Originally designed for smartphone users who are hard of hearing, Kyocera showed off their new “bone conduction” technology at CTIA and it could make a traditional speaker earpiece obsolete. This new tech was shown off in a Kyocera demo unit and essentially uses a vibrating display to rattle the skin and bones of its user, creating perceived audible sound waves. This new tech is especially useful when a user is in a noisy environment, like a concert or event, where a regular earpiece just wouldn't cut it.
