  • Babble in Secret: Sonare Technologies, a newly formed Herman Miller company, introduced "Babble" at NeoCon in Chicago. About the size of a clock radio, Babble is a voice privacy device that makes it possible for people to have confidential telephone conversations at work in a voice that is indecipherable. Babble works by multiplying the user's voice and sending out a randomized voice stream with the user's natural voice, the combination of those voices making it "impossible" to decipher. Mark Dziersk, FIDSA, senior vice president of design with Herbst Lazar Bell is interviewed. To read more, visit http://www.projo.com/home/content/projo_20050626_babble.1ebe6c9.html.
