That sounds useful, but do we need a smartwatch to do a job best left to our eyes?
Why would you need a camera on your wrist?
Forgive me if I am a bit against the whole concept of a wearable camera.
I think most Humane AI Pin wearers (and Humane AI)quickly discovered this.
There’s a little light on the frame that tells them as much, but I get the concern.
No one wants to be recorded or have their picture taken without their explicit permission.
Never a good idea
We’ve seen cameras on smartwatches before.
Back in 2013,Samsungunveiled the beefySamsung Galaxy Gear, which I wore and reviewed.
Samsung’s idea for an on-wrist camera was, shall I say, unusual.
Instead of integrating the camera into the smart watch’s body, Samsung stuffed it into the wristband.
This was one bad idea on top of another.
Moreover, there was concern about damaging the wristband, which could lead to ruining the 2MP camera.
It took, by the way, just passable photos.
Currently, you might squeeze your Camera Control button on theiPhone 16and enable Visual Intelligence.
This lets you take a picture and askChatGPTorGoogleSearch to analyze it.
The watch could then connect to your phone or AirPods and identify people: “That’s Bob Smith.
According to his LinkedIn, he works in real estate.”
I’m not sure how those other people would feel about that, though.
Wouldn’t it be better to explore what we want to with our eyes and ignore the rest?
Exactly how much information can a human take?
It needs this but…
There are no guarantees that this will happen.
It’s just a rumor fromBloomberg News,but it makes sense.
It’s high time for Apple to do the first truly significantApple Watchredesign in a decade.
Apple also needs some exciting new technology toremind people it can still innovate.
