| Star Trek lapel communicator becomes a reality |
| 2004-04-17 |
| If you have ever wanted to emulate Star Trek and talk to colleagues via a lapel communicator, then now is your chance. US firm Vocera has created a wireless voice communicator just like they use in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Similar to the TV series, all you do to contact someone is press the talk button on the lapel badge, say their name, and you will be put through. The gadget is proving popular in hospitals to make it easier for nurses to find and get advice from doctors. |
