How to listen to music through your finger

At CES, Samsung presented several strange devices from one of its divisions - Creative Lab, but for some reason, many people were very cool about the smart belt, which should monitor the activity and weight of the owner. The controller for VR headsets turned out to be expected, but the smart watchband, like all wearable yet, caught the attention of the press.







And then - by and large only because, among other things, it offers a very specific opportunity: to talk or listen to the content through the finger.

However, for those who need it, let's say at once that this does not require a TipTalk strap. The secret is simple, and it is under the cut.



Apparently, we are talking about (now already banal) technology of bone conduction of sound, and having enlisted Bluez 2-s , I recreated the “illusion” of the strap on my wrist, and I must say: it works.



First of all, I checked what would happen if I put ordinary headphones in a fist, and the effect was very predictable: nothing. Then I checked the same thing on Aftershokz, and in the process of this kind of experiment I clearly heard the sound:







At the same time, the tighter I plugged the auricle, I copy the guy from the picture, the better I could distinguish the sounds. Secondly, I asked my wife to tightly plug my ears, while he also leaned his forefinger against the bones: the sound at the contact could be heard, but if I didn’t remove the finger, I wouldn’t.



Next, I "clasped" the palm of the headphones:







And, finally, from the pharmaceutical gum I tried to imitate the position of the bracelet on my arm, making it possible for the sound emitters to come into contact with the bones as closely as possible:







It looks, of course, a little ridiculous, but convincingly, given that in this version of headphones, “distributing” noise from headphones is very much minimized, then the risk that I caught sounds “just like that” is 99% excluded.



Of course, the finger is a versatile tool with a wide range of possibilities, up to the twisting of the screws with nails, so it’s not surprising that moving it around the screen of a smartphone and only is quite archaic, but I must admit that one of the new Samsung products on CES- 2016 is a strap with a piezo-sound transmitter, maybe a little better than I used when I made headphones with bone conduction technology at home , but nonetheless. No magic



Regards to Samsung

and with gratitude for your attention.







Good evening!
