Visual Hearing Aid uses projectors to display what is said

Danish designer Mads Sukhdev Hindhede has designed a Visual Hearing Aid that as the name suggests combines features of two distinct products in one. The Visual Hearing Aid concept functions as a visual display and a hearing aid; it displays what people are saying in conversation via two projectors on to a pair of spectacles to the user who can see and hear what is being said. The device accumulates sound through two microphones and uses speech to text translation software to display the speech as text. Drawing power from a built-in Li-ion battery, the Visual Hearing Aid also features “noise-filtering software from hearing aids and video projection software from HMD technology, while the software can be updated via micro USB.”
