provoiceWhile the brand name 66 Audio might not be all that famous, the company is a noted pioneer when it comes to wireless consumer audio technology. Having revealed their all-new PRO Voice Bluetooth wireless headphones, this is a special pair of wireless headphones that will be different from the rest due to its unique capability of featuring integrated Amazon Alexa voice recognition. In other words, you get a breakthrough in how one communicates in the digital world, as PRO Voice will bring Alexa outside the home in order to deliver a fluid voice experience regardless of where the user is, as long as there is Internet connectivity.

Among the list of breakthrough innovations include up to 125 feet of wireless range, 40 hours of non-stop playback, crystal clear HD sound, and the MotionControl companion app, where all of it arrives in a durable yet sporty design which allows those who are active or simply dormant office drones to find it equally useful.

With the PRO Voice, you can access tens of millions of songs via Prime Music, play games and even order a pizza, courtesy of simply asking Amazon Alexa. It will be a whole new user experience for many, where PRO Voice’s new ActiveVoice recognition technology will work in tandem with the MotionControl smart app (available on iOS and Android platforms) which enables users to customize many different kinds of headphone features. Those who reside in the US, UK, Canada and Germany are able to ask Alexa to play their favorite tracks from Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, and TuneIn, while Alexa voice control for Spotify will also be available after its launch.

Different voice-control technology will include play, pause, next track, volume up and down functions, which means you never ever have to glance at your smartphone again to interact with your music with this $139.99 bad boy.

lifeprintPolaroid looks like they might have some competition on their hands when it comes to extremely small and portable printers that work best with smartphones. Lifeprint has come up with an all-new 3” x 4.5” Wi-Fi and Bluetooth printer which does both photos and videos, where it is capable of creating and printing out Augmented Reality Hyperphotos from your camera roll, Facebook, Instagram and Saved Snaps, among others, in order to make them come to life as though it is magic. This new printer is available exclusively on Apple.com as well as Apple stores worldwide.

Perfectly timed to launch before the holidays where people love to create and share special memories, this new Lifeprint printer will come with a free application that makes it extremely easy to edit, print, and share photos and videos with family, friends, and basically anyone else, regardless of where they are. Augmented Reality will enable your videos to come to life right there and then, while the Wi-Fi capability lets you print from anywhere in the world with larger prints being recommended for a better quality and experience. Who would have thought that videos could be printed out?

As part of the marketing plan to show just how Lifeprint is going to change the way we share our everyday memories, even the packaging itself will come to life with Augmented Reality technology. In other words, you will be able to watch a video about the product right on the box. With Lifeprint, sharing physical photographs with someone else across the globe is similar to sending a text — as long as they give you their permission, of course. The Lifeprint app paves the way for users to customize prints using filters, memes, stickers, and more. All photos and stickers will be printed on sticky-backed ZINK Paper.

TAP showcases new wearable keyboard and mouse

tapThe keyboard and mouse have certainly come a long way from their early days, where they were just pieces of plastic and other material which were crude to use. Then came along the ergonomic keyboard which was supposedly able to help alleviate all kinds of repetitive stress injuries among users, especially cubicle drones who do nothing but hammer against the keyboard all day long. Wireless technology came along, followed by wearable technology. It is TAP that has decided to tap into the world of the wearable keyboard and mouse, pardon the pun.

This all new wearable keyboard and mouse is certainly fashionable, and it does lend an air of Tom Cruise’s Minority Report interface although we have yet to arrive at such level of technology. Pre-orders for the TAP wearable keyboard and mouse are already being taken, with an asking price of $129.99 a pop.

It will operate sans wires, which makes perfect sense as no one would like to be tethered to something and looking ridiculous. Using Bluetooth connectivity, this wireless wearable keyboard will be able to transform just about anything that you touch into a surface on which you can type on. I would say that this is a natural evolution of the holographic keyboard that we have seen more than a decade ago, except that this one is far more versatile in its use since there is no “base” device to speak of. Being a one-handed keyboard, there is a learning curve to adapt to, but modern day technology fans should not find it to be an issue. It will alter the paradigm for controlling and texting to mobile devices such as wearable screens, AR/VR, smartwatches, accessibility devices and pro tablets such as Microsoft’s Surface Pro.

