The main objective is to implement audio sensory devices on the wearable glass device, process the signals from Microphone attached, remove unwanted elements like noise using implementation of filters, amplify, combine surround sound from various microphones strategically placed on the device to provide directional sound effects and then conduct the sound to the user’s brain directly using Bone Conduction technology.
