What if you could subtitle everyday life? That question sparked the creation of XRAI, a company developing augmented reality glasses that display real-time subtitles right before your eyes. 

In this episode, XRAI CEO and founder Dan Scarfe joins us to share how AI and augmented reality (AR) are making conversations more accessible - for the 1.5 billion people worldwide with hearing loss, but also for anyone who’s ever struggled to hear in a noisy café, missed a detail in a conversation, or needed instant translation.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The highs and lows of building inclusive tech
  • How XRAI’s earliest users (and Dan’s granddad) helped refine the product
  • The different use cases for the technology - benefits for the deaf and neurodivergent communities as well as global businesses
  • The future of AI-driven assistive technology and what’s next for XRAI
