Hearables
Hearables or Smart headphones are technically advanced, electronic in-ear-devices designed for multiple purposes ranging from wireless transmission to communication objectives, medical monitoring and fitness tracking. Hearables are therefore a manifestation of the concept of ubiquitous computing and can as such also be utilized as means for providing augmented reality applications.
== Terminology ==
The neologismn "hearable" is a hybrid of the terms wearable and headphone, as hearables combine major assets of wearable technology with the basic principle of audio-based information services, conventional rendition of music and wireless telecommunication. The term was introduced in April 2014 simultaneously by Apple in the context of the company's acquisition of Beats Electronics and product designer and wireless application specialist Nick Hunn in a blogpost for a wearable technologies internet platform.〔Nick Hunn: ("Hearables – The new Wearables" ), Wearable Technologies online (April 4, 2014)〕
Hearables are often referenced as a subset of wearables. Sometimes the terms "smart headphones" or "smart advisors" are also used to denominate hearables. It is also noteworthy that the term "hearable" is occasionally used with a stronger focus on the primary communication pattern rather than its physical implementation. In this sense news agency Reuters in its "Journalism media and technology predicitions 2015" ranked voice driven virtual assistants in general as an important field of innovation, including voice recognition software like Apple's Siri or Amazon's Echo.〔Nic Newman: ("Journalism media and technology predicitions 2015" ), Reuters Institute online (January 12, 2015)〕
