Future: MP3 Player in Swimming Goggles
Jun 25 2003, 9:58am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Sam James, Student at Brunel University creates Swim Goggles with built-in MP3 Player.
Sam James in an article on BBC News:
"I got quite bored just swimming up and down."
The mp3 player is integrated into swimming goggles and uses bone conduction to vibrate music direct to the skull.
The sound quality is actually better than in a normal environment because there is no background noise.
Research firm Newland Scientific has shown an interest in developing the gadget commercially.
