Making a soundless call?!?!

The Institute for Anthropomatics has developed a technology that enables people to speak soundlessly and still to be understood by the conversation partner. This technology is called “Silent Sounds” and is based on the principle of electromyography, that is the acquisition and recording of electrical potentials generated by muscle activity. This muscle activity is measured in the face.


An example of this new innovation is soundless calling. The user can speak into the phone soundlessly, but is still understood by the conversation partner on the other end of the line. As a result, it is possible to communicate in silent environments, at the cinema or theatre, without disturbing others.
Already the "Silent Sounds"-system makes on average only one mistake every one hundred words!

Another field of use is the transmission of confidential information. For the transmission of passwords and PINs, for example, users can change seamlessly to soundless language and, hence, transmit confidential information in a tap-proof manner.

So in the near future, the electrodes will be placed in mobile phones...! Will you make use of this application? Tell me and give your reaction on this blog!

Have a nice evening!
