From VR headsets to hand-tracking technologies, there are all sorts of tech innovations debuting at CES 2023 to support the future of virtual reality and the metaverse—and Mutalk is a standout. The muzzle-like device is actually a Bluetooth microphone built for the metaverse and it's designed to keeps the user’s voice from being heard outside of the virtual reality that they are occupying.
Just like a pair of headphones that helps a person keep their listening experience to themselves, Mutalk by Shiftall keeps communications in the metaverse private. This voice suppression microphone fits over the user's mouth so that the internal microphone can amplify the user's voice and transmit it to a gaming console, PC or a different connected device.
