Smart Glasses for the Deaf Developed by Russian Scientists
The gadget displays real-time subtitles for spoken speech, making information accessible to people with hearing loss
Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tambov State Technical University have won the TsifRaProm (Digital Industry Accelerator) accelerator with a project to develop smart glasses for people with hearing impairments.
The device addresses the challenge of information accessibility for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The glasses display subtitles of spoken speech directly in front of the user’s eyes in real time.
Potential for Broad Use
Earlier, the company Neuroimplanty ELVIS began testing Russia’s first domestically developed cochlear implant designed to restore hearing. The device consists of an external processor and an internal electrode that stimulates the auditory nerve.
