More than Hearing – OpenEarable
OpenEarable is a new, open-source, Arduino-based platform for ear-based sensing applications
OpenEarable supports a series of sensors and actuators: a 9-axis inertial measurement unit, an ear canal pressure and temperature sensor, an inward facing ultrasound microphone as well as a speaker, a push button, and a controllable LED. We demonstrate the versatility of the prototyping platform through a series of example application scenarios. As such, OpenEarable offers a general-purpose, open sensing platform for earable research and development.
The variety of different sensors inside OpenEarable give rise to many applications ranging from health to authentication and identification. Everyone can change and adapt the platform to their needs. Custom earpieces can be attached via a standard connector. OpenEarable fits many different ear sizes and can be used comfortably for studies in the lab or on the go. It offers easily record, manage and process sensor data and you can train machine learning models optimized to run on embedded.
