I knew And in these smart glasses it worked quite well when he told me that someone else in the conversation was socially awkward.
Glass transcription These are smart glasses that are to do exactly what he says on the can: transcribe talks and design a glass subtitle in front of your eyes. They are intended for deaf people, and above all a nearby community who tries to read their mouths or choose a conversation in a deafening room.
Most face computers are without thickening and massive, but these glasses are lithe, only 36 grams. Transcribleglass is able to maintain weight by transferring most of the main calculation functions to the accompanying application (iOS only for now). As part of no cameras, microphones or speakers, only a miniature inverter projector in a rim of one eye, which radiates with an image of 640 x 480p per glass. This is sufficient resolution to make the text legible when it is projected directly into your vision, subtitating conversations collected by the microphone on the phone.
In the application, the inscriptions can be moved in the user’s vision, anywhere in 30 degrees of the field of view. You can change the settings to adjust the number of text lines at once, gathering to the wall wall and to one word at once. The battery in the glasses should last about eight hours between the loads. The frames cost around USD 377, and access to the transcription service is an additional subscription fee worth USD 20 per month.
The inscriptions are currently available in glasses, but Madhav Lavakare, a 24-year-old founder of Transcribleglass, has other functions. In the testing phase there is a setting to translate languages in real time and one to analyze the tone of the voice of the talking person.
Glass rejected
As Lavakare told me (i New Yorker In April) he imagined an idea for this product after he wanted to facilitate a slave in conversations that did not have in mind his needs. Lavakare, who is an older at the University of Yale, thought that glasses were a good solution. If he could just correct them correctly. And, you know, make them look colder than some other glasses.
“I was obsessed with Google Glass when he appeared,” says Lavakare.
“Oh”, I say. “So you were a glass hole?”
“I was, I was!” He says with laughter. “And then I thought, why do people call me that?”
During the conversation, the words appear on the screen of glasses that I am wearing. Appear in Matrix-It’s font that is based on my vision. He does a pretty good job, rewriting the conversation, although he divides the word “glass” into a “glass hole”, which is more forthright.
Although Lavakare’s smart glasses are much more normal than Google Glass, they still can’t stop, but they look like smart glasses. On the screen he has a lithe gloss, in which the waves sit on a glass, which is sufficiently noticeable to onlookers and is clearly noticeable to me when I wear them.
