Dr. Thad Starner and his team at Georgia Tech have collaborated with Google Glass and Microsoft to design a technology that uses the movement of ear canals and the tongue to detect speach of those with disabilities. Right now, they can detect phrases such as "Give me my medicine, please" and "I need to use the bathroom." 

The team is also exploring consumer use of this wearable technology for speaking without being hear. Find out more about this cutting edge research!
