I love the idea of a ‘nothing pendant (1)’ (or ‘broach (1)’).
Essentially, it is a smart wearable with built in speaker and microphone, worn around the neck so you, the user, can make and receive voice calls, play music, and search the web hands free.
Think of it as an AI companion in your day-to-day, controlled with voice commands. Kinda like having Alexa or Google Assistant perched on your shoulder – or for my fellow Trekkies – your very own Starfleet Communicator (!!!).
It can be worn under your clothes for discretion, but features a Glyph that can light up for visual notifications. You might look like you have an Arc Reactor in your chest, á la Tony Stark (Iron-Man), but my fellow Marvel fans may agree that would be totally incredible (!!!).
The smart pendant could also include healthcare technologies (step counting, for example) if it doesn’t make the wearable too heavy or bulky. If the device continually communicated with users’ smartphone, that might not be necessary though.
Commands:
- “Navi - call the wife”
- “Navi - who won the PDC World Darts Championship?”
- “Navi - guide me to the nearest Wagamama”
- “Navi - play ‘People Get Up And Drive Your FunkySoul’ by James Brown”
