AI enables the future of augmented reality glasses

29/12/2023

The implementation of Artificial Intelligence It is in a constant state of evolution, and its influence on our way of life is palpable. The augmented reality (AR), is one of the areas that has taken the most advantage of the possibilities of AI, revolutionizing the way we interact with the digital and physical space at the same time.

Today, AI is being actively used to produce mobile applications with augmented reality (AR) highly immersive. The fields of augmented reality and Artificial Intelligence are working together to provide incredibly intuitive and useful experiences, which effectively bridge the virtual and physical worlds. The next achievement on the list of AI and AR goals is the incorporation of advanced AI capabilities in augmented reality glasses for the general public, which will greatly expand the possibilities of immersive interaction.

Generative artificial intelligence will drive the production of three-dimensional worlds, offering unlimited opportunities for users to craft their own realities

La Artificial Intelligence Generative is characterized by improvements in algorithms, language models, and greater processing power available to perform the calculations necessary to map and interact with the physical world.

Currently, three-dimensional models in AR glasses They remain quite limited, since they must be built practically by hand. However, generative artificial intelligence could generate them quickly and autonomously. The adoption of generative AI in augmented reality glasses will open the possibility of building 3D models with greater speed, unlocking the true potential of augmented reality. This creation of digital worlds, which overlap with the physical world, will be faster, more complete and more immersive, without the need for intensive manual work.

Generative artificial intelligence will also revolutionize the user experience and how we interact with physical space. With augmented reality glasses equipped with generative AI, users will be able to easily project their imaginations into the real world. No programming will be necessary, as users will be able to use voice recognition to "speak" their images and 3D objects through their AR glasses just as you want them. They could say something like: “Imagine a dolphin swimming across the room” – and it would appear before them. The possibilities of such immersion in augmented reality are practically limitless in terms of entertainment, work and more.

AR glasses equipped with generative AI will also have an impact on the gaming world, providing a deeper and more personalized gaming experience. For example, thanks to tools like ChatGPT, we will be able to create more realistic characters and add new missions or game worlds more easily. It could also be used to improve the gaming experience by analyzing player behavior and adapting the game to make it easier or more challenging in real time, autonomously personalizing the experience.

Voice and text translation by artificial intelligence will reduce language barriers

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) uses audiovisual speech recognition based on a neural network (an algorithm that relies on image processing to extract text). This can translate written text (such as that on a menu in a foreign country) into your native language in real time.

When applied to augmented reality glasses, it can generate subtitles in real time of your native language while someone speaks in another language, all on the same screen of the augmented reality glasses. This eliminates difficulties for tourists and business people trying to communicate in the local language, promoting a more inclusive and collaborative world.

The combination of text recognition and text-to-text translation techniques, such as AI-based optical character recognition (OCR) and text-to-text translation engines such as DeepL, and AI engines such as stable diffusion, you can improve communication with the use of animations or other visual aids that can help convey complex or detailed concepts. This enhances user engagement: AR glasses that use this artificial intelligence could display a relevant image or video in real time that is related to what the user is saying in front of them in a panel or presentation. Google recently announced that it is developing AR glasses with this functionality.

It also allows the deaf community Engage in everyday conversations without the need to read lips or maintain constant eye contact by converting audio into subtitles that are displayed in front of the user's eyes.

The presence of AI in healthcare, education and other fields is increasingly notable. We will soon have smart AR glasses that, just like in popular science fiction, will transport people to environments of virtual reality or augmented where AI will quickly map the space and position of the interlocutor so that virtual communication is fluid and less tedious, regardless of the location of the parties.

Artificial intelligence makes it easier for augmented reality glasses to detect and label objects in the real world, increasing interaction.

Algorithms convolutional neural networks (CNN) for object detection are being used on mobile devices to estimate the position and extent of objects within a scene. Once an object is detected, augmented reality software can overlay text around it or generate another object in the real world and establish an interaction between the two. Objects brought to the real world have many applications, including instruction, navigation, diet and nutrition, among others.

By employing a pair of AR glasses with these AI capabilities, for example, a user could walk down the streets of any city and learn about any point of interest in real time simply by looking at it. AR glasses can identify, label and provide information about the city and its points of interest, all through the glasses that the user is wearing. As object recognition technology improves, nutritional information such as calories, protein, fat and cholesterol will be available for any food and serving size. Meanwhile, using simple QR codes on products will provide users with nutritional details.

In addition to pure object detection, facial recognition software is also becoming common for person detection. Facial recognition is already being adopted in the airline industry, where more and more flights are using the technology to verify a passenger's identity, adding an additional layer of security and streamlining the boarding process. When used in AR glasses, it could provide users with everywhere recognition capability. For example, in the near future, with AR glasses, you could meet people on social networks and receive their basic information instantly before deciding whether to add them as a “friend” or connect with them.

The most common AR glasses with AI They are transforming our lives and their possibilities and capabilities will continue to improve. In an increasingly interconnected world, they are facilitating tasks and breaking down barriers that only a few years ago seemed insurmountable. The progress of artificial intelligence is happening so quickly that over the next ten years, AI will advance more than it has in the last fifty years. Whether in government, corporate, or personal fields, AI will soon combine with AR glasses to merge our physical and digital environments.
