Once the alarm wakes you up, the Mimicker alarm asks you to choose from three different games to get your mind ready for the day in 30 seconds. The games include taking selfies, pictures of coloured objects and repeating phrases.

Designed simply as a fun and amusing way to wake up, the app is used to showcase the software brand's technical advancements in machine learning with Project Oxford.
