The Future of Sound is Here!

February 19, 2016 By Bill

Augmented Reality Hearing at last

Tune out the harsh, tune in the mellow…for real!

From MIT Technology Review, post by Rachel Metz: “Here Active Listening System includes two earbuds and a storage case that’s also a portable charger.”

A new startup, Doppler Labs, is coming out with earbuds that allow you to control the ambient sounds in your environment. With the exception of requiring a smartphone app (and their size), they’re just like the Z.Earos earbuds I envisioned (and wished for) in my Glide Trilogy, which teens used to tune in and out surrounding sounds: tune out those nagging parents, but tune in that secret conversation across the hall–you get the idea.

Can’t wait to get a pair!
