World’s first AI orchestra – watch them perform I LG and Google Assistant

Published on Dec 3, 2018

We created the world’s first AI orchestra – made up of 25 LG wireless smart speakers powered by Google Assistant voice control.

Watch the video to find out what happened…

Introducing the LG AI orchestra
Our orchestra performance took place at the City Varieties music hall in Leeds. 25 LG XBOOM AI ThinQ speakers took the place of regular musicians – mounted on plinths on the stage.

They then performed a short concert of music recorded by the Leeds College of Music, which was sent to the speakers via LG smartphones using Google Assistant voice control.

Each musician was recorded separately, so we could play their instrument in isolation through a single LG speaker - showcasing the audio quality of the XBOOM AI ThinQ.

What the experts said
“I was blown away by the final result,” said Leeds College of Music’s James Warrender.
“I thought the LG XBOOM AI ThinQ Smart Speakers did our musicians’ beautiful work proud.”

Meet the speaker
The XBOOM AI ThinQ is a wireless smart speaker. You can control it with your voice to stream your favourite playlists or ask questions about the weather and news thanks to built-in Google Assistant.

But as well as being smart, the speaker sounds superb. We’ve partnered with sonic pioneers Meridian Audio who brought 40 years of expertise to the XBOOM AI ThinQ – allowing you to hear real instruments in real space.

Google Assistant Updates at CES 2019

Published on Jan 9, 2019

As expected, Google Assistant has a massive presence at CES 2019, and not just in terms of floor space. While Google’s exhibit area tripled from 6,000 square feet in 2018 to 18,000 square feet in 2019, the company’s greatest impact is felt in the range and number of areas in which Google Assistant now seeks to help.

Resources from Google services and Google A.I. were called into play to develop new ways in which Google Assistant can play a role in customers’ lives.

Google Assistant is still trailing Amazon Alexa in the push for digital assistant dominance, but the latecomer is gaining fast. The greater message from CES 2019 isn’t all the new Google Assistant-compatible devices and applications, but that Google is going all out. We’ve summarized the headlines of the significant Google Assistant developments and announcements at CES 2019 below.
