Voice Engine updates

At RealWear, we're committed to continuously improving our products. Based on customer feedback, in this release, we've revamped our voice engine and implemented a new algorithm to enhance voice recognition and noise cancellation, both in high and low noise environments.

Additionally, we've added a new option in My Controls, allowing users to manually select between high and low noise settings if desired. The automatic noise cancellation now benefits from our advanced audio switching algorithm.

Display Scaling

We have added the option to scale the display on our headsets if a user struggles to see the four corners of the screen. This allows for enhanced visibility on our bigger screens.

Added Support for Trust on First Use (TOFU) Enterprise Networks

Introduced TOFU/TUFU support for enterprise certificate based Wifi Networks.
