From year 2006, there will be a sharp increase
in situations where people listen to speeches or music while watching
a screen. This would include watching a digital TV program on a mobile
terminal (known as one-segment broadcasting) or a mobile audio-visual
player, or using a videophone over a 3G mobile phone or optical fiber
access at home. It is easy to imagine that many problems could easily
arise if conventional wired headphones are used in all these situations.
As users walk around, wires could easily get tangled or snagged. Extended
wearing of the headphone would cause user fatigue, and frequent connections
and disconnections would wear the headphone contacts. VoiceUbique
has been developed as a solution to this so-called "year 2006
headphone problem".
VoiceUbique is an ultra-compact, lightweight, wireless audio
reception unit, designed in the form of an earphone or ring. The user
can wear it all day and still lead a normal life without discomfort.
The unit can be worn both indoors and outdoors repetitious. VoiceUbique
consumes such a low amount of power that it can be used without battery
replacement for up to two years.
Anyone will find it easy to use. It requires no troublesome
operations, such as having to turn the power on or off, or tuning
to a channel.
Since infrared rays are used for communication, there is no risk of
interference with devices using radio waves, such as mobile phones
or wireless LANs. |
