TOKYO, September 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bifrostec Inc. has developed a monitoring technology for a comfortable life by vibrations through collaboration with The KAITEKI Institute, Inc. It is sensors technology to measure vital signals of people while they are conducting their normal lives without attracting anyone's attention. It is also based on research and development to find methods for timely detection of early signs of illness and/or changes in physical conditions, so that everyone can lead pleasant and comfortable lives.

"OkiDoki" is a palm-sized "Location Free Speaker" incorporating Bluetooth receiver, where the sound from TV will emanate as soon as the unit is placed on a table located far away from the TV. It is proven to be the most effective in lecture halls, conference rooms, assembly halls, as well as in various recreational facilities.
"D'Egg" is a small, high performance speaker system that shapes just like an egg. Experienced speaker master developed the system from the ground up by being particular about the shape, unit, and materials, with an aim to achieve an ideal speaker system. As a result, three-dimensional holographic sound stage will appear in front of the listener, which is quite unexpected from speakers of this size.
