NuWave Glasses Help the Hearing Impaired by Connecting to Smartphones

A group of Virginia Tech students recently unveiled a new prototype for glasses that don’t help users see more clearly — they help with hearing

Undergraduate students Chelsey Pon, Lane Stith, Nellie Talbot and Peter Yoo created a pair of glasses called NuWave after participating in the Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center’s “Getting Wireless” Student Design Challenge earlier this year. Each team received a hypothetical character as the base for its project; the NuWave team focused on a fictional character named Michael, a 16-year-old who lost his hearing after a car crash. The team then explored the idea of bone conduction and looked for a way to create a device that wouldn’t change Michael’s appearance too drastically. Read more…
