Cognixion develops an AI and AR-based application for speech-impaired individuals, allowing users to leverage taps and gestures for engaging in conversation. The interface enables users to customize icons or pictures for key phrases and assembles sentences naturally, enabling communication with minimal taps. The platform includes a performance dashboard for tracking progress and measuring results. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, Cognixion has raised approximately $25M in Series A funding from investors including Alexa Fund, Northwell, Prime Movers Lab, Volta Circle, and Particular Ventures. The company combines augmented reality display technology with brain-computer interface research to create assistive communication tools for individuals with conditions such as ALS, cerebral palsy, and autism, enabling hands-free communication through AR glasses that project text-to-speech interfaces in the user's field of vision.
