Mobile World Cat

Yes you are indeed reading the phrase right- the lip reading mobile phones is a technology that an institute in Germany has recently developed (KIT institute of Anthropomatics). The technology that they have worked on and thus developed this one of a kind mobile phone is the electromyography that utilizes facial and muscle movements to transfer them into electronic pulses; and the best part is that these electronic pulses can then be transformed into sound at the other end of the phone so that a normal phone call conversation can be observed.

The area where this kind of a phone will be most useful is for the users who need to make secure conversations on the mobile phone. This means that a silent conversation can be held so no matter how crowded or noisy the surrounding environment is so that information can be passed on without the need of disclosing it in front of everybody around. Other situations where this kind of a lip reading mobile phone will come in very handy is where a voice call would otherwise cause a lot of disturbance to the environment such as in a theater or cinema hall or in a conference etc. In fact this technology has been developed and advanced to such an extent that multilingual conversations can actually be held and the electrical pulses can be transformed into many languages of choice. However a similar attempt had been made actually in Japan way back in 2002, however this was not wholly successful.
