Islesford Circuits

About our projects


We don't just fix and design things -- we invent them too! Following are some of the projects, classed into two categories: Projects currently under development, and concepts we intend to start developing soon.

Development Phase:


Headphones:
Wireless over the ear headphones with advanced active noise cancellation and high fidelity sound.  They are being designed to be attachable to the inside of hats, headbands, helmets, etc. for exceptional flexibility and comfort.	

Portable computing platform:
A tablet sized computer with touch screen with added thickness to allow for ports and customize-able options.  It can run both Android and Linux.  It can be a phone and tablet when you’re on the go and a mini-PC or media center when connected to a monitor or TV at home or the office.
