- Scientists have developed artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses designed to provide enhanced hearing.
- These spectacles use a camera to translate lip movements into clear speech, benefiting individuals with hearing difficulties or those in noisy environments.
- Developed by a team from Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh, Napier, and Sterling universities, the technology aims to give 'superpowers' to existing hearing aids.
- The system processes sound data remotely via high-speed internet, enabling the AI to isolate specific voices even when multiple people are speaking.
- Researchers are in discussions with hearing aid manufacturers and anticipate a working version by 2026, with plans to make the cloud-based model publicly available.
