It fits to almost any attire.
And it can be even a fashionable accessory!
For example, to start a conversation with a person you just need to address him with an ordinary phrase like “Hi John! How are you? Didn’t hear from you for ages!” The device identifies who the phrase is addressed to, establishes a communication session with John’s device and translates the phrase directly to him. John reacts to the phrase, and the conversation begins.
This scenario resembles a possible talk with John when you run into him in the street.
This device is a wearable device. Thanks to its light weight (26 grams) and small form factor (55x41x8 mm) wearing the device does not introduce any inconvenience or disturbance for the user. Convenient wearing options allow the user to choose the best one that fits the situation and his own preferences.

Product Functionality
Communication
The device utilizes an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure and the Internet for device-to-device communications. That makes it very easy to install and use.
The device is a stand-alone device and does not require a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone for proper work. Though it may connect to your smartphone using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in some scenarios.
Device control and interaction
The device has been designed to be fully controlled by voice in a hands-free mode. On-board AI makes interaction with the device as natural and human as if it were your real friend or assistant.
In addition to the voice control the device provides programmable buttons to perform some functions quietly and quickly.
To start a communication session device must be activated. This is done either by pressing the main button in the middle of the front panel or giving a voice command.
The buttons locations and the overall product design assume the user interaction with the device without visual contact.
Though the main usage of the device is meant in a hands-free mode, for more privacy, wired or wireless earphones are supported. At the back side of the device there is also a phone receiver which allows the device to be used in a telephone-like manner.
For configuring the device, keeping call logs and address books, a convenient application running on a smartphone or a computer is provided.
Integration with existing information systems
The user benefits not only from device-to-device communication but also from using the product along with existing information systems.
One example is the existing fixed and mobile telephone systems. The device can accept and initiate telephone calls just in a regular way.
Wearable device and its wearing options
This device is a personal wearable communication device. To make the usage of the device as convenient as possible we have designed several options to carry it around without causing any trouble or disturbance to the user:
Specifically designed clamping clip
See an example in the next picture
The clip fastener is equipped with a release mechanism that allows the user quickly detach the device from the clip when it is necessary. For example, when the device is used in a telephone-like manner for a higher privacy.

Protective case
A thought-out design of the case does not compromise usability. It provides full access to the controls and has a slot to use interchangeable fastening brackets.
Special slots at the back side of the case can be used for attaching the device to a belt for a more reliable fixing.
