Smart glasses can listen in on, guide conversations
Marie Donlon | May 06, 2023A prototype of smart glasses designed to listen in on conversations and instruct the wearer about what to say next have been developed by researchers from Stanford University.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered glasses, dubbed rizzGPT — real-time Charisma as a Service (CaaS) —were built using OpenAI’s latest language model system GPT-4, OpenAI's speech recognition large language model Whisper and Monocle augmented reality (AR) glasses from Brilliant Labs.

According to its developers, the glasses, which feature a microphone, a high-resolution display and a camera, can interpret questions, transcribe answers and display them on the screen of the glasses.
The AI glasses communicate via Bluetooth with an app on the user’s phone. As the user speaks, audio is reportedly converted into text in real time. Whisper then enables the glasses to feed the chat to the GPT 4 chatbot, which makes suggestions about answers to the wearer.
Although the glasses are still in the early stages of development, its developers suggest that the glasses could potentially be worn in the future by those seeking help with dating or interviewing for jobs.
That would be great. One could guide your date to what you want! Hey hey. However, if she suspects what you are doing, that's it. So, the device must be undetectable or it's not useful. If you are going to get your answers from a robot, then leave out the human.
