Google’s Star Trek-like communicator device


Google’s Star Trek-like communicator device
Google’s prototype circular device  connects to a smart phone through Bluetooth. The concept was intended to test out how users might interact with voice search in new ways. Worn on the chest, the Google pin is activated with a light tap.

The prototype might output sound through an onboard speaker or by connecting to headphones.
The device hasn’t left the testing phase but illustrates how far Google is willing to go to chart the future of search.
