With a simple twist, The O.R.B. transforms from a ring to a headset worn
on the ear that is capable of hands-free calling. Incorporating HiWave™
technology, the O.R.B. is a “Digitset™” that provides high-quality bone
conduction audio without the discomfort of placing a device inside the
ear. A deluxe edition also features an E Ink display for caller ID, text
messaging, and calendar reminders.
To use the ring as a headset, simply remove it from the finger and twist open around the hinged joint. The ring (now a headset) is placed over the upper ear, between the ear and the side of the head. The transmitter end of the headset rests just above the jawbone and utilizes dual speaker “voice annihilation” DSP technology. The transmit exciter transducer rests just behind the outer ear.
The ring vibrates, alerting the user to an incoming call, text message, or event reminder. The user can glance down at the finger and see a horizontal streaming message of caller I.D. or meeting schedules. If accepting an incoming call, the user twists open the O.R.B., slips over the ear, and begins the conversation. If declining incoming calls or texts, or dismissing event reminders, the user can simply push the cancel button with the O.R.B. still idle on their finger. When not in use the ring serves as a time device/alarm clock. If the user would like to silence a call he/she can simply touch a button on the band.
