TagCandy Uses Augmented Reality to Change the Way we Eat Candy [Video]

Evan Selleck, Jan 14th 2011 Discuss [0]

Engineering students at Keio University's Yasuaki Kakehi Laboratory in Japan have set their sights on candy. Using a sort of augmented reality, based on sound and sensors, the students have created a new way for people to eat, and enjoy, candy. With a demonstration on video, the students have high hopes for their device, which can give you the sensation of biting into an apple the next time you put a sucker in your mouth.

Motorola Roadster, CommandOne and Finiti unveiled

Chris Davies, Oct 6th 2010 Discuss [2]

It wasn't just phones that Motorola had to show us; the company also has three new Bluetooth devices, including a pair of headsets - the CommandOne and Finiti - and an in-car speakerphone called the Motorola Roadster. Clipping to your sun visor, the Roadster has dual-microphones, noise reduction, an FM transmitter for piping calls and music through your car stereo, and - when used with an Android 2.2 phone - MotoSpeak for text-to-speech and speech-to-text.

Sanwa 400-HS015 bone-conduction Bluetooth sunglasses

Chris Davies, Oct 22nd 2009 Discuss [1]

Our experiences with bone conduction have been mixed; we didn't have fantastic results with Motorola's Endeavor HX1 Bluetooth headset but a brief play with music-centric headphones have been more impressive. So we're holding judgement on the Sanwa 400-HS015 Bluetooth sunglasses until we read a review: they hook up to your cellphone, PMP or notebook and stream stereo audio via the Bluetooth A2DP profile, but use bone-conduction rather than traditional in-ear buds.

Motorola Endeavor HX1 Bone Conducting Bluetooth Headset review

Vincent Nguyen, Sep 14th 2009 Discuss [1]

The Bluetooth headset market has split in recent years, with the budget end of the market being served by low-cost, simple devices for $50 or under, and the high-end packing complex noise-reduction and DSP for $100 upward. Into that fray steps Motorola, whose Endeavor HX1 headset packs military-type bone conduction in order – they claim – to completely vanquish background noise. After the cut, check out the full SlashGear review and why we reckon the HX1 isn’t quite ready for the urban battlefield.

Motorola Endeavor HX1 Bluetooth headset attempts a Jawbone smackdown

Chris Davies, Jun 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

Motorola have unveiled a new Bluetooth headset, the Endeavor HX1, which the company claims to be the "only Bluetooth headset to use true bone conduction technology". That's likely going to raise some eyebrows over at Aliph, whose Jawbone headset is known for using a vibration-sensing system; in the HX1's case, a new Stealth Mode shuts off the standard microphone and solely uses a bone conduction sensor in the earpiece.

RoadRunner hands-free headset – close, but not quite there

James Allan Brady, Feb 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

I’ve seen several headsets recently that use bone conduction to get what was said to you, to you, but they were lacking the voice part that goes on your neck for direct connection to your voice box. Now we have a headset that has the voice box part but some dinky little ear bud for the speaker part, when will they marry the two? Read The Full Story

Vibe Body Sound bone conduction headphones

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [2]

I don’t get the big deal over headphones, earbuds or what-have-you. I’m not a music connoisseur or anything so sound quality is not as important to me as comfort and getting to listen to my music. I also don’t get the people dying because they don’t turn their music down while walking down busy roads or train tracks. The Vibe Body Sound headphones appear to be comfortable and will reduce death. Read The Full Story

Sound Leaf+ bone conduction Bluetooth headset from NTT DoCoMo

James Allan Brady, Nov 27th 2007 Discuss [0]

This is pretty much as good as it gets for being able to hear your Bluetooth headset. The only issue I can see, is that if you are in a noisy enough environment where you need bone conduction to hear, then there is no way that the person you are talking to will be able to hear or understand what you are saying. It does have dual mic’s, one directional, one not, which should help with that problem though. And even if it doesn’t, the headset is supposedly still good for those with hearing disabilities as bone conduction works a little differently than sound waves. Read The Full Story

Pantech add bone conduction to silent cellphone

Chris Davies, Oct 18th 2007 Discuss [2]

Bone conduction. No, not some heinous experiment involving a hot-plate and the contents of your Dad's underpants, it's a way of squirrelling sound into your ears by directly vibrating your skull. The key benefits are that you can still hear despite ambient noise - that means you don't have to turn the volume up - and it's far more private as eavesdroppers would have to press their faces against yours to hear it. And you'd probably notice them doing that. We've seen it before on Bluetooth headsets and mp3 players, but Pantech are perhaps the first to put it directly into a cellphone with their A1407PT.
