Smart glasses remain a staple in the field of wearable technology. It's no wonder why many people continue using them at present.

From virtual-reality glasses that allow the user to imagine how the VR world works to waterproof eyewear, the possibilities seem endless for the tech firms who produce these one-of-a-kind spectacles.

Indeed, it's surprising that one of the most impressive wearables to launch this year is a pair of smart glasses for deaf patients. It works by providing subtitles to the wearers.

If this information is still not enough to impress you, check out how it becomes a life-changing tool for those individuals who have impaired hearing.

If there's the most innovative technology this year, it would be this game-changing smart glasses for deaf people.

n a LinkedIn post by Timothy Larcos, the Chief Technology Officer at PwC, the most innovative piece of tech that he's ever seen this year is a set of smart glasses from Nreal.

This piece of the wearable is not ordinary glass. Since it relies on smart technology, it can break down the words a speaker says and translate them into phrases or sentences that deaf people can see.

How these Work

Somehow, this product is very transformative, given how efficient it is to use in providing subtitles to the wearers. 

The Nreal Air AR glasses make use of XRAI software, an important tool that detects the voices of random people around the subject.

One commenter on the thread said that a deaf person should first learn English from sign language before using it. Since it's quite selective if it identifies that there are many people in a specific area, it's not recommended to use it in a crowded place.

However, one person replied that sign language is not necessarily the first thing that a deaf person needs to learn. According to her, some people have gotten used to learning the language by reading the lips of the other individuals.

If you're wondering if it will be usable for people who want to go to the big screens, the answer is definitely yes.

You can talk to a representative at the service desk and inform them what theater you will watch a movie in so they can link the device to it.

For easy viewing at home, users could activate the "turn on caption" function on their smart TVs. For foreign language learners, this is also a great tool to use, thanks to the convenient translation function.

The newly-released Nreal smart glasses sport an OLED screen that compliments the AR setting. You can stream and play games on PC, Android, iOS, and consoles with the help of this wearable.

It's fascinating to know that this kind of technology exists. For the part of deaf people who get used to silence all throughout their lives, this is a revolutionary tool that will change their lives forever.
