On February 14, Canon Marketing Japan Co., Ltd. launched the wearable noise-canceling device "Privacy Talk", model MD-100-GY, which is similar to a mask in appearance, including headphones, microphones and fans, which can not only reduce the voice of the wearer's speech, but also use the fan to keep the device ventilated and improve user comfort, so as to facilitate users to achieve comfortable online private conversations in various places.
The "Privacy Talk" mask allows users to create a private space in any open environment when they need to have a private online conversation, without having to look for a quiet place to stay. The device is made of special acoustic materials and designed with a special sound guidance structure that allows the sound to be absorbed before passing through the mask, and the built-in microphone prevents loud ambient sounds from interfering with conversation. According to the official publicity, the voice of the user can be reduced by 20 decibels after wearing the "Privacy Talk" mask, which effectively prevents others from hearing the conversation.
The built-in fan of the "Privacy Talk" mask helps to keep the wearer's face refreshed, and the internal displacement fan promotes air circulation inside the mask, avoiding moisture accumulation and making it comfortable to wear. The "Privacy Talk" mask is also relatively easy to use, just press and hold the power button for three seconds, connect to a communication device via Bluetooth, and the maximum battery life of the device is 3 hours when the fan is turned on, and it takes 1.5 hours to charge. In terms of weight dimensions, the "Privacy Talk" mask weighs 106 grams and measures 66x104x69mm.
According to official information, the "Privacy Talk" mask is scheduled to be launched in late April 2024, and developers are still testing the device and tweaking the product in various open environments.
