Stylish and smart, Nreal glasses are compatible with a variety of smartphone apps, one of which may be a solution for those with hearing limitations: XRAI Glass. Users only need to slip on the eyewear and activate the XRAI Glass smartphone app to have them respond to speech in real time, turning audio into captions and projecting them for the wearer to read. The app also stores conversations for future reference. Mark Atkinson, CEO of the Royal National Institute for Deaf People in the UK, calls the product “a great example of the positive difference innovative technology can make for people who are deaf or have hearing loss.”
