The French company Wisear, which specializes in consumer electronics, has developed wireless earbuds, which the user can operate without touching or buttons, by pressing the teeth.
1-Wireless headphones that work with pressure on the teeth
According to the technical website TechCrunch, the new technology allows the user to interact with music players or AR / VR mixed reality headsets without the need to press any keys.
According to the company, when the wearer of the new headphones presses his teeth twice, he pauses the audio track, and when he does so 3 times, he moves to the next audio track, without making noise, gesturing with his hand, or performing any visible movement at all.
the French company has developed the new technology, by adding some electrodes and some electronic devices to the headphones, which allows the user to change the sound path, by closing the jaws.
2-How to operate headphones that work by pressing the teeth
Yassin Al-Sheikh, the co-founder of Wisear, explained that “the neural interface of the artificial intelligence program records in the new technology the activity of the brain and face, using electrodes, as these signals are converted into controls that allow the user to take actions, to control the operation of the headphones.”
Al-Sheikh said that “the main controls in the developed technology depend on the activity of the jaw, through sensors integrated with the headset, which can capture the movement of the jaw muscles and convert them into controls.”
The French company launched ready-made components of cutting-edge technology to make them commercially available.
The company announced that it had raised, through a financing round, an amount of approximately $ 2.5 million, with the aim of obtaining a license to allow the use of its new technology, by manufacturers of virtual reality headsets and augmented reality.
3-Pros of new earphone technology
The company considered that the developed technology is particularly useful in scenarios where the user's hands are occupied with anything, or he cannot control the headphones by hand.
The French company said: “Our goal, for 2022, is to provide two options for earphone technology, which is double and triple pressure for the jaws.”
The company indicated that muscle activity is the new neural interface that can be used, in 2022, for this technology.
The French company aims to expand the performance of its new technology to 12 controls, within the next 3 years.
