I am calling bullshit on all of their points.
-
No screen, but a projector to project on your hand? WTF? So not only will it far less information, but it will be a pain to use…
-
Voice commands? Meaning I will need to tell everyone around me what I am doing? Also calling bullshit on getting them to work in a busy area.
-
No it can’t, there are no ways to detect nutrition from a picture of a peice of food
-
Privacy? Yeah, get back with me in 20 years when it has been proven to not sell, leak or have data stolen, then I’ll be impressed.
In conclusion, this is as real as the Skarp laser razor is.
No it can’t, there are no ways to detect nutrition from a picture of a peice of food
Why not? at least to the extent that a human can. Some AI model recognizes the type of food, estimates the amount and calculates nutrition based on that (hopefully verified with actual data, unlike in this demo).
All three of these functions already exist, all that remains is to put them together.
Ok, if you take any book, keep it closed, how many times do the letters s, q, d and r appear in the book?
There is no way to know without opening the book and counting, sure, you could make some statisticsl analysis based on the language used, but that doesn’t take into account the font size and spacing, nor the number of pages.
Since the machine only has a photo to analyze, it can only give extremely generic results, making them effectively useless.
You would need to open the food up and actually analyze a part of the inside with something like a mass spectrometer to get any useful data.
I agree with you, but disagree with your reasoning.
If you take 1lb of potatoes, boil and mash them with no other add-ins, you can reasonably estimate the nutritional information through visual inspection alone, assuming you have enough reference to see there is about a pound of potatoes. There are many nutrition apps out there that utilize this, and it’s essentially just lopping off the extremes and averaging out the rest.
The problem with this is, it’s impossible to accurately guess the recipe, and therefore the ingredients. Take the aforementioned mashed potatoes. You can’t accurately tell what variety of potato was used. Was water added back during the mashing? Butter? Cream cheese? Cheddar? Sour cream? There’s no way to tell visually, assuming uniform mashing, what is in the potatoes.
Not to mention, the pin sees two pieces of bread on top of each other… what is in the bread? Who the fuck knows!
If i had a big list or directory of a lot of well known books and how many times s, q, d and r appears in them then sure I would be able to make a very good estimate on how many there are from just looking at the cover of the book, with a slight variance being in the editing that version may have. Almost like how a specific type of food will likely have a certain amount of protein fibre etc, with slight variations based on how the cook prepared the food.
I hate it. I don’t want to speak to people who are wearing one.
I’m going to actively avoid people doing so, and I feel like others will as well.
If someone walks up to you and they’re filming you on their phone, how would most people react?
Ai Pin has a “prominent Trust Light” which turns on when the device is in use.
Let’s all place bets: What will be the first mod or patch for this device? 🥷🏽
It’s a neat idea, but frankly, I don’t want or need other people hearing my business. It needs to pair with (smart?) earbuds.
A built-in 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera can be used to capture photographs and videos I bet other people won’t like the camera any more than they did with Google Glasses.
Photos can be viewed using the “Center” website on any web browser. Want to see photos? Gotta go to the website. All photos therefore shared. Along with notes, music listened to, reminders … Nuh-uh!
