In the future, you may not need a protective case to use your phone in the pool. Go ahead, toss it in--the HzO nano technology will protect it from the H20.HzO demonstrated its technology that waterproofs electronic devices at a press preview for the "Consumer Electronics Show" in New York on Nov. 8.
HzO President and CEO Paul S. Clayson used a Samsung Galaxy S2 handset outfitted with the company's WaterBlock technology to show how the phone could maintain function while being submerged underwater. "It is a very exciting technology that we feel will be able to change the durability and life-time value of your smartphone as well as other mobile electronic devices as these units tend to fail quickly with moderate exposure to water and/or moisture," said HzO Head of Business Development Scott Gordon.
The below video shows how HzO works:
He explained that HzO's "nano-scale film barrier" bonds so tightly to the interior and exterior of a smartphone or other electronic device that the units are completely protected from water. As he dunked a working Samsung Galaxy S smartphone protected HzO technology into the bowl of water, the unit continued functioning even as it filled with water. He even placed a call to the phone, which rang normally. He said the vapor-coating technology also works on other materials like paper, which he showed off by dropping a protected business card into the water.
The HzO technology will be included in upcoming products from Zagg, which markets its own "skins" and other protective gear. Zagg has announced that it will be offering limited-edition "WaterBlocked" versions of the iPod touch, iPod shuffle and iPod nano with the HzO sealing technology inside.
