Multimedia headset with attitude
Image Gallery (19 images)One of the more visually arresting wearables on display at the recent CTIA Fashion in Motion shows was this vertebral wireless interface to be worn around the head and neck. A distinct possibility for a sci-fi horror movie role, the vertebral form of the Synapse concept came to University of University of Bridgeport student David Salonen in a dream, and has created such interest that he is interested in discussing options on how to bring the idea to market. “It’s completely free from buttons, plugs, wires and doohickies,” says David, “and an ideal way to stand out from the masses of umbilically-connected techno babies."
The Synapse has twin earpieces with individual touch-sensitive controls, is mutable with a single tap and volume adjusts with the swipe of a finger. It has twin throat microphones to enable discrete conversations via your mobile phone and it isn’t going to come loose because the pretensioned arms provide a secure fit that moves with you. The earpieces articulate further via ball-and socket joints.
“I'm interested in making Synapse a reality, but i have yet to think about what is the best way to do that,”says David.
