Description
In this episode, Dan Scarfe, Founder and CEO of XRAI Glass, takes us deep into the revolutionary world of smart glasses & spatial computing.
Dan shares how a personal mission to help his hearing-impaired grandfather inspired the creation of spectacles that transcribe and translate conversations in real time across 220+ languages. He reveals the sophisticated technology behind live speech processing, the critical differences between AI glasses and true AR devices, and why privacy-first design is essential for broader adoption.
From the technical breakthrough that gave their AR2 model 8-hour battery life while looking like regular eyewear, to enterprise deployments with the UK Ministry of Defence, Dan explains how XRAI is building the platform for ubiquitous smart glasses adoption.
Dan's closing argument captures a pivotal moment in technology history. He contends that smart glasses stand at the same inflection point smartphones once occupied—waiting for the final technical barriers (especially battery technology) to fall before unleashing their transformative potential on everything from accessibility to public venues.
