AlterEgo: Redefining Human-Computer Interaction Through Silent Communication
In an era where voice assistants and AI companions dominate our daily interactions, AlterEgo emerges as a groundbreaking leap forward. This wearable device enables silent, internal communication between humans and computers — without audible speech or visible movement. By tapping into the electrical signals of speech muscles, AlterEgo transforms the way we interact with technology and each other.

Technology Behind AlterEgo
AlterEgo relies on surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors placed along the jawline and neck. These sensors capture neuromuscular signals generated during subvocalization — the internal articulation of words when we read silently or prepare to speak. Advanced machine learning models then decode these subtle signals into commands or text.
Responses return through bone conduction audio, allowing discreet feedback that does not interfere with natural hearing or the surrounding environment. In effect, AlterEgo creates a closed communication loop that is both invisible and private.
