xMEMS Unveils AI Glasses Prototypes Featuring Sycamore MEMS Speaker and µCooling Fan

Delivering on earlier announcements, xMEMS Labs will demonstrate new AI smart glasses prototypes at its upcoming xMEMS Live Asia seminar series on September 16 in Taipei, and September 18 in Shenzhen. The concept features Sycamore, a very thin and light “sound-from-ultrasound” MEMS transducer that is able to deliver superior beaming for the challenging conditions of glasses frames. The prototype also showcases how xMEMS µCooling technology will deliver the industry’s first in-frame active cooling solution.

SonicEdge Presents Integrated MEMS Speaker and Microphone Solution at CES 2025

To be unveiled at CES 2025 is a new example of a MEMS microspeaker company that now offers an integration with a MEMS microphone. SonicEdge, the startup that pioneered ultrasound MEMS drivers and has yet to enter the market, will present SonicTwin, an integrated speaker-microphone in a single package. Combining the company's patented modulated ultrasound technology that eliminates traditional mechanical vibrations, makes the integration with a microphone and sensors much easier with potential benefits also for ANC and lower-power in TWS earbuds and headphones.
