At TED 2025, computer scientist Shahram Izadi takes the stage to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we interact with the world through next-generation wearable devices. No longer confined to screens and voice commands, AI is stepping into our field of vision—offering real-time assistance that feels intuitive, almost invisible.
Izadi demonstrates Google's Android XR platform, developed with Samsung, which powers smart glasses and headsets enhanced by the AI assistant Gemini. These devices can remember objects, translate conversations in real time, play music on command, and assist with navigation. Using natural inputs like gaze, gesture, and voice, users explore immersive experiences—from planning a trip to Cape Town in 3D to interacting with AI within games like Stardew Valley. The tech transforms AI into a proactive companion that augments memory, language, and creativity. The vision centers on lightweight, intelligent wearables that extend human cognition, offering contextual support before users even ask. This integration marks a shift toward seamless, embodied computing where AI doesn’t just respond—it anticipates.
