116 - Xander's Smart Glasses Bring Real-Time Captioning to Daily Life for People with Hearing Loss - Interview with Xander's Alex Westner and Paul Travers of Vuzix
MIT spinout, Xander, recently unveiled its first product at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. XanderGlasses are powered by Vuzix smart glasses and display real-time captions of in-person conversations to help people with hearing loss. In this augmented reality experience, captions are displayed seamlessly right in the field of view of the wearer.
In this episode, host Amyn Amlani talks with Xander's Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Westner, and the Founder & CEO of Vuzix, Paul Travers. They discuss the motivation behind the creation of XanderGlasses, how the technology was developed, why they chose to partner with Vuzix and the new and emerging use cases for XanderGlasses.
Following a successful pre-seed fundraise in January, the company hopes to have two models of XanderGlasses available for purchase in mid-year 2023.
