and often. Gracenote's new Automatic Content
Recognition (ACR) technology takes that same concept and
applies it to TV shows and movies, and it's coming soon to
a smartphone or tablet near you.
A yet-to-be-named app will let your device "listen" to whatever you're
watching, identifying TV shows and movies based on dialogue or the
soundtrack, then
displaying a variety of info about whatever's on screen. Gracenote
is also expanding its audio offerings, showing off both
HABU and MoodGrid, which are mood-based music curation
services for mobile devices and in-car systems, respectively.
Software groups songs based on emotional themes, then plays them back
depending on your selected mood. Happy? Sad?
Intrigued? We'll need to wait until CES for the full scoop from
Gracenote.
