Hands and Eye Free email While Driving

Reading e-mail is made easier with the introduction of iLane, developed by Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. The device enables drivers to check e-mails without taking their eyes off the road.

iLane provides drivers with a safe and convenient voice-based interface to fully access their email messages while in transit. iLane automatically notifies the driver of incoming emails and other important information by reading a brief summary in a natural sounding voice, in the driver's language of choice. The driver can then listen to the entire email message; forward or compose a response; and manage meeting requests using verbal instructions. Phone calls, SMS messages, and a number of email attachment types can also be managed using this intelligent hands-free and eyes-free interface.

ILane consists of a powerful and small device that interacts directly with existing Bluetooth-enabled handheld devices and vehicle audio systems or headsets to read messages out loud and to listen to driver instructions. The presence of the driver is automatically detected by iLane, which then assumes control to intelligently capture and manage inbound information as soon as it arrives on the driver's wireless email device.

Instead of a marginally useful ring or vibration, iLane provides drivers with voice notification, including essential information about the incoming email or phone call.
