HOT Watch Turns Your Hand Into A Phone by tupez(m): 2:23am On Aug 18, 2013
There’s a new smartwatch in town and this
one is literally hot! The HOT Watch is a brand
new gadget that finally allows you to live out
one of your dreams as a kid: talking to your
watch like James Bond.
Developed by PH Technical Labs, the HOT
Watch is equipped with a microphone and a
directional speaker and lets users answer
calls and talk on the phone just by holding
their hand to the ear. This will probably
make you look a bit crazy to non-
connoisseurs, but it will definitely be cool.
The HOT in the smartwatch’s name is an
acronym for Hands On Talk technology,
created by PH Technical Labs and currently
awaiting patent registration.
All you have to do is sync the watch with your
smartphone via Bluetooth. When you get a
call, your palm will reflect and amplify the
sound waves directly into your ears,
eliminating the need to use a separate
headset. Manufacturers say the Hands On
Talk technology works perfectly and delivers
clear sound for both the wearer and the
caller.
The HOT Watch phone function can be
activated just by touching the screen or by
specific hand gestures if the optional HOT
Gestures feature is activated. The feature
allows wearers to set the watch to recognize
and respond to specific movements: for
instance, moving your hand to the ear while
receiving a call will automatically answer it,
while shaking it will send the call to
voicemail.
Besides this innovative way of taking calls,
the smartwatch is equipped with most of the
features seen in a smartphone: text
messaging, reading emails, listening to music
through the native player on your connected
phone, and others.
The arrows show how sound waves bounce
off the wearer’s cupped hand to reach their
ear.
It is also provided with various apps to give
the wearer easy access to weather data, stocks
information, a calendar, news and social
networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
Manufacturers plan to provide an SDK that
will allow programmers to create their own
apps.
And on top of everything else, the HOT Watch
can also tell the time and offer other normal
timepiece features, along with several
different watch faces. It measures just
1.3×1.7×0.3 inch, is equipped with a special
display with anti-reflective glass and is
powered by two processors: a Cortex M3 for
most basic functions and a DSP for Bluetooth,
calls, audio systems.
The HOT smartwatch is currently on
Kickstarter, where backers can get one by
pledging upwards of $119. The campaign has
raised almost three times its goal of $150,000
and still has 20 days left. The watch is
expected to start shipping in December.
