translation model, eliminates language barriers with real-time subtitle translations,

Generative Wallpaper transforms screens into

Dear SW Yong :
Congratulations
on this innovations . I have no doubt , such path-breaking TVs will be welcomed
by a huge number of TV viewers – including myself
I
assume this is just a beginning and you must have planned further improvements
I have
no doubt you must have conducted some sort of a “ Market Survey “ ( re : what
customers want ) before writing down the specifications. Even then , allow me
to list below what are my “ Needs – User Preferences – Personalization Features
“ – which , I think millions of TV viewers would endorse ( some of these, may
require you to come up with an innovative REMOTE CONTROL or for TV to accept
SPOKEN commands – in multiple languages ) :
( A
) Subtitle Translation
Whereas this is a definite step forward
, it is a “ half-way house “. Consider full “ Speech-to-Speech
“ translation of the dialogue into multiple
languages . Surely , this technology is already available.
( B
) Volume Controls
Most TV shows are terrible when it
comes to catching the dialogues since the loud background music score drowns
the dialogues. I want to control the volume
of the background music ( or even turn it off
altogether )
( C
) Advertisements
These are a “ Pain in the Neck “ . I
want to be able to choose “ Advt OFF mode “ , eliminating all Advts.
Now ,
this may not work since the TV channels run on their ADVT revenue. In this case
, on the remote provide a button which would allow me to switch-off the SOUND of advts , or vastly reduce it.
Please
also consider possibility of my being able to RATE
an advt ( on a scale of 1 to 10 / “ hate “ to “ love “ ). This would enable
your AI to generate “ Personalized Play Lists
“ and provide very valuable FEEDBACK to
the advertisers
Another
option >
No
separate / stand-alone advts what-so-ever. All product or service advts to
become “ Virtually Placed / Embedded “ into the video / show ( as just announced by
American company REMBRAND )
( D
) News
Currently , news-related photos /
videos keep repeating dozens of times during the announcement of a news item by
the Anchor / Reporter. This is very boring – to say the least . Please enable your AI powered TV to FREEZE that image /
video , till the announcement gets over. Simply no repetition
And , please could I slow down the speed with which some news-casters speak ?
( E
) Sleep Detection
If , while watching TV , I doze off ,
your TV should be able to detect it and shut
off after 10 minutes
( F
) Favourite Channels
Currently , the remote enables me to
create a list of my favourite TV channels. This manual method must be replaced
by your AI TV , learning about my “
interests / tastes “ from my “ watch history “ ,
and , make up such a list on its own . This should be a dynamic process and
not frozen on some past watch-history
( G
) Suggestions
Your AI TV should have “ ability “ to
make intelligent “ guesses “ about my interests / likes / dislikes , and be in
a position to suggest to me , foreign TV channels
that it “ thinks “ I might like.
( H ) Health Monitoring
Now some screen-based devices are available for
monitoring my health by just looking at the screen. I just heard about ( 1 ) FACEHEART
CARDIO MIRROR ( 2 ) WITHINGS OMNI
I urge you to incorporate these health monitoring features into your TV.
If any abnormality is detected, TV should send out messages to personal physician
or a nearby hospital and video-call to family members
( I ) Video
Conferencing
Since Smart AI powered TVs are internet connected ,
the set top box should work as a CPU / GPU
While conducting VC meets , TV should have built-in features like “ KRISP “ and “ SWAPCARD “ for automatic language translation and generating note / minutes of
the meeting
( J ) Content / Data
Currently all TVs deliver SOUND ( audio ) and SIGHT ( video )
I would love to have future AI enabled TVs to also satisfy my senses of TASTE , SMELL and TOUCH
How about letting me :
> Smell the fragrance of flowers as TV walks me ( of course, a 3D Volumetric projection ) through a garden
> Taste that pizza / beer , as if I am in a real restaurant
> feel the softness of the skin of my garand child, from 10,000 Km away ?
