|
8.3
Apple acquired Q.ai for about $1.6 billion, sources reported, buying a stealth startup founded in 2022 that develops camera-based "silent speech" conversion. Patent filings and founders' backgrounds — including PrimeSense cofounder Aviad Maizels and OrCam R&D VP Yonatan Wexler — indicate a computer-vision approach to convert subvocal jaw movements into text. The technology could power private text input for Apple Vision headsets, AirPods, and rumored smart glasses.
