Tanja Shultz was once riding on a train, and there was a man sitting next to him who was blabbing his mouth off. I’ve ignored situations like this, but he wanted to do something about it.

So he worked with other researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in order to find a system that can convert mouth motions into synthesized speech. In other words, you can carry on cellular phone conversations in public without anyone hearing you, unless people can read lips.

As you can see in the picture, it takes quite a few wires to get it to work now. This method of electromyography is designed to detect facial movements while chatting, and these pulse are transmitted to a device to record and amplify them, then sending them along to a laptop via Bluetooth.

Well, we shall see if this technology improves, and then we’ll all be talking and not talking at the same time.