Definitely one of the cooler wirelses keyboards that we have seen in a while, that is for sure!

ION360 U 360-degree camera with wireless charging sleeve capability

Posted by Jack on in Electronic Gadgets, ion360 u, ion360 u wireless charging sleeve, Mobile Phones, wireless charging sleeve

ion360-uA protective case for a smartphone has been deemed to be a prerequisite for quite some time now, apart from a protective screen, of course. Well, ConvenientPower Systems has come up with something different this time around: an industry-first, even, in the form of the wireless charging design for the 360-degree smartphone camera that is known as the ION360 U. This is an all-new wireless charging accessory which is truly unique, offering an innovative solution for existing power-hungry social media, photo and video applications.

Everyone loves capturing a lovely photo in the first place, and sharing it on social media would naturally be the next logical step. Well, the ION360 U certainly brings things to a whole new level, by offering simultaneous wireless charging of both the smartphone and 360 smartphone-connected camera, it offers new dimensions concerning immersive mobile video and wireless charging convenience.

Camille Tang, President, ConvenientPower Systems, noted, “By implementing wireless charging into the smartphone battery case, the functionality of the smartphone wireless charging option is extended when the phone and the 360-degree camera accessory are connected. The growth of power-hungry applications like experience-sharing on social media, and immersive 360 video create the need to always be charged, wirelessly, and while on the go. This new wireless charging design for the smartphone camera meets this need.”

Right now, ION360 U’s wireless charging photo and video live streaming smartphone battery case will only be available for certain iPhone and Galaxy models, and it is obviously Qi compatible, so if you are running on an LG, HTC, or other handsets not from the select iPhone or Samsung Galaxy models, you’re out of luck. For the moment, at least, as one can always hope that ConvenientPower Systems would do something to remedy the situation for smartphone users who are loyal to brands apart from Samsung and Apple.

Musio the AI social robot

Posted by Jack on in musio, Robot Gadgets, Robots, social robot

musioModern day technology has seen the path of new toys being transformed into highly interactive robots, although one of my fondest memories of such a toy robot would be the Sony Aibo. The Aibo was an adorable dog robot, but it surely had its limitations, not to mention ridiculous price tag that put it out of reach of many. Here is an AI social robot known as Musio, which is extremely cute to look at thanks to its Japanese design roots. What is more important is the fact that Musio is a robot friend that takes the time and effort to understand and remember conversations through all the various interaction with different users — which is more than what I can vouch for when communicating with certain humans.

AKA LLC is the developer of the world’s first artificially intelligent social robot, the Musio, and Musio will be based on AKA’s AI engine ‘MUSE’. This communication robot is capable of interacting socially with all people regardless of their age, where it will be assisted by NLP (Natural Language Processing), Vision, and AKA’s rich interactive content ecosystem. In other words, Musio fits the bill perfectly when it comes to address the world’s growing demand for a robot companion.

Raymond Jung, CEO of AKA LLC, shared, “AKA’s next step is with Europe’s traditional hardware companies seeking innovation. By presenting Musio the robot, AKA is introducing its core technology, MUSE, to our future partners. We believe that our AI engine will present immeasurable opportunity to those calling out for ‘AI Plus’ for the upcoming industrial revolution.”

Musio was launched in Japan earlier this year, making it the top selling social robot in that part of the world. The English conversation feature made it quite a hit, having been configured via MUSE’s context-aware deep-learning algorithm. It can remember dialogue in the past with users, and is also context aware, allowing a natural flow of conversation quite unlike smart speakers in the vein of Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Definitely something that I would love to see end up under the Christmas tree this year!
