Mini PC to wear as a listener

Mini PC to wear as a listener
If some design watches or spectacles connected , others develop high-tech ear. This is the case of a prototype developed by Japanese researchers. They managed to reduce the size of a PC headset. A portable technology that is controlled with facial gestures.
This invention must be an engineer at the University of Hiroshima team. Acknowledging a weight of 17 grams, the smart headset uses a series of infrared sensors to detect movement of the face. Its wearer can thus control and execute a command with a simple blink, teeth grinding or other facial expressions. It can connect to a device via Bluetooth to access various applications and notifications. Officiating as a miniature PC, this headset connected embeds a chip and a storage space. But it also includes a GPS, a gyro sensor, a compass, a barometer, a microphone and a speaker. In its application, the device could, in addition to relaying some features of your mobile, be useful for the elderly or disabled. It would thus better monitor their health by controlling biological parameters.
In the prototype, this high-tech headset is expected on the market to the current 2015. However, its price is still unknown.
