Warm heart hardware developed for the hearing impaired, smart hairpin Ontenna

Release date: 2015-10-22

Honda, who just graduated from the future university of Hakodate in Japan, also made a very warm intelligent hardware - smart hairpin Ontenna. This seemingly stylish hair clip has a special role in converting nearby sounds into light and vibration, so that deaf people can perceive the sound around them. Although Ontenna looks like a normal hair clip, it is actually a tiny computer that transmits vibration to the user's skin. Ontenna can be clipped to the user's hair or ears like a hair clip, making it easy and comfortable to use. Ontenna is able to convert sounds of different intensities from 30 decibels to 90 decibels into 256 different levels of vibration and light, allowing the wearer to relate certain meanings and sound intensities to different vibrations.

The project was helped by MITOU, and it was funded by IPA, the Japanese government's IT technology promotion agency. After using 3D printing technology, Honda made more than 200 different prototypes and tested extensively among deaf and dumb people.

According to the feedback from the deaf people, Ontenna has a sleek shape, and because most people don't like to put the device directly on the skin, worrying about it or being uncomfortable, Ontenna was decided to design it into a hair. Clip, worn on the head or on the ear.

Finally, they did a test to wear an Ontenna near the left and right ears of the participants, and then let them indicate which direction the sound came from. As a result, deaf people can immediately respond to which direction the sound comes from.

One of the downsides of Ontenna is that it can only pass all the sounds together to the user.

Yes, it means that when you wear Ontenna's deaf-mute friends to the noisy environment, the device will always flash and vibrate. Therefore, Ontenna's current scene positioning can only be a simple home environment. In the future, more product optimization and technology upgrades are needed. There are still many solutions for effective information filtering. In any case, this warm heart hardware designed for deaf people is worthy of attention and praise!
