Show HN: I made a wearable AI assistant for $50. (Rabbit r1 analog) (twitter.com)
Hi! I made OpenWearableAI - AI assistant/pendant assembled from widely available components. Here I shared how to do it yourself. Also it would be great to make it an opensource so that everyone can build and use it.

[ 0.27 ms ] story [ 57.4 ms ] threadWearables and AI have a way bigger future and potential than AR, IMO. Why would I want to strap a giant Apple Vision headset to my face all day when I could instead just have something like a 2000s Bluetooth phone headset with an AI super assistant? [2]. I think this also solves your other issue of privacy in responses. Right now it's essentially a phone on speaker.
With an Internet connected GPT and some clever Actions/Commands, you can essentially replace your phone -- Internet searches, text, call, email, etc.
My personal dream of an AI wearable is dead-simple:
- just an ear piece to talk and listen with a slick camera on it for AI Vison [2]
- until the tech gets better/faster/smaller, just make it a relay to wherever my cloud AI, phone AI, or self-managed custom AI lives. No need to wear actual compute right now. Make the device small and slick (cough, cough, Apple...).
- 5G mobile band
- Aggressive memories / basically 24/7 streaming vision. I want analysis ready before I even ask. Even if starting it's just a snapshot frequently.

I don't really understand this. The Vision Pro and gadgets like the Rabbit R1 are completely different devices with completely different use cases.
- a microphone (or perhaps two microphones?)
- an amplifier (AP2068) to drive the speakers
