Bragi has announced an upcoming software update that will let users control their wireless Bragi Dash earphones without touching them.

Bragi OS 2.2 is set for release on November 21st and includes several significant updates. Most notable is the introduction of KUI, Bragi's Kinetic User Interface. This allows users to control their device without touching it. For example, you can accept calls by nodding up and down, activate Siri or Google Now with the tap of a cheek, and change the song by touching one's face. Bragi is calling this 'MyTap'.



“The Bragi Kinetic User Interface (KUI) is a technology that turns your body and movements into the interface for operating Bragi products. For example, answering a phone call by nodding your head, or tapping your cheek to access the smartphone voice assistant,” says Bragi Founder Nikolaj Hviid

“The Dash was envisioned as a platform offering a lot of hardware capabilities, but not all of this hardware was used from the beginning. Over time, we can let the software grow and enable more features,” notes David Dohmen, Sensorics & Data Science at Bragi
