The SGNL Smart Strap

Although still not yet widely available and or in use The Sgnl Smart Strap is a new smart cell phone watch band which allows people to take hands free phone calls with nothing other than their smart watch and their own hand . The Strap has been designed to help people make calls with just their fingertip placed onto their ear . Sgnl actually allows people to keep their phone in their pocket and when they have an incoming call that they are alerted with their smart watch , they can simply take the call by placing their finger onto their ear . The Sgnl watch band will receive the voice signal from their phone ’ s Bluetooth , and will generate a vibration through its Body Conduction Unit which transmits the vibration through the hand to your fingertip . When you place your fingertip to your ear , the vibration echoes create amplified sound within the closed space of your ear , resulting in clear sound . At this point it is claimed that the product operates entirely through the power of simple vibration and thus there is no risk of harm to the human body . The strap can pair with smart watches that pair with iOS 8 or higher or with Android software 4.4 or higher .

In 2006 , she travelled to Hollywood , California to represent Trinidad & Tobago in the acting and petite modelling categories at the World Championships of Performing Arts ( WCOPA ), where she won the Gold Medal for the Petite Modelling Swimsuit Category . Her creative and well delivered monologue enabled her to receive call backs and go sees from MTV and the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts School of Film and Television ( NYCDA ) for the opportunity to audition for a scholarship . In 2009 , Taromi made the bold move to attend the intensive Summer Programme at NYCDA , where she was privileged and humbled by being under the tutelage of actresses Judith Searcy and Becky London , who both have reoccurring roles on NBC ’ s hit TV drama “ Law and Order ”. On returning to Trinidad in 2009 , she continued to pursue her passion and got roles in film , TV , theatre and worked with many other talented directors , producers and actors . Talent Inc , an official selection of TT Film Festival 2017 , is her film directorial debut . She already has other projects already lined up in Trinidad and abroad for 2018 .
