OpenAI develops wearable AI device with built‑in camera

OpenAI is preparing its first hardware product, a wearable device that incorporates a camera and is tightly integrated with ChatGPT. The prototype is being designed in collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive and aims to provide continuous, low‑friction AI assistance without relying on a smartphone. The device could capture visual information through its camera and microphones, enabling real‑time translation of signs or menus, identification of food ingredients, object and monument recognition, and on‑demand explanations for study or shopping. While details about its form factor remain unclear, reports suggest it may be a clip, pin, or other discreet accessory that lets users interact with the AI by speaking or even moving their lips, reducing the need to open an app on a phone.
