Cerence and tooz technologies Team to Integrate Conversational AI and Smart Glasses to Elevate the Two-Wheeler Experience
May 11 2021 - 8:00AM
Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, and tooz
technologies, a joint venture of ZEISS and Deutsche Telekom focused
on the development of smart glasses, today announced their work to
integrate conversational AI and the use of smart glasses to enhance
and improve the two-wheeler rider experience. By integrating the
tooz Smart Glasses with the voice- and AI-enabled capabilities of
the newly developed Cerence 2-Wheeler Mobility Platform, the
partners aim to shape the future of the digital mobility market
with the common goal of making the two-wheeler experience safer and
more intelligent.
Recently, Cerence has expanded its reach to the
global two-wheeler market with the launch of the Cerence 2-Wheeler
Mobility Platform, bringing its renown automotive voice and
AI-based assistants to electric scooters. For a safe and
distraction-free experience, the Cerence 2-Wheeler Mobility
Platform enables riders to keep their hands on the handlebars and
their eyes on the road, while still staying connected and informed
via the voice- and AI-powered assistant. The tooz Smart Glasses are
the perfect complement to Cerence’s platform, as the two companies
have tested the glasses as a complementary wearable that displays
additional information from the head unit directly in the driver's
field of view. In this way, relevant data concerning navigation,
traffic jams, road work, or speed limits, for example, is made
available to the wearer at the right time and in the right place.
The aim is to further increase driving enjoyment, safety and
quality with minimal distraction.
“With this collaboration, Cerence and tooz are
making a significant contribution to the future of mobility and the
digital ecosystem,” said Charles Kuai, SVP & GM, Mobility
Solutions, Cerence. “A safer and more enjoyable journey – that is
not only our vision for everyone driving a car, but also for
two-wheeler riders. We look forward to continuing our research and
work with tooz to integrate voice and AI with smart wearables that
can enhance the two-wheeler experience”
Connected to an information platform via
Bluetooth, tooz Smart Glasses are a wearable delivering content
discreetly into the wearer’s field of view and enhancing the
essential function of everyday glasses. The centerpiece of the
solution is the optical engine with several reflective surfaces
directing the virtual image onto the wearer's retina. In the near
future, the lenses will also be available with prescription. Due to
the slim frame as well as wide variety of designs and fits, the
glasses can be worn not only occasionally, but are a smart and
stylish everyday companion. Currently, the tooz Smart Glasses are
available as a developer version in China and Germany and will soon
be introduced in further countries in Europe.
“The application of smart glasses in the field
of mobility is one of the most important and promising use cases
for end consumers. We are confident that the cooperation with
Cerence will yield insights that will significantly shape the
future of mobility and smart glasses,” says Kai Ströder, CEO and
Managing Director at tooz.
