Vuzix Adds Xpertinc's C-Sound Captioning to Blade Smart Glasses
Vuzix, a supplier of smart glasses and augmented reality (AR) technology and products, is partnering with Korea's Xpertinc to power its C-Sound solution, an auxiliary engineering device that converts voice into text and expresses it in real time on Vuzix Blade smart glasses to assist deaf and hearing impaired people.
"Xpertinc's C-Sound solution is yet another example of how Vuzix smart glasses are directly helping improve people's lives," said Paul Travers, president and CEO of Vuzix, in a statement. "The C-Sound solution using Blade smart glasses can not only provide bright readable closed captioning for them, but its optically see-through waveguide will also allow its wearers to clearly view non-verbal conversation signals, such as mouth shape, gesture, and facial expression."
