the coming days.
Google does not want to miss on any single feature to make its wearable tech more attractive for consumers. After enabling search option, maps, and voice control on its wearable tech, it's now time for Google to introduce sound searches on the Glass.
"We are dipping our toe into musical waters," said Ed Sanders, marketing head for Google Glass, reports USA Today."The ability to find and listen to music on the go is important to have as a feature for Glass."
Glass users can identify any song playing in the background with the sound search command, "OK Glass. What song is this?" The Glass in return will offer details about the singer, the album and the year the song was released in.
The California based tech giant may also include one more sound command in the coming days, "OK Glass...listen to," and the Glass users will be able to access songs from native online sources like Google Play Music and All access, reveals a recent post on Rolling Stone.
Goggle has also come up with proper ear-buds to complement the anticipated feature on Glass. The ear-buds will be available in two forms, the bone conducting and mono ear-buds, in multiple color options to go with the Glass. The ear-buds will reportedly cost $85 and will be released this month end. According to Android central report, none of these ear-buds match up to the superiority of Google Glass. This new feature will consume a lot of battery power.
Google has already offered its wearable tech to some early testers who are referred as explorers by the company.
One such explorer Young Guru had been using the Glass for a couple of months. Guru is a DJ by profession and also an artist. According to Guru, the wearable device has been extremely useful in collecting sounds from anywhere that he can implement later on his tracks to play at parties.
"In hip hop, it's like a collage. I take drums from this track and keyboards from another and mix it. It can also be a sound from the city," Guru said in a statement. "With Glass, I can add on special things to enhance the music - stuff you wouldn't normally collect in a studio."
The new sound searches according to Guru will help him in identifying any track easily that sounds interesting and use them later for song mixing.
