> The two biggest hardware challenges are reducing the size and weight of the ultrasound probe and replacing ultrasound gel with a more practical coupling material, such as hydrogel. We think both are solvable, making it possible for the probe to eventually become a lightweight wearable or adhesive patch. Not sure I'd want to put an adhesive patch on my neck every morning so I can silently talk to an LLM in the cubicle farm. I hope this is not our future. Very cool tech though and surprisingly good results for so little training. I think time might be better spent improving a lip reading model (no adhesive required), assuming we're unable to read brainwaves directly.

Keeping a camera focused on the lips could get awkward. A hands free throat patch may be more ergonomic.

It won’t necessarily be adhesive. It could be attached mechanically - we’re still exploring the form factor. The idea is that you won’t need cubicles anymore. Your hands will always be free because you won’t need a keyboard or mouse. You’ll be able to control the digital world using only your tongue. The future is bright: you’ll talk to your Jarvis while driving through the Norwegian fjords.
