Perhaps the most futuristic of the three wearables is the TipTalk, a device that allows users to listen to audio from their smart devices just by touching their fingers to their ears. ― AFP pixSAN FRANCISCO, Dec 31 ― For the first time ever, Samsung will be offering visitors to the 2016 International CES a sneak peek at some of the next-generation projects it’s working on at its usually top-secret Creative Lab. Given the fact that many Gear VR games feel like they should feature some sort of motion control technology, it makes sense that Samsung is working on a dedicated motion-based gamepad.

With mobile VR devices seemingly poised to burst into the mainstream sooner rather than later, it’s no surprise that the folks over at Samsung’s C-Lab came up with a hand-motion controller for VR devices.
TIP TALK: “TipTalk is a remarkable new UX that enables people to listen to the sound from their smart devices, such as the Samsung Gear S2, without headsets or earphones, simply by touching their finger to their ear.
