Golden-I Headset

The Golden-I headset is a headset jointly developed between Kopin and Motorola. Using modern advances in technology, the Golden-I headset is due to be released in 2010, but no retail price has been set to date.

The features and functions of the Golden-I headset are:

1. The headset is very lightweight
2. Full wireless functionality
3. Full Bluetooth technology integration
4. Virtual 15" Diagonal screen in 24 bit full color
5. Can be controlled by Natural speech recognition, keyboard or wireless mouse
6. Zoom in or out, pan or scroll functionality
7. Pairs up with cell phones, PC's, handhelds, etc

To control the connected device hands-free, Kopin is incorporating the VoCon3200 software from Burlington-based Nuance Communications Inc. Golden-i also uses Nuance’s text-to-speech application to read back documents, e-mail messages, web content or any text on the display screen. According to Kopin officials, it supports up to 20 languages.

If no interface peripheral such as a Bluetooth mouse is available, Golden-i can use its built-in Hillcrest Labs 6-axis, real-time position tracker to allow control of the connected device using head gestures. http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2009/05/11/daily9-Kopin-Motorola-create-Golden-i-headset-for-remote-control.html?action=emailfriendform

Running the 32-bit native, componentized, hard real-time Microsoft Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 R2 operating system, Golden-i is capable of remotely waking a PC from practically any location. After Golden-i establishes a Bluetooth, WiFi or cellular link through a host device, users will see their PC desktop screen on a 15-inch virtual display, offering full hands-free access to all PC applications, data files and services. When work is finished, the PC can be placed in hibernation with a single spoken command. With Golden-i, users will no longer need to carry a PC or laptop everywhere they go. http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/10381/568329.html

If no interface peripheral such as a Bluetooth mouse is available, Golden-i can use its built-in Hillcrest Labs 6-axis, real-time position tracker to allow control of the connected device using head gestures. The device also provides a mini-USB port, and a removable Micro SD card slot that can support up to 32GB of memory.

The target market for Golden-i, according to Kopin, is remote workers looking to quickly connect to a PC or network for information, such as outside sales staff. http://3g4g.blogspot.com/2009/05/golden-i-futuristic-bluetooth-headset.html
