Components

01
Visual Interface
A private visual layer for brief labels, directions, and prompts placed onto the world.
RoleCarries glanceable information without turning the experience into a phone screen held in front of the face.

02
Earpiece
Behind-ear audio, microphones, and sensing form the system’s primary conversational interface.
RoleLets the system hear and respond while preserving deliberate silence and a physical mute boundary.

03
Ring
A small haptic input for quiet confirmations, cancellations, and supported gestures.
RoleProvides a tactile interaction path that does not require a screen or break eye contact.

04
Compute Slab
Pocket compute and storage carry the thermal and processing load away from the primary interfaces.
RoleHolds local processing, storage, memory, connectivity, power management, and sensing in a modular physical core.

05
Personal Model
An on-device model learns one person’s rhythms, goals, preferences, and long-term context.
RoleTurns local memory and inference into continuity while keeping the model inspectable, erasable, and owned by its user.

06
Sensors & Inputs
Intent-led input combines voice, gaze, gesture, and contextual signals without treating constant capture as the default.
RoleSupplies constrained, purposeful signals to the local system and supports small buffers rather than permanent raw logging.

07
Energy System
Power-aware sleep, wake, and duty cycles keep the system available without pretending energy is unlimited.
RoleCoordinates power across the slab and interfaces, with graceful degradation instead of sudden failure.
