First look: LifeBEAM's artificially intelligent headphones offer a "Her" workout

#artificialintelligence

Wearable technology company LifeBEAM has powered products for the Israeli air force and brands like Under Armour and Samsung. What does that mean, exactly? Co-founder Omri Yoffe says the new "hearables," as he refers to these types of headphones, come with the ability to self-learn as you workout. Sony came out with a 300 "artificially intelligent" set of headphones in 2010, the Sony MDR-NC300D Digital Noise Canceling Earbuds, but the difference with LifeBEAMS buds, called Vi, is they have built-in software that adapts to your body using biometrics such as temperature, heart rate and other data measured through inner ear motion. Vi also includes a workout coach and music to match your pace.
