Workplaces like manufacturing floors, warehouses, and distribution centers are filled with hands-on activity — making it hard for frontline workers to take notes, access instructions, or capture observations without breaking their workflow. This project challenges students to develop and prototype a voice-activated smart glasses solution (e.g., Meta Ray-Bans or an open-source alternative) that allows workers to receive audio-guided training instructions and capture voice notes on the go — all hands-free. Students will: Research and select suitable smart glasses hardware with open voice or AI capabilities. Design a system to capture, transcribe, and organize voice notes or commands from users. Prototype a workflow where audio prompts can guide users through standard operating procedures (SOPs) or training tasks. Build a lightweight application or interface to store captured data (e.g., in Google Sheets, Airtable, or a database). (Optional Bonus) Enable real-time transcription and summarization of observations using foundation models (e.g., Whisper, Gemini, Claude). This is a an opportunity to combine AI, wearable tech, and industrial operations to solve challenges in training and knowledge capture.
