There’s been a lot of talk about AR being all about vision with GoogleGlass, HoloLens, etc But I think AR has a much better use case with stuff like this but incorporated into AirPods and such. Being able to block bad noise and enhance good noises is fantastic. Being able to get translation or customized notifications and stuff will be fantastic. Just simple functions like adjusting the volume down for people you don’t like/are loud or amplify quiet talkers will be great. The battery isn’t quite good enough yet, but once AirPods last 18 hours I expect this to take off. My dad is mostly deaf and has gone through thousands of dollars of hearing aides and it was hard to talk with him. He got some Bose headphones (I think 700s) and now can make calls quite easily. It’s a funny situation where it’s easier to have a conversation with him next to you by calling and using FaceTime. He uses this instead of his hearingaides (that require many drives to doctor to test, fit, fix, etc). I imagine this will be much more widespread once they are smaller and work with reality directly piped in and not requiring a phone to digitize.
