Hum On! The first, Hum On!, is musically inclined. Described as a “mobile app designed to help people make their own music [by] humming,” it takes the form of a simple, gradient interface with a round microphone icon. Pressing the button begins a session, during which the tempo and recording duration’s displayed as notes are transcribed in real time. The resulting sheet music can be supplemented with instrumental accompaniments or edited in pitch, point, or duration.

Waffle The second, Waffle, is a social network with an emphasis on creativity. You can draw, doodle, or post “other visual content” on friend’s walls, or alternatively start “stories” — grid-like layouts of artwork, pictures, selfies, and other creations to which friends can contribute over time. Waffle supports social network staples like hashtags and comments, too. And unlike Samsung’s other C-Lab projects, it’s available now: The company’s launched a beta on Android devices.

LiCON LiCON, in contrast, aims to simplify networks of a more physical nature: smart homes. Using your smartphone’s camera, it can “recognize and control” Internet of Things devices from “toys” to “bottles and appliances” — take a picture of a smart TV, for instance, andLiCON will surface the appropriate volume and channel controls. It’s unclear what work’s required on the part of manufacturers to enable support, but the idea’s a potential game change: Often the most challenging part of setting up smart devices is figuring out how to control them all.

ItsyWatch C-Lab’s new projects aren’t strictly relegated to the realm of software. The ItsyWatch, a kid-friendly smartwatch, aims to imbued “good habits” in kids by giving them the opportunity to care for virtual pets. Much like the Tamagachi keychains of yesteryear, ItsyWatch’s digital companions require regular care and attention in order to thrive, and reward adherence to healthy habits like exercise and tooth brushing with virtual gifts. “[It’s] designed to relieve parental stress and strengthen the emotional bond among family members,” Samsung said.
