Sgnl - Make Phone Calls with Your Fingertip by Innomdle Lab - Kickstarter


A man listening something with something rolled around his / her wrist.


Many people can not hide the expression of surprise in the clearness of the sound quality.



What they used was Smart Strap 'Sgnl'. It is difficult to imagine what kind of device it is simply by listening that you can talk with your finger.


Sgnl can be wound on an arm by itself, but it can be replaced with a watch or a strap part of a smart watch.


It's easy to use, first connect with smartphone and Sgnl via Bluetooth pairing.


Then, Sgnl vibrates briefly when a call is received on the smartphone and informs us of the call.


To answer the phone tap the silver button attached to Sgnl.



And it is ok if you hit the fingers of the arm wrapping Sgnl against the ear hole.


Sgnl has a device called a BCU (Body Conduction Unit) that converts calls received by smartphones into vibration and makes the call contents heard from the fingertips. Since the vibration to be converted is of low output, there is no harm to the human body, and if you plug a hole in your ear with a finger, the vibration will amplify in your ear and you will hear clear sound.


Even if you get a phone call when there are lots of people around you ......


There is no sound leak if Sgnl so you do not have to worry about listening to the call details around you.


Also, even if you call in a noisy place you can hear clear sound.


Sgnl can be used as a strap of an ordinary watch ... ...

Also, using a dedicated application ... ...


It can also be linked with e-mails, calendar applications, etc.


What will happen if you link with other applications, for example by linking with a reminder application or a calendar application, like a smart watch, it will make the schedule transmit by vibration as a smart watch. Since Sgnl vibrates with a perfect fit to your wrist, you will not miss any important business.


It can also be used as an activity meter.


Since it is wearing it without being separated, it seems to accurately measure the amount of activity of the day.
