Smartphones are an essential for many consumers but naturally require hands, eyes and full attention to be used, which is something the Samsung Galaxy Air concept aims to change.
Designed by Yash Saboo, the earpiece works by being paired with your smartphone to intuitively allow for control without having to ever take it out of your pocket. The stem on the earpiece is touch-enabled to let users easily ask for help, while a series of hand gestures help users maintain control over calls, music and more.
The Samsung Galaxy Air concept is equipped with bone conduction audio to keep the ears open and help the user maintain spatial awareness. The device would work well for most users and wouldn't interfere with prescription eyewear or sunglasses.
