Sticking electrodes to the face..!! Not so very fashionable i say.. The future plans look good though..

"There are plans to add translation
functionality as well. Speak in French for instance, and your contact in Germany will still be able to understand you."

This strikes me as the more useful feature that you'd think would be developed first. When last I looked, a silent phone call could be done via text message or email.

...or you could just send a text message.

Don't get me wrong, I hate sending texts when I don't have to, but sometimes they come in really handy.

My favorite is when a friend will text me "call me," needless to say I do not usually call them...

...or you could invent a device that can read brain wave perfectly... then there'd be no need to talk.

Maybe they can make one to recognize sign language and translate that into voice on the other end, and vice-versa. That'd be neat and more useful.

Not fashionable until you stick an Apple logo on it!

hmm i wonder if they'll ever come up with a mind reading device that translates thoughts into phone voice or messages:

"hi! Food sex games? food! Sex games, food games.. ahhh, boobs...food! Also money cars technology. Sex. Food games, bye!.. oh oh one more thing.. ALCOHOL!"

No one is seeing the other aspect of this, mute people will be able to mouth words and have them spoken by a robo voice immediately!!! This is a HUGE breakthrough spanning many possibilities (!!!) and they did all so they could text in the middle of class...

I think the problem of phone during classes and meeting is not only the noise, but also paying attention and some sort of respect.
Great product anyway

Great, now HAL9000 is portable and all we're going to hear is "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that."

Ugh hope people who are used to mumbling won't have any trouble with this.

 

[kingnoobe]

I agree with some of the others I think the translation would be the best part. And the sign language would be great if they would be able to get that to work. If they manage even just the translation i'd buy what ever phone it worked for.

Its amazing that 2 mentally disabled adults have the knowledge to create this technology. I'm sorry but they look like they have special needs.
