New gadget allows you to speak without saying a word
A group of researchers from MIT's Media Lab has developed a small gadget that allows you to control other devices and conduct searches by voice control. So far nothing special but what if we tell you that you do not really need to talk to use this device?The device in question has been named AlterEgo and is able to recognize the internal voice of users by simply transcribing the words that are formed internally. To do this, the AlterEgo is able to recognize the sound of the words through the bones, being connected from the chin to the ear."Would not it be great to communicate by voice in an environment where you normally could not do it? You can imagine a whole series of situations where you would have very noisy environments, like the landing hangar or even places with many machines as a power station, "said Thad Starner, professor of computer technology at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
