Instead of fancy shmancy AI, could a pupil tracker on eyeglasses be used to estimate where a person wants to hear and use phasing to amplify the signal from there?
You have two microphones already, spaced about 30 cm apart...
- gertlex 2y agoMicrophones are cheap right? Just have multiple on each ear while you're squeezing in the AI features too :)
- thsksbd 2y agoThe problem, as I understand it, is that the wavelength of sound is very big relative to the microphone spacing.
- gertlex 2y agoI'm also far from an expert on wavelength stuff when it comes to applied uses, so I'd have similar questions. But my hearing aids do in fact already have two mics per ear (about half an inch apart), and use them to let me block out some of the noise behind me. I suspect you definitely get big improvements from a greater spacing in a microphone array than what fits on an ear though!
- KaiserPro 2y agoYup thats basically what most AR glasses are capable of (or in the case of the linked aria glasses, research device that does have all the sensors.) but you don't need eye tracking all the time, as most you can latch on to the location of the speaker without looking at them continuously. The possibilities are rather good, but it needs someone willing to fund the research
