Vancouver’s Naqi Logix has been recognized in the Innovative Tech category in the TWICE VIP Awards 2024 for its ground breaking Naqi Neural Earbud.
The Naqi Neural Earbud represents a new era of Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology, allowing users to control their digital world without touch, voice, screen commands.
By reading facial micro gestures such as a tilt of the head or an eye blink, the Naqi Neural Earbud seamlessly converts these into commands to control almost any device.
Integrated into existing earbuds, Naqi’s technology empowers users to control a wide range of devices, including computers, wheelchairs, smart home systems, and AR/VR environments.
Naqi Logix’s innovative approach offers an effective alternative to brain implants, transforming how humans can interact with technology.

Celebrating its 11th year, the TWICE VIP Awards recognize the best products, features, and designs in the tech industry.
“We are thrilled to be recognized by TWICE Magazine for our efforts to create breakthrough technologies that enhance lives and drive positive social impact,” said Sandeep Arya, Chief Business Officer at Naqi Logix.
“NAQI’s capabilities redefine accessibility, revolutionize digital device control, and pave the way for a more inclusive and innovative future.”
Former Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan, who is quadriplegic, is among those grateful for Naqi’s technological advances. Through Naqi’s earbuds, Sullivan can operate his Permobil wheelchair without need for a head array, sip-puff straw, or a joystick.
“I’ve been waiting for something like this my whole life,” said Sullivan. “As a quadriplegic, I can say the ability to control a chair just by looking at where I want to go or by blinking my eyes to control the smart devices in the world around me is an amazing thing for me and other people with accessibility issues.”
When something comes along that someone has been waiting for their whole life, it’s probably a decent invention. TIME agrees: the magazine recognized Naqi’s neural earbuds as one of the best inventions of 2023.
