OpenEarable

OpenEarable

Overview

OpenEarable is the world’s first fully open-source AI platform for ear-based sensing applications featuring true wireless audio. Developed by TECO at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, it is bundled in a compact, modular earpiece design. It integrates a rich array of on-board sensors, including a 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), pressure and temperature sensors in the ear canal, inward- and outward-facing microphones, a speaker, push button, and RGB LED, all based on the Arduino ecosystem.

Our Goal

The project's goal is to provide an ideal prototyping and research platform for next-generation wearable technologies that is engineered for flexibility, ease of use, and extensibility.
