People who don't want to disturb sleeping family members could use a new
product from Panasonic that doesn't need speakers or even your own
ears wireless bone-conduction headphones.
The headphones connect to a
TV via the Bluetooth wireless standard and attach to your head like a
normal set of headphones. But instead of using your ears, the headphones
work like hearing aids by transmitting sound waves through your skull.
They
are one of several innovations Panasonic unveiled at the International
CES show in Las Vegas. It also showed off a new user interface for its
"Smart Viera" TVs, featuring a TV-mounted camera that recognizes the
user and sets viewing preferences accordingly.
The Japanese electronics maker also showed off an easy way to send YouTube videos from smartphones to the TV.
