Remember the Clapper? The power outlet adapter you could turn on and off with a clap of your hands felt incredibly futuristic when release in the 1980s. Of course now you can do so much more with a few words. There’s something so satisfying about turning on products with your voice — it makes us feel powerful, but more than that, it’s really convenient. Would you rather fumble around for a switch, or just hit the lights with a single phrase?
Personally, I’d take the latter any day, especially after tripping over things and stubbing my toe in the dark more times than I’d like to admit. This is where the Vocca comes in. This voice-activated bulb adapter quickly turns any one of your light sockets into a bulb of the future.
The device comes fully assembled and lets you screw in any regular bulb before placing it back into the socket with the adapter. Once you’re all set up, you can turn your lights on from up to 15 feet away by simply saying “Go Vocca Light” out loud at a normal volume.
If you still want to use your switches, that’s fine too. Another nice feature of the adapter is the fact that all the processing is completed on the device, so you don’t need to worry about your voice clips being stored in the cloud or anywhere for that matter.
Interested in more creative ways to control your gear? You can do it simply by whistling with the The Whistled, a whistle detection device.
