Just as 2018 is about to close, Samsung's Creative Lab, or commonly known as C-Lab, introduces eight innovations, including an ASMR recorder, ahead of the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
C-Lab first went live in 2012 and since then became a hot pot for useful and some eyebrow-raising tech. Samsung recently announced eight of the newest innovations, which will be unveiled next month in Las Vegas at the Eureka Park of the CES event.
Samsung C-Lab's Largest Number Of Release
Samsung's vice president and head of Creativity and Innovation Center Inkuk Hahn said the release will be the largest number of projects in a single drop at the show since 2016. Most of the projects can be used in daily routines.
"We will present promising C-Lab projects leveraging AI technologies in the field of video content creation, perfume making and more," he said.
ASMR Recording Gadget
The first on the batch is aiMo, which comes in the form of a phone case with an ear on both sides that copy human ears down to the last detail, and is probably the biggest nod to the 2018 bizarre trend of autonomous sensory meridian response or ASMR. Interestingly, this type of video relaxes people after listening to the tingling, natural sound of mundane things people do.
The ears of the aiMo will be used to capture more realistic sound and vows better "spatial directivity" with the AI. This will make ASMR recording easier anywhere and anytime.
Other C-Lab Tech
Other experiments are Tisplay, described as an "in-video virtual ad service," which is suitable for video creators who can use the tool to put ads on T-shirts and other clothes. The Medeo is also targeted at those making clips as it can add effects while still recording, rendering lesser time for editing.
AI-controlled Prismit, meanwhile, is used to find top articles from a certain keyword, while the Perfume Blender, as the name suggests, is an app where users can make their own blend of fragrance, which Samsung says can be made through a "compatible device."
SnailSound is a hearing assistant in an app that is used to adjust an earpiece for better listening experience. Girin, a sensor-based monitor, aims to help those with problems in posture, while Alight is a desk lamp that adjusts the light depending on the activity.
