This is something you don't see every day.

On Wednesday, the spice manufacturer McCormick introduced an intriguing grilling innovation that lets you DJ your summer soiree and grill burgers at the same time.

The mashup of outdoor party activities is called the SUMR HITS 5000, and it allows grillers to create original music tracks while preparing food as spinning LED lights reminiscent of a DJ's turntable illuminate the backyard.

The cook can control the beats that guests hear by strategically placing food on the grill grates, and the contraption uses computer vision and machine learning to really elevate the show.

McCormick calls it the "perfect blend of mixing taste and art."

"We’re in the business of innovation," said Alia Kemet, creative and digital marketing director at McCormick & Co. "There’s a unique synergy between flavor and music that helps bring people together. It was about celebrating that relationship."

How it works

The company developed an algorithm that could detect human poses through a camera mounted on the gas grill. So when the cook makes certain movements, the cooker will release predetermined sound effects.

There are no apps involved.

All the tech is baked into the SUMR HITS 5000. The condiment tray is built to house specific McCormick spices and sauces. When you pick up one of them, the grill will play a corresponding tune.

For instance, using the hot sauce triggers a fire breathing dragon noise.

But don't expect to find one of the grills as your local Walmart.

While you'll be able to see it in action on social media, "the goal was never to mass produce grills," Kemet said. She added, "One day, people will flip burgers and flip tracks, that could happen."

McCormick isn't the first flavorful products company to unveil an eccentric tech combination this month. Earlier in June, Miller Lite showed off a new device that can be a gaming controller or a can of beer, depending on your mood.

It's called the Cantroller, and it looks like a 12-ounce can of beer. It comes with Bluetooth technology, haptic feedback, standard gaming buttons and connects wirelessly to multiple consoles and PC, Miller Lite said.
