It's an Unobstrusive Assistant Whispering in Your Ear
There has recently been a new innovation in technology, called the OrCam MyMe.
Like Google Glass, the OrCam MyMe will speak to you through a Bluetooth earpiece. However, rather than hanging suspended above your eye, the MyMe camera is a pendant designed to clip unobtrusively on your shirt or perhaps your belt.
The camera is designed to not have the privacy problems that the Google Glass faced, because it does not record user data, it just analyzes it. For example, one of the most interesting potential applications will be MyMe’s ability to generate a “word cloud” from a conversation without actually recording the conversation itself. The idea is that you would be able to later gather insights to your interactions with people in a less invasive and more useful manner.
There are many other applications for this technology, and I think it might be paired with VR to create virtual worlds that are personalized for you to explore.
