![]() The beauty of this hyper-directional speaker technology is that those sitting next to the listener can hear only around 10 percent of the actual volume. Astonishingly, the system will even balance itself should you tilt your head to one side. The onboard camera then tracks the listener’s head movements, adjusting the stereo field accordingly. Using “Smart-beaming” technology, the Noveto N-1 creates a discrete, localized listening environment from your desktop without the use of headphones. Noveto N-1 Invisible headphone solution Noveto N-1 – Soundbar with Invisible Headphones It certainly sounds like an exciting prospect either way. As to when exactly we will be skipping through playlists telepathically, only time will tell. Their neuronal biosensing solution has other potential applications like controlling a walkie-talkie’s push-to-talk function and their is a world of possibilities that will open up should it be incorporated in VR/AR headsets. The system uses a method called “EarEEG” that combines an AI algorithm with the data captured by the sensors.įollowing the presentation at CES 2022, Wisear is looking to partner with an earbud manufacturer to take the Mind Control system onto the commercial market. Using sensors from the same manufacturers that created Apple’s AirPods 3 and the Bose QuietComfort earbuds, the system measures your brain activity. Using specialized earbuds, the system carries out commands when you think of raising the volume, skipping to the next track, or muting the audio completely. ![]() ![]() Right now, there's no word on how much the N1 will cost, but Noveto says it will begin shipping in mid-2022.Mind Control Music Control with Wisear Technologyīased in Paris, France, music tech startup Wisear has been hard at work developing the technology that allows your thoughts to control a smartphone’s basic music playback controls. Here's hoping the N1 doesn't go rogue and kill us all, eh? And just to make things feel even more sci-fi, that light is known as HAL (Heuristic Activity LED). That's all brought together by a slick ring light on the front of the N1 that lights up as you interact with Alexa. There's also a USB-C port and a 3.5mm AUX port to connect a secondary audio device if you wish. A fabric grille sits on a black matte aluminum frame, with buttons along the top of the device for Bluetooth pairing, volume control, and microphone muting. Noveto says that when you look at the N1, the device will recognize your face and engage with you, offering suggestions based on personal profiles and prompts - for instance, telling you how many unread emails you have in your inbox (eek!). To up the smart-factor, Noveto has also decked out the N1 with Alexa voice recognition, which works in tandem with the device's face recognition technology. Indeed, the Noveto N1 has been targeted at those working in shared spaces, with the company suggesting that it could be a good way to reduce noise pollution in offices without mandating that workers wear headphones all day. ![]() If it does work as well as Noveto claims, the N1 could be a compelling alternative to wearing headphones in the office, without the listening fatigue and pressure headaches that come with wearing tightly-clamped cans for long periods of time. As we aren't attending CES 2022 in person this year, we haven't been able to test the N1 for ourselves (but you can bet we can't wait to get our hands on it). How accurately the device will be able to track your ears while ensuring that you aren't disturbing others around you remains to be seen, as does its audio performance.
