HKMU’s endeavours in promoting an entrepreneurial spirit among students are bearing fruit. At the Tech Singularity 2025 \u2013 Smart City AI Contest, HKMU students were awarded prizes.<\/p>\n

Chui Tsz Ching, Yip On Tik, Lee Chak Yin, Wu Long Fung Eugene, students in the Computer Science programme received the Second Place (Tertiary Students Category) at the Tech Singularity 2025 \u2013 Smart City AI Contest organized by Hong Kong Information Technology Joint Council.<\/p>\n

In this project, the team introduced an innovative solution, the Smart Subtitle Glasses (SSG), aimed at improving accessibility and communication for individuals with hearing impairments. Unlike conventional assistive technologies, SSG seamlessly integrates real-time speech-to-text transcription (STT) and multilingual translation capabilities within an augmented reality (AR) wearable device. The system is composed of two primary modules: a speech recognition module and a translation module. Both modules utilize state-of-the-art pre-trained models (PTMs) to deliver accurate and efficient real-time transcription and translation, ensuring exceptional performance with minimal latency.<\/p>\n

Organised by the Hong Kong Information Technology Joint Council, this Smart City Artificial Intelligence Contest encourages the submission of innovative solutions about databases, cloud technology, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, aiming to promote the development of Hong Kong's technological environment. Through innovative thinking and operational process improvement proposals, students can continuously enhance and apply various technologies with high feasibility strategies, contributing to Hong Kong's advancement towards a smart city and enhancing the competitiveness and diversity of society.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
