Programme:
Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computer Science

Awardee:
Yip On-tik, Chui Tsz-ching, Lee Chak-yin and Eugene Wu Long-fung

Competitions and Awards:

Young Professionals Exhibition & Competition 2025

Undergraduate Section2nd Runner-Up

Project:
“Smart Glasses for Hearing Impaired in Hong Kong”

Organiser:

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Hong Kong

Details:
A team of four graduates from the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computer Science– Yip On-tik, Chui Tsz-ching, Lee Chak-yin and Eugene Wu Long-fung – achieved commendable success in various local and national innovation and technology competitions with their innovative project “Smart Glasses for Hearing Impaired in Hong Kong”.

In the Young Professionals Exhibition & Competition (YPEC), organised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and co-organised by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the HKMU team was the only finalist from the self-financing tertiary sector, competing against 17 other teams from six UGC-funded institutions in the final pitching round.

The team also secured Second Place in the Tertiary Students category in the Tech Singularity 2025 – Smart City AI Contest, organised by the Hong Kong Information Technology Joint Council.

Designed by the HKMU team, “Smart Subtitle Glasses” (SSG) is an augmented reality (AR) wearable device engineered to improve accessibility and communication for individuals with hearing impairment. The SSG system goes beyond conventional assistive technologies by seamlessly integrating real-time speech-to-text transcription and multilingual translation. Its architecture leverages two core modules, both employing state-of-the-art pre-trained models to ensure exceptional performance, accuracy and minimal latency.

The Young Professionals Exhibition & Competition 2025 provides a global platform for young engineers and students to showcase innovative projects, network with industry leaders and compete at an international level. This achievement underscores HKMU’s successful endeavours in cultivating practical, entrepreneurial and impactful skills among its students.
