Already in 2014 we reported first about the new voice assistant “Viv”, developed by the semi Norwegian Siri creator Dag Kittlaus. At an event organized by the website TechCrunch recently showed Kittlaus for the first time until the advanced voice assistant.
Viv has been described as the “next generation” voice assistant, and will most likely be considerably more sophisticated than today’s solutions that Siri and Cortana.
Technological breakthroughs
the special Viv is that it uses something called “dynamic program generation,” as of Kittlaus described as a technological breakthrough in voice recognition technology.
the system works by first utilizing advanced natural language recognition to understand the Kittlaus call the user’s “intention.” After this is established is assistant able to “write” the program that answers the request on his own.
The assistant is therefore not dependent on the answers are programmed in advance, as with other, similar services . In practice this means that among other things can set very intricate, detailed questions, then assistant has a ready answer in just milliseconds.
Asked tricky questions about the weather
Kittlaus demonstrated capabilities by setting questions about the weather. Instead of simply asking what the weather would be tomorrow, he asked, however, whether it would be warmer than 21 degrees around the Golden Gate Bridge after 5 o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow, which Viv tackled without problems.
the technology is still under development, and it remains unclear when we may receive pleasure from it in mobile phones, but it is undoubtedly in the direction it is going. Kittlaus’ demonstration video of Viv see below.
Apple’s voice assistant may soon be used by even more: Siri will in fact launch the Mac “
Fast to around 4:30 minutes in the video below for demonstrations of Viv.
