Samsung offers CES 2016 visitors a sneak peek at next-generation projects
Either way, we’ll be at CES 2016 next week to try and find as many details as possible and hopefully get our hands on the new device.
C-Lab is part of Samsung’s efforts to foster creativity in its famously monolithic corporate structure.
Samsung Electronics devices are getting plenty of exposure as anticipation builds for the CES 2016 show, taking place in Las Vegas next week. C-Lab is one of Samsung’s innovation programs, which helps its employees to nurture their own creative business ideas. WELT is perhaps the most normal-looking entry, as it looks like a garden variety leather belt that you might find hanging in your closet. We can also expect the South Korean tech giant to take the wraps off of number of more traditional products, including an incredibly thin and light Ultrabook with brand new Skylake processors.
Samsung just revealed the first class of gadgets to emerge from its Creative Lab projects.
Lastly, TipTalk is pretty neat UX that lets you listen to the sound from your smartphones, not with any headset, but just by touching your finger to your ear. Data collected by the belt goes to a special app where it is analyzed and is used to develop personal healthcare and weight management plans.
Here’s what Samsung says about each of the produced it will offer up for hands-on feedback from CES attendees. The chosen products include; a healthcare belt, a motion controller for VR, and a watchstrap which transmits paired device sound via your finger. Samsung’s Rink motion controller is created to work with the company’s Gear VR headset and seems to operate very similarly to the PlayStation Move or WiiMote controller, allowing users to swing a tennis racquet or baseball bat in sports video games. To put it simply, it’s set to provide users the ability to control the content or the game itself using their hands to further immerse them in Virtual Reality.
“This enhances the clarity of calls, enabling them to be taken in public, even in noise-sensitive or loud environments, such as a concert hall or building site – without the risk of being overheard”, explains Samsung. The product can sync with smartphones,”enabling Text-to-Speech (TTS) functionality”.
