On: Wearable Microphone Jamming

[wadkar]

How will this impact calls? If somebody is wearing this in a public space then any callers in surrounding area will have problems, no?

It would be interesting to evaluate this device’s impact on telephonic conversation!

I hope there is a switch to turn the device on/off. Otherwise you won’t be able to talk on the phone :-)

It's already been tried!

"During a phone interview, Mr. Lopes turned on the bracelet, resulting in static-like white noise for the listener on the other end."
