The arGPT solution, as it’s called, is able to receive sound natively through Monocle’s mic and other sensors, enabling low-latency dialogue with GPT-4. It listens to your conversation and tells you exactly what to say next 😱īuilt using GPT-4, Whisper and the Monocle AR glassesīrilliant Labs has also developed a similar application in-house. The responses are then transmitted through Bluetooth from the user’s phone to Monocle and projected to the lens in front of the user’s eye.

The computing process happens on OpenAI’s server. With the ability to listen to a user’s conversation through their phone’s microphone in real time, Monocle can generate personalized support, such as offering suggestions for what to say on a date. In March, it went viral thanks to a group of Stanford students who transformed the eyepiece into a display for GPT-4. Monocle’s open-source community has already gained a dedicated following. Today, the startup announced its $3 million seed funding led by Brendan Iribe, co-founder of Oculus Adam Cheyer, co-founder of Siri Eric Migicovsky, founder of Pebble and former partner at Y Combinator Plug & Play Ventures among others. It’s raised some money to pursue this vision. To integrate its AR device into people’s daily life, Singapore-based Brilliant Labs aims to embed generative AI into its compact wearable. We are running in the exact opposite direction,” said Bobak Tavangar, CEO and co-founder of Brilliant Labs, in an interview with TechCrunch. “Other AR and VR headsets tend to keep you around your couch at home. The startup’s inaugural product, Monocle, is an open-source, pocket-sized AR lens that can be clipped on any eyewear or held to the eye, Launched in March, Monocle has a much more accessible price tag of $349.

Brilliant Labs’ augmented reality wearable stands in stark contrast to Apple’s pricey, bulky, stealthy Vision Pro.
