ElevenLabs TTS + voice cloning

Integrated the ElevenLabs API for low-latency, natural-sounding text-to-speech and voice cloning, giving the wearer a voice that sounds like their own.

Real-time pipeline

Synchronized hardware inputs with cloud-based AI processing, keeping the spoken and visual layers in sync on the glasses.
