Why bother pushing buttons to answer calls on your Bluetooth headset when you can use something like the Jawbone Era?
There are a lot of amazing headsets on the market, but the Jawbone Era is the first to have a built-in accelerometer. In other words, this gadget is motion-sensitive and will respond if you tap it or shake it like a maraca. Other features of the piece include a 10 mm speaker and background noise eliminating technology. The Jawbone Era is available for $129.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Motion-sensitive Wearables
- There is an opportunity for the development of other wearables beyond headsets that have built-in motion-sensitivity technology.
- Gesture-based Controls
- Incorporating motion-sensitive technology in other devices like home audio systems, thermostats, and even cars can provide hands-free gesture-based controls for everyday tasks.
- Body-mapping Technology
- The use of accelerometers and motion sensors can pave the way for the development of body-mapping technology in the healthcare industry as well as in sports and fitness applications.
Sectors Adopting This
- Consumer Electronics
- Motion-sensitive technology can be applied to other consumer electronics devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and even smartphones.
- Automotive
- The implementation of motion-sensitive technology can be utilized in cars as a more natural approach to gesture-based controls.
- Healthcare
- Incorporating body-mapping technology in health monitoring devices can provide more accurate diagnostics and better treatment options for patients.
