Let’s take a glance at the Awareness API and apply it to music recommendations.

The geeks have won ! We are all carrying tiny computers with lots of sensors.

With them, we can do more than display content, we can also make these devices aware of the world around us, making them smarter.

One way to do this is to leverage the Google Awareness API in order to have rich features with minimal input from the user.

It can trigger events when some conditions are put together : when you are close to a certain area, when you plug in headphones, when it is cold or sunny, etc

It can also be used to directly poll the sensors and get some information about the world around you.

Using all these capacities to facilitate your life, your device will know what to do and when to do it, with or without your input (as configured by the user). In this talk we will show you how to improve your music experience and take it to the next stage.
