Strange device, which you see a little higher in the photo, - this is not something from the category of BDSM-toys. This unusual gadget is designed to make the lives of people around you a little more comfortable. The device is called Hushme (the word "hush" can be translated from English into Russian as "shhh!") And, based on its name, you can understand that it minimizes the sound of your voice. In fact, we have a wireless headset that allows you to communicate by phone or by voice chat, without irritating others.
Especially relevant is the similar theme in companies where people have to work literally shoulder to shoulder inside a huge office, broken into tiny cells. People have different voices: someone higher, someone lower, someone speaks loudly, and someone not very, but in general, this rumble can hardly be called a pleasant background for fruitful work. It is for this Hushme headset is designed. Insert in-ear intra-channel headphones, put the headset on yourself, and those around you practically do not notice (some of the vibrations of the vocal cords, of course, will be audible through the throat, but there's nothing to be done about it).
But on this the developers decided not to stop and equipped the headset with several external speakers. Wait, - you will say - we are now talking about the silence inside the office? That's right. But if you suddenly want to amuse friends, you can set up Hushme so that it converts your voice into the sounds of the R2-D2 robot from Star Wars or Darth Vader's heavy breathing. And you can just cut through the continuous sounds of a tropical rain or a light breeze, thereby setting the people around in a calm and peaceful way. The invention so far exists only in the form of a prototype, and soon its creators are planning to launch a crowd-funding campaign to raise funds for the project. The estimated cost of the headset is $ 200.
