The Microsoft division that formed the starting point of this project is the Microsoft Garage, a kind of experimental lab where Redmond company’s employees allow them to work on projects they want, which often have no connection with the company’s core activities. company.

This lab tends to develop mobile apps and, surprisingly, their playground is Android, not Windows Phone. For this time, the developers want to add a fun concept to an alarm clock-type app that is often boring in terms of functionality.

With Mimicker Alarm, developers can make the user want to have fun as soon as they wake up. This is how we find various fun features for you to configure, apart from the manager of different alarms when you want to set a wake up time.

A fun app that breaks the monotony of waking up

Phrases such as “A hunter who knows how to hunt without his dog is a good hunter,” an expression (surprise, joy, etc.) defined by the system as soon as the user of the application wakes up. I invite you to rehearse with me. Kidding aside, they all have a purpose: to break the unpleasant side of the alarm clock while improving Microsoft’s artificial intelligence functionality.

This app is based on a project called Oxford and has several programming interfaces. The Emotion API will help analyze facial features, for example. Speech API will be used for diction practice and Vision API will be used to analyze an object in space in real time. All this data will be sent to Microsoft, allowing researchers to come up with better algorithms. For the most skeptical among us, know that Microsoft wants to be reassuring and promises that this data will be anonymous.

Impersonator Alert right now only available on US Play Store. We wonder what the app can give once in the French Play Store. Of course it’s free. You can always be woken up by strangers if you wish.
