OtOmegane
"Sound Glasses": Deaf communication support system
OtOmegane is an AR glasses-based communication system that helps people who are deaf and hard of hearing to actively participate in conversation. It consolidates verbal and non-verbal communication in one place, displaying speech and non-verbal cues such as silence and laughter using AR rather than a separate screen. This helps users to participate in the flow of conversation based not only on the content, but also based on cues such as conversational tone and the facial expressions of other participants. By reducing barriers to active engagement in conversation, this system enriches communication and helps people to build connections.
