Questions like "Pardon, what did you just say?" might never be heard again if US start-up Kapture gets its way. Kapture's device is basically an armband with a waterproof microphone which records the last minute's worth of conversations and surrounding sounds, reports German magazine Technology Review.
The armband is constantly overplaying what has been recorded. But if touched, the last minute's worth of sounds is sent to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. So instead of saying "pardon," you ask Kapture. It's also possible to store up to 25 clips directly in the armband. Using this feature, people can save interesting conversations or set acoustic reminders.
A built-in motion sensor also allows Kapture to work as a fitness tracker. One battery charge should last for about 24 hours. The device is set to go on sale in 2014 for about 150 dollars.
