stick your finger in your ear

October 7, 2005 @ 6:42 pm

…and listen to what it has to say. Japanese researchers developed a a ring, called Ubi-Wa, that turns your finger into a phone receiver. The ring converts speech sounds to vibrations and then sends them down the (finger) bone and into the ear canal… As it gets better developed and thus smaller, it will have no space for function buttons. But don’t worry, you then will be able to simply tap different function commands, which the ring will understand and interpret. The future is here, and so are future investment bankers of the world walking around with fingers stuck in their ears. If you have or make a funny picture representing this future, I will give out a prize.
