Talking AI Disruption With the Man Who Built Google’s ‘Brain’

11/01/2017 In category News

Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa are starting to feel like just the beginning

2017 could very well be the year of the robot — not the T-1000 or even the real-life anthropomorphic monstrosities that garner viral headlines every few months, but rather stand-alone living-room devices imbued with AI smarts. Google Home and Amazon’s Echo are the most famous, but a whole raft of these gadgets is preparing to flood the market.

Smart watchband answers calls with a fingertip to ear

The Sgnl smart strap converts classic watches into hybrids and improves smartwatches as wearers answer calls by touching a fingertip to their ear

Sound vibrations travel from the strap through the hand and finger and into the ear. Wearers speak into a small microphone on the strap. Because of the direct contact with the ear, privacy is ensured. No one other than the wearer of the strap will be able to hear the call...
