Smart glasses won’t become everyday products just because the technology gets better.
They need to compete with regular glasses on their own terms: style, comfort, and fit.
That’s central to what we’re building at @Altina.
Thanks @uctodaynews for the conversation.

Nobody wants surveillance on their face.

"The big tech approach to smart glasses: cameras, data collection, it makes people uncomfortable. With what we're doing, there's none of that."
After two years of building quietly, I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on: a new kind of hearing eyewear, made for conversation.
At @altina, we’re designing eyeglasses with AI-powered hearing enhancement to help people stay engaged, even in noisy environments.
We’re collaborating with the British eyewear brand Cubitts, one of London’s most respected eyewear makers.

Two AI chips. One on each side.
Une 10ms latency.
@Altina's glasses do what hearing aids don't: "They separate the speech from the noise. We just amplify the speech."

80% of people with hearing loss don't wear hearing aids.
Even when you hand them a $7,000 pair.
"It's stigma. It's comfort. People still are not going to wear it."
@btal left Amazon's smart glasses team to fix that with @Altina.
The answer isn't a better hearing aid. It's deleting the hearing aid entirely.

Appreciate @OptometryToday covering @Altina.
In collaboration with Cubitts, we’re building hearing eyewear like traditional eyewear. The goal is for Altina to fit naturally into the existing optical ecosystem.
