Meta patents smart glasses that beam your voice to a friend's earbuds
Meta has filed a patent for a system where smart glasses pick up a user's voice and send it wirelessly to another person's wearable audio device. This allows the first user to speak while the second user hears the conversation through their own earbuds or headphones.
In the filing’s own words
A method is provided in which at least one processor of smart glasses belonging to a first user establishes a wireless communication link with a wearable audio device of a second user. The smart glasses detect voice audio from the first user using at least one microphone and transmit the voice audio to the wearable audio device via the wireless communication link. Various other aspects are also disclosed.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: establishing, by at least one processor of smart glasses of a first user, a wireless communication link with a wearable audio device of a second user; detecting, via at least one microphone of the smart glasses, voice audio of the first user; and transmitting, via the wireless communication link, the voice audio to the wearable audio device.
