Google’s parent company Alphabet is working on creating a wearable device with the aim of allowing its users to isolate a single person’s voice from a crowd. The project has been code-named as ‘Wolverine’ and it aims at enabling "superhuman hearing" through a series of microphones that usually deliver a built up audio feed into the user’s ear. According to a report by Business Insider, there are several prototypes of the device which have been created.
'Wolverine' project
The project has been named Wolverine after the mutant X-Men character who also had the similar qualities. The project began in the year 2018 and the company would need to work on making the device’s form factor smaller if it wants to build a successful product that would appeal to businesses. According to a report by the Business Insider, the project’s future is not guaranteed and it must show commercial or industrial value.
