Wearable AI Revolution at CES 2019: OrCam Technologies' Empowering Platforms

OrCam Technologies CES Sands Hall D #44552, the world's most advanced AI-driven wearable platform innovator, will preview the OrCam MyMe personal AI platform throughout CES 2019. OrCam MyMe functions as an "AI companion" by performing real time facial and text recognition and subsequent personal big data analysis to help achieve work-life balance optimization. The platform's technology is delivered to a companion app on a smartphone or smartwatch.

Carrying the heavy lifting of sophisticated AI with deep learning algorithms in a compact form factor, OrCam MyMe is currently on a Kickstarter campaign for early adopters of the first of its kind wearable platform. With the goal of building a community around the innovative device, the initial pledges will secure a below-retail price of $199 (full retail price: $399), with shipments beginning in March 2019.

"The mission of the campaign is to make AI a companion for humans by putting together a camera, sophisticated computing, machine learning, and deep networks. I invite everyone who is interested in the potential of AI to join us and build a community in which we find ways to harness artificial intelligence for a better life," said OrCam Co-founder, Chairman and CTO Professor Amnon Shashua.

OrCam MyMe continuously operates to detect faces and matches them to stored signatures for instant recognition in the future. The device also detects text on business cards and name tags, and matches the information to the individual. Once a person is recognized by OrCam MyMe, the name, contact information, recent notes associated with the person, and latest tweet are flashed to the smartphone or smartwatch on a companion app.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/mothers-day-comes-with-triple-bonus-for.html

The user can assign people to groups or subgroups such as Work, Family, and Friends, then the companion app uses personal big data analysis to create useful insights: comparative analysis on time spent with different groups, work-life balance optimization, and other statistics. Personal goals can be set and monitored through the companion app similar to other health-related devices, such as step counting or diet monitoring apps. Be alert to read related news.

Lightweight (0.6 oz/17.2 g) and discreet, OrCam MyMe has a 13-megapixel camera that clips onto one's clothing and works for a full day on a single charge. Communication between OrCam MyMe and a smartphone is through a low-energy Bluetooth protocol, fine-tuned for the user to experience a continuously-on operating device with real-time performance. Read all the latest news.

OrCam MyMe respects privacy by keeping all data stored on the device itself for the sole personal use of the user, and never sent to the cloud or anywhere else. The onboard camera acts as a "sensor" as no photos are stored on the device – all photos taken are processed for face and object recognition and then deleted on the fly. The device does not record videos or audio and is supported by advanced cyber-security measures to avoid hacking.

Also being demoed at CES is OrCam MyEye – the world's most advanced wearable artificial vision device – which delivers increased independence to people who are blind, visually impaired or have reading difficulties, including severe dyslexia, illiteracy and other conditions. OrCam MyEye is empowering people in 23 languages and 37 countries. OrCam's assistive technology can benefit more than two billion people globally. Read related news here.

Wireless, lightweight and compacted into the size of a finger, the pioneering technology of the OrCam MyEye artificial vision device discreetly reads printed and digital text aloud – from any surface – in real time. Instant face recognition and identification of consumer products, colors and money notes provides increased independence. Magnetically mounted on the wearer's eyeglasses frame and weighing less than an ounce, OrCam MyEye is the only wearable artificial vision tech that is activated by an intuitive pointing gesture or simply by following the wearer's gaze – allowing for hands-free use without the need of a smartphone or Wi-Fi.

At CES 2018, OrCam MyEye won the prestigious Last Gadget Standing award.

"We will continue to intensify innovation of our breakthrough platforms, driven by wearable artificial intelligence technology pioneered by OrCam – thereby directly impacting the quality of life of our current and future users around the world," said OrCam Co-founder, President and CEO Mr. Ziv Aviram. "Early adopters of OrCam MyMe, which acts as the ultimate AI personal assistant, will drive the next generation of wearables that bridge technology and society. OrCam MyEye's highly advanced artificial vision technology empowers people who are blind, partially sighted, or have reading difficulties, including dyslexia or those who experience reading fatigue, to study, work, and live their lives with a high degree of independence."

Celebrity Real Estate News: Hollywood’s Ultimate Celebrity Home Is For Sale

"Hollywood's Ultimate Celebrity Home" Read here.

In the 1950s and '60s, Hollywood celebrities flocked to Byrdview like swallows to nearby Capistrano in the spring. Frank Sinatra owned it for ten years, Marilyn Monroe was rumored to add its guest cottage to her affair locations with JFK, Judy Garland and Vicente Minnelli renewed their vows there and Liza Minnelli was married there. The Rat Pack partied hearty there and guests included most of the big names in Hollywood, along with Sinatra's politician friends. Considered to be California's #1 celebrity home, Byrdview, is on the market priced at $12.5 million.

In 1949, socialite Dora Hutchinson, heir to the Chase Manhattan Bank fortune, commissioned futuristic architect William Pereira to design her new home. Not only was Pereira one of the most famous and prolific architects of the time, he had also been a film set designer, director and producer for several 1940's movies winning an Oscar for his special effects photography work on Cecille B. De Mille's "Reap the Wild Wind" in 1942. The perfect architect to pack a dramatic punch, he designed a show-stopping, mid-century-modern home that was ideal for Dora's grand-scale entertaining and would be just as stylish in 2019 as it was in the 1950s. As soon as it was completed, she wasted no time in gathering the Hollywood stars and California business leaders for her soirees, many times setting off fireworks from her Byrdview perch to signal the start of cocktail hour. It was when she decided to move back to New York City that she passed it to Frank Sinatra, which shifted the entertaining from mannerly socialites to Rat Pack style.

Byrdview is located on 4.3 acres in the Chatsworth neighborhood on a hilltop with 360-degree views over Los Angeles, mountains and the surrounding 3,000 acres of nature preserve. Gated and unable to be seen from the road, the 6,661-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bath structure has 60 percent of its walls as sixteen-foot-tall glass, flooding it with light and capturing the views in all directions. Also included is a bar, formal dining area, a den-office, large chef's kitchen with island, breakfast nook with view and top-of-the-line appliances, a number of fireplaces, and endless entertainment areas both inside and out.

Byrdview has been the backdrop for numerous films, television shows and music videos. The house and grounds have been seen in films such as "Swordfish," "Dreamgirls," "Transformers" and "Bewitched." It has also starred in television series "Mad Men" and "Californication" and music videos by Mariah Carey, Usher and Rihanna.

Byrdview, the home that has enjoyed its own celebrity status for almost 70 years, is for sale priced at $12.5 million. Co-listing agents are Craig Knizek and Barrie Livingstone of The Agency, Beverly Hills.
