Samsung C-Lab unveils speakers, smart glasses and breathing device; will be showcased at CES 2018

Samsung announced the C-Lab (Creative Lab) half a decade back to come up with innovative tech products. Now, the company has come up with three new projects those will be unveiled at the upcoming CES 2018 tech show.

Samsung has announced three new projects - S Ray (Sound-Ray) comprising of three-directional speakers, GoBreath, a breathing exercise application and Relúmĭno that is a project based on smart glasses. The company has also announced that these will be launched at the CES 2018 show floor. In addition to these, seven other startups from Samsung C-Lab will also showcase their products at the tech show.

S-Ray comprises of three new portable speakers - a Mini speaker, a Neck Bend speaker and a Handy speaker. These speakers have been designed to let users carry them wherever they go without the necessity of using a pair of earphones. Of the trio, the Neck Bend speaker is the most interesting one. The reason is that it flaunts an unusual design and appears to offer a practical user experience for the commuters.

GoBreath is a breathing exercise app that has been unveiled by the Samsung C-Lab. As its name suggests, this one appears to focus on healthcare. A doctor at the Samsung Medical Center has been the mastermind behind developing this application. It helps take the lung patients through deep breathing experience so that they recover better. It consists of a handheld device and an app so that the lung patients can learn deep breathing and keep a track of their progress too. The GoBreath project provides cloud service for the patients to track the progress in their health.

Relúmĭno smart glasses is meant to help the visually challenged people see images clearly when they read or view objects. This was initially showcased at the MWC 2017. This project uses technology to offer smart visual aid solutions that will let people get an enhanced visual experience. The images captured through these glasses are then processed by a smartphone to give a better view to the users.

Regarding these projects developed at the C-Lab, Jaiil Lee, Vice President and Head of the Creativity & Innovation Center at Samsung Electronics states, "Since launching five years ago, our C-Lab program has gained exciting momentum across Samsung, helping foster an innovation culture, and providing avenue for our creative, talented employees to pursue innovative new projects. We will continuously introduce innovative projects through our C-Lab program."
