Sony to launch hands-free personal assistant
In the age of wearable tech, Sony is one of many companies striving to make our everyday life more like a sci-fi movie.
Not only do we now have Google glasses and hover boards, but now the entertainment company has announced plans to release a hearing Bluetooth device.
Sony’s next-generation ultra-miniature Bluetooth modules, currently under development, will fit into small, inexpensive, user-controlled headsets “without the need for any other processor.” Essentially, it will be like wearing your smartphone in your ear.
According to the company, it is to act a virtual assistant of sorts. The device will respond to verbal commands, allowing the user to place calls, dictate messages, perform web searches and navigation tasks–all while operating hands-free.
Watch the video above to get a glimpse of how the product will work. Tell us in the comments, would you get one?
