- This talk will make the case that “earables” could be the next milestone in mobile computing after smartphones. With numerous sensors, processors, and radios getting embedded into modern earphones, we envision a new eco-system around the ear. Earables will run voice assistants like Alexa; will sense human motion and gestures; will track health metrics through the ear; and will open new forms of AR/VR interactions through spatial 3D acoustics. The leap from today’s ear-phones to “earables” could mimic the transformation from basic-phones to smart phones. This talk will attempt to foresee the road ahead, with a focus on some of the research questions in the short and long term.
