Edith | AI-Powered Smart Wearable with Voice & Gesture Control

Team Ruhela is a group of innovators exploring AI in wearable technology, blending voice control systems and gesture-based interfaces to build the next generation of smart wearables that enhance productivity and reduce distraction.

What are they building

Edith Smart Glasses—an AI-powered smart wearable combining voice commands, gesture recognition, and context-aware adaptation for effortless, hands-free control.

Powered by ESP32-S3 hardware, TensorFlow Lite, a Flask backend, and a React Native mobile app, Edith enables seamless interaction for calls, messages, navigation, and smart-device control—all without reaching for your phone.

Why are they building or to solve what?

Modern life revolves around smartphones, often at the cost of focus and efficiency. Most smart glasses offer limited AR or audio functions but lack a natural, integrated AI experience. Edith solves this by creating a context-sensitive, AI-driven wearable that allows users to speak or gesture naturally—promoting productivity while staying engaged in the real world.

Scope

Edith: Redefining the Future of Productivity Wearables
Edith is poised to revolutionize the category of productivity wearables by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology into a minimalist and intuitive design. Its core innovation lies in the use of low-power AI inference, which allows sophisticated machine learning models to run directly on the device with minimal battery drain. This is coupled with advanced edge computing, ensuring that critical user data and real-time decision-making remain local, guaranteeing both lightning-fast responsiveness and robust data privacy.

The user experience is further enhanced by gesture-enabled voice control. This hybrid interface allows users to manage tasks, communications, and their digital environment through a combination of simple, discreet physical movements and natural language commands, enabling a truly heads-up, hands-free workflow.

The development team is currently focused on an intensive phase of pilot trials. These trials are crucial for a multi-pronged improvement strategy: first, to meticulously refine gesture precision and accuracy across a wide range of users and environments; second, to significantly extend and enhance the capabilities of the embedded voice assistant, making it a more intelligent and proactive partner; and third, to perfect its seamless integration with existing IoT and smart home ecosystems.

With Edith, the team's overarching goal is clear: to ensure it is not perceived as just another fleeting gadget but as a dependable AI wearable. It is being architected from the ground up to cultivate a state of deep focus and flow for the professional and the innovator, establishing Edith as the foundational wearable technology driving both present efficiency and future innovation.
