Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

AI glasses > Disruption at WARP speed

 





 

Today :

I came across following report which talks about launch of a AI enabled eye-glasses for Rs 9,000 / -  !

> Fire-Boltt FireLens Audio and Vision AI smart eyewear launched

Extract :

FireLens Vision AI adds AI-powered intelligence to eyewear with an 8MP smart camera built on Fire-AI technology. Photos can be taken using the capture button or voice commands (“Hey FireLens, take a photo”), and videos can be recorded in 1080p Full HD.

It allows users to:

·         Ask questions and receive instant answers.

·         Explore landmarks, cultural insights, and local stories.

·         Identify objects, plants, and signs with instant facts and translations.

·         Converse in 35+ languages with real-time translation.

·         Capture notes, conversations, photos, and videos for later recall.

·         Manage reminders, searches, translations, and local tips hands-free.

The dual-microphone system ensures clear audio, and 32GB of storage allows users to save media locally. FireLens Vision AI also supports phone voice assistants, including Siri, Google Assistant, and Bixby, and provides ChatGPT intelligence for AI tasks.

Just three days ago ,

META launched its Ray-ban AI enabled Eye-glasses selling for Rs 70,000 a piece – glasses capable of “ live - streaming “ VIDEOS , along with spoken commentary

That made me predict that, within next 5 years, competitors will start selling similarly capable eye-glasses for , may be , Rs 7,000 each

I went on to predict that , when that happens, may be 6 million of India’s 600 million Smart-phone users may start wearing such “ cheap “ eye-glasses and start streaming videos , even as they go about their daily routine – even as they roam the streets , capturing and streaming whatever they see

When that happens , I predicted that the following industries are likely to get disrupted :

>    Movie Industry > democratized film-making

>   Sports Industry > fans as live commentators

>   Entertainment Industry > replacing actors with self

>   News Paper Industry > remotely inserting advertisements

>   Education Industry > classrooms without walls

>   Overseas Outsourcing Industry > eliminating H1-B visa

>   E – Commerce Industry > analyzing who viewed what and when

>   Work From Home > creating millions of remote jobs

>   Video Meetings- Interviewing > reducing traffic on city streets

>   Tourism Industry > See before you travel

Way back in 2001 , Bill Gates foresaw >  Business @ the Speed of Thoughts  ?
