Gyges Labs Chief Scientist shares next-generation AI wearable insights at GOSIM
At the 2025 Global Summit on Intelligent Manufacturing (GOSIM), Gyges Labs Chief Scientist Siyuan Qi joined a featured panel to share the team’s vision on the next generation of AI wearable devices—highlighting the importance of invisible, socially-compatible AI interfaces and the company’s breakthrough DigiWindow display technology.
During the panel, Qi introduced Halliday, one of the lightest AI wearable platforms featuring a truly invisible near-eye display. He emphasized that as AI becomes more deeply embedded in daily life, the form factor of AI hardware must evolve toward subtlety, privacy, and social comfort.
Invisible AI is the Next Interface Layer
Qi argued that the next decade of AI hardware must solve a key challenge that current devices fail to address:
How can users enjoy real-time AI assistance without creating social friction or revealing personal information in public?
He noted that bulky headsets, glowing AR visors, or conspicuous smart glasses often signal “I am using AI,” which can create discomfort in meetings, classrooms, negotiations, or any interpersonal setting.
“If AI becomes a natural extension of human cognition, the device delivering it must also become natural,” Qi said. “Invisible interfaces are not aesthetic upgrades—they are a requirement for AI to integrate into real-life social environments.”
Design Principles of the New AI Wearable Era
In his talk, Qi outlined three foundational principles for future AI wearables:
1. Invisible Display
AI output should be visible only to the wearer—never to others.
No bright projection, no obvious light leakage, and no visible display hardware.
2. Fashion-First Hardware
Wearables must look like normal eyewear—not like gadgets.
A socially acceptable look is essential for adoption in professional and everyday settings.
3. Ultra-Low Power, Ultra-Lightweight
The device must be comfortable for all-day use.**
Bulky or power-hungry devices undermine the concept of “ambient intelligence.”
DigiWindow: Gyges Labs’ Breakthrough Toward True Invisible Computing
Qi shared that Gyges Labs developed DigiWindow display technology specifically to meet these constraints. DigiWindow enables a micro-display that becomes visible only to the wearer while remaining completely invisible from the outside—without relying on waveguides or heavy optics.
