According to reports, the usage of AI in augmented reality technology may grant users the “superpowers” to decipher the emotional states of other people.
A tech futurist claims that with “superpowered AI glasses,” a person may read people’s emotions or assess their honesty and character.
Devin Liddell, Principal Futurist at Teague, said in a statement to Daily Mail that “computer vision mechanisms integrated within wearable devices like glasses or headsets will identify emotional signals beyond the capability of the un-augmented human eye and intuition.”
In his vision of the future, augmented reality and artificial intelligence would combine to give people new sensory abilities that would change how society interacts.
The term “backchannel” used by Liddell to describe this ability typically refers to private conversations that could give a negotiating advantage.
The futurist believes that in the near future, computer vision technologies, artificial intelligence, and consumer wearables will all come together.
Wearers of these gadgets could decode a variety of physiological and psychological information about their peers, according to Liddell.
This will provide users with a continuous backchannel regarding the people they are currently interacting with when combined with AI, according to Liddell.
“Are they interacting with someone who is calm or worried, intrigued or annoyed, and so on? Are there any cues that they might be lying? Are there any indications the viewer is appealing?
According to Liddell, these perceptive’superpowers’ would enable users to spot anything from covert illnesses to psychological issues, and he believes they will be fully utilized.
