The audiophiles will have and issue with this because I understand that the sound quality of your head actually sucks. However, I am all on board with not having to listen to your asinine conversation with Alexa in public if I do not have to. Bone-conduction...I thought this was continuation of the Palmer story below when I first read it. Thanks cageymaru.


Developers at Amazon's secret Lab 126 have been working on audio-only smart glass technology that would allow users to communicate with its virtual assistant Alexa, the Financial Times reported Wednesday. The smart glasses would connect wirelessly to users' smartphones and transfer communications through a bone-conduction audio system that would negate the need for headphones. Amazon plans to release the device before the end of the year, according to the report.
 
Don't want to go to the symphony is it offers bone conduction.....
Actually this would be good for deaf people
 
Is this a contest to see who can make the best 'bone' pun?

.....................good enough?
 
I've used "Bone Conducting" headphones during my stint around heavy machinery. It's weird.
 
Already do this with my aftershokz and google AI, so nothing really new. But I hear all of them are getting wise to the inappropriate questions everyone likes to ask.
 
So, this is pretty much the same tech as those old Jabra Jawbone bluetooth headsets from 10 years ago?
 
Insert a photo of a symphony conductor using a dildo instead of that little stick (googles term)...baton, apparently.

Yes. But this is the lighter and more interconnected more like the Jawbone Air that never came.
