Vancouver-based Naqi Logix has been honored in the Innovative Tech category of the TWICE VIP Awards 2024 for its Naqi Neural Earbud, a revolutionary Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology. The earbuds allow users to control devices through facial micro gestures like head tilts or eye blinks, eliminating the need for touch, voice, or screen commands.
Integrated into standard earbuds, this technology can control computers, wheelchairs, smart homes, and AR/VR environments. Former Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan, a quadriplegic, praised the device for its transformative impact on accessibility. Naqi’s earbuds were also named one of TIME’s best inventions of 2023.
