Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #81
So here’s something that I think is some pretty cool news. Apparently Amazon has recently filed for a new trademark called Echo escape and this is for here in Canada and so what is Echo escape?
Now I should say first of all that, just because Amazon is filing for this trademark or has filed for this trademark, it doesn’t necessarily mean that this is for sure coming here.
Lots of companies often file for trademarks to protect something that they’re thinking of creating and it may or may not come to where they’re falling that trademark but, having said that, this is a very cool concept.
It’s not totally clear exactly what the trademark pertains to, but it’s likely some sort of escape rooms skill that is totally controlled by voice through Alexa.
Here is a short excerpt of the trademark filing and it says downloadable mobile applications, software for developing, conducting, organizing and hosting, physical adventure, puzzle, treasure hunt and strategy games, featuring voice controlled clues, riddles and logic games.
This looks like it’s taking the voice controlled gaming to a whole another level.
So this is really cool and if you search online, you can actually see a youtube video of some people demonstrating what’s known as Echo escape in the United States.
And in this particular one the escape room experience is based on Tom Clancy’s, Jack Ryan.
It’s very cool because the video shows the participants talking to Alexa getting clues controlling things in the environment, turning a fan on, changing the color of the light so that secret messages become available to read using other devices with a screen to look at and communicate with, you know, theoretical spys or that sort of thing.
So this looks like it’s taking the voice controlled gaming to a whole another level by creating actual physical riddles and puzzles and things to be solved in order to escape from the room.
So again, there’s no guarantee that this is coming to Canada, but all the signs and all the hints point to something that should be a really cool game and a really cool experience, totally Alexa controlled.
So I’ll make sure to keep you posted about any other details I hear about this, about when or where you can access this, and I think it’s going to be pretty neat. Talk to you soon.
