I have a family member who worked on this. (During Thanksgiving break they brought one for us to play with.) The real-time conversation language translation was really the best thing about it. And controlling the “screen” with your hand. My family member said that the product creators hated what Apple phones/smartphones had become, because people weren’t “meant to look at screens their whole lives.” I guess the “a-ha” moment for the creators was going to a concert and most people weren’t watching the concert normally, but through their phone screens as they recorded it. So they made something that could do most of what phones could do, but you would still have your eyes on the world. My family member did say they weren’t sure how well it would do. 😬

I think part of why they keep mentioning that it isn't doing anything is because, since many virtual assistants respond to a trigger word, which means they're listening constantly to hear you use the trigger word. They understand what you're saying, and there are cases of phones using what they hear you talking about as a means to make advertisements more personalized.

9:15 Having the device be able to tell you the nutritional makeup of foods could actually be very useful, given the right context. For example, if you told it what kind of diseases and illnesses you had, such as diabetes, it could tell you what you can safely eat without having to worry.

[@-c3202]

I totally agree with you, but the thing is, we already have apps that do that :/ also, to use the example of diabetes, everyone will digest different foods slightly differently, so one person with diabetes might have their blood sugar spike with that dragonfruit but be totally fine eating an apple with the same sugar content, while their friend with diabetes can eat dragonfruit all day long but a slice of apple sends their blood sugar through the roof. It's unfortunately just more complicated than this AI seems capable of

Too bad it's impossible to do that visually. Pasta sauce cooked with 2 tablespoons of butter looks identical to pasta sauce cooked with 1 tablespoons. The only way to actually test the nutritional content is with chemical testing. Someone tried that crap on shark tank, and he got laughed out of the room. If anyone ever claims to be able to tell the nutritional content with AI and only visual input, they're lying. It would be super useful, but it's just not possible.

Microsoft's insistence on having user voice recognition before the technology was truly there really did more harm than good, though. Most people didn't have the time or patience to read several dozen paragraphs of text into their mic (which is what was requires at the time), so the computer wouldn't get a good grasp on the voice and would constantly mess up or even ignore them.

[@Mo__Ga]

It's amazing how often, companies will tell you that it will only listen once you say some keyword. Sometime ago I found a website from Google where you can listen to your voice commands and you can clearly see that there are 5-10 seconds before you say hey Google. So not only is it listening the whole time, it has to save at least the last 30 seconds and has the capabilty to send it instantly to the cloud if needed. As a user you can only see the times when you used voice activation, but as we all know there have been many tests, where Google will show you ads for something, moments after you talk about it for a few minutes.

It could also read text like if you were reading a book it could read to you. Because the voice does sound less robotic than a lot of those voice readers.

I feel like the big, overlooked flaw is what the captured video/picture would look like. Sure, it's hands-free, but it probably won't zoom in, and it's pretty limited in the field of view by the placement on your clothes. Even if it has facial recognition, what if you're trying to record a pet or some pretty flowers? What kind of specs are they using for the tiny camera in that thing? Does it correct for motion blur automatically since it's clipped to your chest? That's just what ran through my head during that one little scene in the demo. Is it bluetooth compatible so you can hook it up to earbuds? So you're not being the obnoxious person in public listening to music out loud or having a phone call on speaker? Cool in theory, probably inconvenient in practice.

This, apparently that was the flaw with smart glasses too. Video recorded could be janky and easily obscured because of hair or head accessories worn by the user.
