We believe that "earables" is the next significant milestone in wearable computing. With sensing, signal processing, and communications converging into these devices, we envision a host of new possibilities within the next 5 years. The leap from today’s ear-phones to "earables" would mimmic the transformation from basic-phones to smart phones. Today’s smartphones are hardly a calling device anymore, much like how tomorrow’s earables will hardly be a wireless speaker or microphone (see our vision slides here).
