Gracenote and Voxonic Demonstrate CarsStars at CES
For those who would be happy with their favorite musicians acting as their personal DJ this technology called CarStars is for you. Designed to create a user interface tailored to a driver's specific tastes, CarStars provides an in-car entertainment experience using celebrity images and voices. For instance, coupe drivers can go hip hop with American King/Capital Records recording artist Mims calling out the tunes, while an SUV owner might opt for an R&B theme with Nick Ashford. CNET has some photographs of CarStars here. In the demonstration in the video below, hip-hop star Mims is making the music suggestions.
