Samsung Gets Wacky With A Belt Called WELT And Other Oddities
There’s WELT, perfectly normal-looking belt that helps people manage their waist size by recording waist measurements and recording movement, sending data collected to an app for analysis. All wild speculation at this point of course, and we’d love to hear your thoughts and theories in the comments section.

Samsung has announced that, as part of its CES2016 presence, it will be demonstrating three previously unseen tech products from its Creative Lab (the Samsung C-Lab). C-Lab is a breeding ground for startups, allowing its employees to take upwards of a year off from their usual duties at Samsung to hatch new product ideas that could possibly foster new innovative products, which could possibly be spun off into their own thriving companies. In the same spirit, Samsung has unveiled three products that will be on the showroom floor at CES 2016 next week. This is quite an innovative approach by Samsung Creative Labs and CES 2016 will throw more light on it in the days to follow. Meanwhile, rink is a hand-motion controller for mobile VR devices which lets users have more fun when wearing a virtual reality headset, and maybe even entice more people to get in on the VR craze. Samsung’s Rink motion controller is created to work with the company’s Gear VR headset and seems to operate very similarly to the PlayStation Move or WiiMote controller, allowing users to swing a tennis racquet or baseball bat in sports video games. Integrated into a watchstrap of the smart or traditional variety, when the phone rings, sticking a finger in your ear will be the same as actually holding the device to the face in order to listen or speak.
Gizmodo reported that, Samsung just revealed the first class of gadgets to emerge from its Creative Lab projects.
Shaped like a watch strap, “TipTalk” can be added to watches – analog or smart – and sync with smartphones, enabling Text-to-Speech (TTS) functionality.
How far these three products go remains to be seen and will likely depend heavily on how they’re accepted by peers and the media at CES.

One of the more intriguing products is TipTalk, which gives consumers a completely new way of interacting with their mobile devices and has already launched as an independent company.
