APPLICATIONS

Blind Assistance

The blind guide scans the environment via cameras and/or LiDAR sensors. This enables real-time face recognition, obstacle/obejct detection and automatic text-to-speech reading. The use cases include:

  • alert for the presence of a detected obstacle while walking

  • search and detection of an object of interest identified by its type (e.g. keys)

  • face recognition of pre-defined individuals for greeting or conversation

  • automatic text-to-speech reading by camera (e.g. reading details or price of items in store)


Hearing Assistance

Selective Hearing augments our hearing by separating the sound of nearby talker(s) from the remaining noise in a noisy environment, in real-time. It also provides a mixture control over the loudness of the target(s) and noise. Watch the demo videos here.

The talker(s) of interest are selected by pointing finger towards the faces of interest as observed by the user or via touchpad slider on the glasses. Suitable for anyone with normal or impaired hearing involved in a 1-to-1 or group conversation in a noisy environment.


Real-time Translation

Real-time translation enables conversation or reading in any foreign language. You can talk with a foreigner or read a book or sign in a foreign language. Suitable for tourists and citizens of a touristic city.

The translation from speech or text can be either played back as speech via open-ear speakers or displayed as text on the user’s phone or smart watch. This can also be used to turn a paper-book into an audio-book or to hear back a melody by looking at the music sheet.


POV Filming

Point-of-View (POV) imaging enables photography or filming an experience as observed by the user. This enables life-like sharing of the moments and feeling.

Suitable for training, entertainment, social media, blogging, remote operation, mobile supervision, research, safety, security and surveillance.


Scene-aware AI-assistant

Scene-awareness in joint with AI-assistant enable object detection and hands-free search for the info of an observed item of interest.

This has various applications such as:

  • Searching the details of a clothing someone’s wearing without asking them

  • Searching and listening to the details of a touristic/historic landmark as observed

  • Face recognition in the crowd (e.g. for security staff)
