About Esync AR-gleraugur
E-sync er beranlegt samskiptahjálpartæki fyrir fólk með heyrnarskerðingu sem notar gervigreind til að greina tal og tilfinningar. Tækið umbreytir talmáli og tilfinningum í texta og þreifanlega titringa sem gera notendum kleift að skynja tón talmanns. Notendur geta svarað á táknmáli sem gervigreind umbreytir í talskilaboð. Samanbrjótanleg hönnun tækisins er bæði þægileg og verndar það, með glæsilegu litavali sem samræmist daglegum klæðaburði. Fylgiforritið gerir kleift að sérsníða málvinnslu í rauntíma og bætir þannig samskiptaupplifun notenda í félagslegum samskiptum.

- Production Technology
- The introduction of AI technology into E-sync enhances face-to-face communication for the hearing-impaired. It recognizes speech content and emotional cues, converting them into text and tactile feedback. Users can respond using sign language, which the device converts into suitable speech based on gesture recognition. This closed-loop communication process, aided by AI hardware, reduces misunderstandings, and improves social interactions.
- Design Challenge
- We extensively considered the shape and size of the product during the design process, exploring options like smartphones and smartwatches, but ultimately choosing glasses as the most convenient option. We also considered privacy concerns during communication between individuals with hearing loss and hearing individuals, addressing these issues in our design of aesthetics and functionalities.
- Research
- 60.5M+ individuals with severe to total hearing loss struggle with conventional aids, limiting access to info & effective communication. Current assistive devices mainly convert speech-to-text, ignoring the depth of understanding and emotional conveyance crucial in social interactions. This barrier exacerbates isolation, discrimination, and mental health concerns in a hearing-centric society.
- Inspiration
- People with disabling hearing loss face limitations in accessing auditory cues, resulting in lower emotional cognition compared to hearing individuals. This lack of emotional understanding can lead to misunderstandings in social interactions and difficulties in conveying true emotions and attitudes. Consequently, it may cause offense or awkwardness, leading to misunderstandings and inconvenience.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 in Beijing and finished in March 2024 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- E-sync utilizes AI to analyze the speech information of the hearing population, generating visual information, which is then presented to the user through augmented reality technology on the lenses of the glasses. Additionally, the product scans sign language gestures through cameras and translates them into corresponding phrases. Based on the user's social occasions and physiological signals related to personal emotions, AI processes and outputs complete sentences through the speaker.
