The backpack, invented by Microsoft, can use sensors to read information about the environment. In addition, it can use artificial intelligence algorithms to recognize surrounding objects. The backpack can respond to user requests by means of a voice assistant.
With the new backpack, Microsoft wants to solve the problem of the low relevance of voice assistants, which are used primarily at home. Using them outside the home may not be the most convenient. For example, you need to take out a smartphone and press something on it to call an assistant. On the way or when your hands are busy (for example, with ski poles), this can be awkward.
