Good morning and welcome to the latest edition of neonpulse!
Micorosft just patented (and got approval) an AI backpack. Let’s dive into all the details!
Microsoft Patents AI-Powered Backg
Imagine a backpack that's not just a storage space for your essentials but also a digital companion that can help you in ways you never thought possible. Well, Microsoft seems to be working on just that. In a recent patent approval by the US Patent and Trademark Office, Microsoft's vision for an AI-powered backpack came to light.
The backpack, which doesn't have an official name yet, is designed to be more than your ordinary bag. It's packed with sensors and AI that can detect your speech, make helpful suggestions like Siri, and even record and store audio. Sounds a bit like a spy gadget, right? But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
One of the standout features is its ability to identify objects around it, give you directions, access the cloud, and communicate with other smart devices. Picture it as your very own artificially intelligent Dora the Explorer-style speaking satchel.
Now, you might be wondering how this AI backpack could be useful in your daily life. Well, for instance, you could be skiing, and your backpack could guide you by telling you which direction is out of bounds, ensuring you stay safe on the slopes. Another illustration shows a person standing in front of a poster for a $5 Beatles concert. With a simple command like, "Hey, Backpack, buy tickets," you might be able to purchase those tickets right there.
Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't this just another 'smart' backpack concept?" Well, you're not entirely wrong. In 2020, an Indiegogo campaign for an AI-enabled backpack called the "BaqPaq" failed to gain traction, raising precisely zero dollars. Some of the BaqPaq's features bear a resemblance to what Microsoft is proposing in its patent.
Microsoft, however, seems optimistic about the potential of AI-powered "digital assistants" in the consumer market. In their patent application, they mention that digital assistants are becoming more versatile thanks to advancements in computing. In simpler terms, people want their smart products to do more, and Microsoft believes the time might be right for the launch of their smart backpack.
Here's the catch with patents, though: many of them never see the light of day. While Microsoft's idea is exciting, there's no guarantee that it will become a reality. So, for now, we'll have to wait and see if this futuristic backpack will become a part of our daily lives or remain a cool concept on paper. Either way, it's a fascinating glimpse into the future of wearable technology.
