OSU Scientists Develop Electronic Eyeglasses for Deaf
Ohio State University researchers led by Dr. Herman R. Wood and Dr. Richard M. Campbell are developing electronic eyeglasses to aid deaf readers. The system translates speech into light signals and vibrations to augment lip reading, aiming to boost comprehension to about 70 to 80 percent. The device combines a microcomputer with eight lens rim lights and inner shaft vibrations, connected to glasses by wires, with clinical trials planned for deaf students this fall.
