Google experimented with a Star Trek-style Communicator badge

Did you ever watch Picard’s Star Trek and hope that someday, we too might communicate with just the touch of a lapel-worn gadget? No, we didn’t really, either — Bluetooth headsets quickly poured water on that fire. But, Amit Singhal, senior vice president and software engineer at Google did, and the company even made a prototype. In a report in Time, Singhal describes the never-before-known wearable as a simple Bluetooth device controlled by touch, just like on the show. Once activated, your voice command would be passed to your handset, with feedback delivered by either a small speaker, or headphones.
