Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein may include a wearable apparatus including a frame having a memory and processor associated therewith. The apparatus may include a camera associated with the frame and in communication with the processor, the camera configured to track an eye of a wearer. The apparatus may also include at least one microphone associated with the frame. The at least one microphone may be configured to receive a directional instruction from the processor. The directional instruction may be based upon an adaptive beamforming analysis performed in response to a detected eye movement from the infrared camera. The apparatus may also include a speaker associated with the frame configured to provide an audio signal received at the at least one microphone to the wearer.
