In this first episode we run down the news by Samsung on Bixby 2.0 and the opening up to developers, and how a startup secured 4mln USD for a game played fully through the voice, while driving. Also, we touch upon the richness and depth of conversations with examples by professor Elizabeth Stokoe (Loughborough University).

Guest

Every episode we invite an expert from the field of voice to share insights and experiences. This episode we had Sophie Kleber, executive creative director at digital agency Huge, as our guest. At Huge she creates future-forward user experiences to help transform businesses and shape the way we use technology. From screen-based interfaces, to voice UIs, to sentient computing, Sophies work shapes some of the largest companies in the world, including IKEA, Under Armour, Goldman Sachs, and Warner Brothers. She is a thoughtleader in the future of design, has written on behalf of TED, and speaks regularly at SXSW.
