Winter is still upon us, and it is still freezing cold in Korea but that doesn’t seems to bother LG at all and they just released in over-there their latest Whisen Air Conditioner. Ok I know AC nowadays are more than “cooling” machines and also happen to heat you frozen ass, but hey why on earth announcing something like this mid-season for a launch early April? Anyway these new series of AC are not just a huge bunch of dumb Plastic pillars but real geek wonder with voice …
When it comes to air conditioners, there are some which, when serviced well and at regular intervals, work as though they were brand new. Other air conditioners, despite receiving the same kind of meticulous care and attention, start to rattle as though one was sitting in a horse-drawn carriage that is making its rounds through them ancient Roman cobblestone roads. Well, LG intends to make sure that they remain at the top of your shopping list when it comes to air conditioning systems with a new tech-savvy cooling system. In fact, this Whisen unit from LG is said to be able to receive and act out voice commands from as far as 16 feet away, meaning the age of Tony Stark’s JARVIS or Judge Dredd’s motorcycle and gun is upon us soon.
Imagine speaking out commands without having to leave the comfort of your favorite sofa or chair, now how about that? Lost the remote? No worries, just speak to the Whisen and feel it get to work. You can even opt to tap an NFC-capable smartphone such as the LG Optimus G on a pre-programmed NFC tag, and the LG Whisen App 3.0 will adjust the temperature automatically, too. With an integrated camera for remote viewing purposes, your air conditioner also works as another security point for your home. [Press Release (Translated)]

We’ll be frank: it takes some pretty special features for an air conditioner to pique our interest. Consider us intrigued, then, when LG unveils a truly tech-savvy cooling system. A 2013 Champion-style Whisen unit is reportedly the first to directly take voice commands from as far as 16 feet away, letting us cool things down without having to leave our chairs. The AC system is uncommonly aware of the mobile world, as well. Tap an NFC-capable smartphone like the Optimus G on a programmed NFC tag and LG’s Whisen App 3.0 will automatically adjust the temperature, on top of more conventional remote control. Still not sophisticated enough? The new Champion has its own built-in camera with mobile viewing — it can double as a not-so-subtle security system while we’re away at work. Full details of its launch aren’t yet available, although LG is taking reservations for South Koreans between January 14th and March 31st, well ahead of the hot summer.
