Smart glasses are the new big kid on the block when it comes to technology, but these smart headphones can be a viable option as well. These headphones connect to the user's smartphone and its built-in GPS, allowing for 3D sounds that give out directions to the users in real time.
Many modern cars come with GPS, but what if one could have a GPS as they roam the streets on feet? These smart headphones by GN don't look anything like a smart device but they can be used like one in a variety of ways. The first way is the GPS, but they can also be used in other unique ways.
There are games that use the immersive 3D audio interface to create real world games, like zombie attacks, amongst others.
