These smart glasses show real-time subtitles of conversations, which could be useful to deaf people. The XRAI Glass software turns speech into text, which is then displayed on the inside of the lenses.

Imagine having this to help communicate with ppl across different languages. Really support the project

Well it's very hard to translate speech in real time to another language because words and sentences are structured differently in different languages so it would have to listen to the whole sentence or multiple sentences before it could actually accurately translate it, and there could still easily be akward mistakes. It could work somewhat on languages that are related to each other

I don't really see the need for paying $400 for this glasses. Guys, our phones can already do that. just open the translator app and choose conversation. and it will subtitle all the conversation automatically. I do not see any need for these glasses...

@@Drop_The_Mic $400 is very inexpensive for these glasses. Deaf people already use phones to communicate with people, and it's very cumbersome and inefficient. Plus, you always need to have your head in your phone, which isn't so favorable.
Science and technology never ceases to amaze me. The joy and happiness it can bring to people is just priceless.

Thank you and bless you for bringing these to all that need them. I cannot express how much these would help me. When do you anticipate them being available in the US? Also, are they designed to be worn over regular glasses? Where can I follow you to know when they're available?
I'm deaf and have thought this up years ago. I'm impressed that it did happen. I bet it uses auto-caption so it won't be 100% effective, maybe 80%?

more than anything, this is really just a groundbreaking moment for the deaf and hard of hearing community. it’s still at its starting point, of course, but as research on the subject becomes more intensive and technology continues to evolve, so will the efficacy and accessibility of these glasses. i’m so happy in behalf of inclusivity for all!

This is one of the coolest pieces of technology I've seen in a while.
does it matter how clearly the person speaks for the subtitles to be correct? i’ve had issues with some speech to text apps because of some health related speech issues. edit: 0:15 her speech is pretty clear and easy to understand. i’m talking about speech that is not as clear, slurred to varying degrees, etc.

Some software's actually learn your speech habits over time and adjusts to them accordingly. I've learned over the years that speech to text softwares aren't all created equal. Since this device's entire existence and credibility is banking solely on that one feature then I would hope that it would be among the best there is.

Did you not see the Co-founder (who is deaf) talking to the other deaf woman? You can tell she lost her hearing later in life thats why her 'accent' has changed, and the software seemed to pick it up with ease.
The joy and happiness I felt with this invention..even though I don't personally know anyone who is hearing impaired, is tremendous. Donno why. I guess with everything going on in this world now a days , bad news one after the other... This video brought a feeling that I almost haven't had in a long time.
This could also be useful for non-deaf people if translation becomes more effective in the future.
Lovely. This is what we should be using our human intelligence for.
