Read my lips!
Developed by the SciFi laboratory at Cornell University, this device was designed to allow people to unlock and use a smartphone in all circumstances, including when there is a lot of noise or, on the contrary, in a space where silence is required .
Here, there's no need to say a command out loud, just silently mouth the word and the glasses can act as a relay between the wearer and the smartphone. Currently, this involves, for example, silently pronouncing the phone's access code or commands such as “louder”, “forward” or “stop” to control playlists.
As designed, this concept is relatively compact and, above all, requires very little power. These glasses, called EchoSpeech, work using sonar, emitting and receiving sound waves through the face, in turn detecting the slightest movement of the lips and mouth. Depending on the type of echo profile received, the artificial intelligence can identify the request being made. It takes just a few minutes of user training for the artificial intelligence to recognise about 30 commands and numbers to execute on the smartphone.
Although still a prototype, this initiative could one day be commercialised. It could potentially be of assistance to people with speech impediments, or if one day combined with a voice synthesiser, it could give a voice to people who cannot usually express themselves. – AFP Relaxnews
