"Automatic and Hands Free Volume Control for Your Smartphone"
Novo is an innovative audio accessory that adjusts your headphone volume
based on the ambient noise around you to create optimal listening experiences. You don’t need
to touch the volume button on your phone. Novo will be your personal volume assistant, adapting the volume for you automatically. With Novo, no more volume
issues.
Novo clips
to your clothing and then monitors your surroundings. It adapts your audio
in real-time by either boosting or reducing the volume to give you the best
listening experience so that you can hear what you need to hear, when you need to hear
it,
without needing to touch your phone.

In “boost
mode,” Novo will increase your call volume when
noises interfere so you can hear the person you are talking with loud and
clear. For example, if you are outside on a phone call and passing traffic makes it difficult to understand the person on the call, Novo will boost your volume to make it easier to hear.

In “reduce mode,” you can enjoy
listening to your favorite music in the office and if a workmate needs your attention
and calls your name, Novo will
“reduce” the volume of your music in real-time so you can hear the person trying
to talk with you.
This mode is especially helpful when you are outside being active and
need to be aware of your surroundings to keep alert and safe.
