communications
A London start-up has used technology common to audiology to make a two-way bone conduction headband for hands-free communication in noisy environments such as construction sites.
The headphone-free mobiWAN_TR, developed by Mobilus Labs, a firm launched in 2017 uses a walkie-talkie headband that can fit in standard safety helmets. It transmits voice communication directly into the inner ear via micro-vibrations on the head, and is backed by a cloud based crossband (VoiP/RF) software platform.
The headband has been developed to be compatible with positioning and navigation products made by construction and engineering outfits such as Trimble, with whom Mobilus Labs recently partnered.
