The document describes a wearable device called "The Third Eye" designed to help hearing-impaired people by recognizing sounds, determining the direction of sounds, and notifying the user through vibration. It analyzes sound through multiple directional microphones and notifies the user of important sounds and their direction through a vibration motor. It is powered by solar energy and controlled through a smartphone application. The goal is to help hearing-impaired people better manage their environment and prevent safety accidents.
