Bracelet of Silence
Protecting users against the potential misuse of microphones in the age of voice-based smart devices
Despite the initial excitement around voice-based smart devices, consumers are becoming increasingly nervous with the fact that these interactive devices are, by default, always listening, recording, and possibly saving sensitive personal information. Therefore, it is critical to build tools that protect users against the potential compromise or misuse of microphones in the age of voice-based smart devices.
The Bracelet of Silence, created by a team from the University of Chicago can be worn and simultaneously disables microphones in its user’s surroundings, including hidden microphones, thereby enhancing and protecting individual privacy in the digital age.
