It is clear that sometimes it is difficult to interpret the crying of the baby, especially if you are a first-time father: then we get to know our children better ... and still there will be times that surprise us with "inexplicable" cries. But I am surprised that "translators" of baby cries, such as Babble devices, continue to appear.
This is a newly presented novelty that consists of a communication system for baby care, consisting of three pieces: a device that is placed in the crib, a wrist bracelet and an application for smartphones. The three are linked by bluetooth and communicate with each other.
The system, which has been developed in South Korea, is designed so that the cradle device picks up the baby's cry and is illuminated with different colors, depending on the meaning of the baby or the intensity. This information is transferred to the mobile application.
From our phone we can send the music that we have stored to the device for the baby to listen to in the crib, and we can also send our own recorded voice, as did the "Baby shusher", an "automatic whisper" for the baby.
In the phone you can also check a history of the types of cries or at what time they have been registered, and the cradle device reports the temperature and humidity in the room.
To complete the engineering we need the smart bracelet that vibrates and has a set of three lights (nothing discreet, by the way). The vibration is activated whenever the child cries and the lights illuminate depending on the meaning of the crying, so that parents can know if it is wet, if they are hungry, if they are tired or cold (we do not know if for something else, but It is certainly not that simple).
Is it so difficult to put it on the chest or check the diaper? Are we so far away that we cannot whisper to them, sing to them, take them in their arms and reassure them? We may not "get it right" at first to calm the baby's crying, but this is not going to change for many little pots they invent ...
The Babble who interprets the baby's cry It is planned to be sold at the end of the year in South Korea and later in the rest of the world, although online orders will be served. In this video you can see the images of the invention.
We have seen previously that applications such as the Cry Translator or Why Cry have been invented, and in our desire for technology and simplification we want to have everything controlled with devices.
But let us be disappointed, neither these pots to translate the baby's crying are perfect (I doubt they are even somewhat reliable) nor will they avoid having to do the relevant "tests" for the baby to stop crying. Even so, I'm sure we'll keep talking about devices to translate the baby's cry…
