Tiny cameras in earbuds let users talk with AI about what they see

University of Washington researchers developed the first system that incorporates tiny cameras in off-the-shelf wireless earbuds to allow users to talk with an AI model about the scene in front of them. For instance, a user might turn to a Korean food package and say, "Hey Vue, translate this for me." They'd then hear an AI voice say, "The visible text translates to 'Cold Noodles' in English."
