Zone HSS1

The problems included short battery life of AR wearables such as smart glasses, narrow field of view/privacy exposure issues, and limitations that only one person can use them. For example, it is difficult to use all day, and there are concerns about privacy invasion when using the camera and microphone.

Zone HSS1 was developed against this backdrop to find a way to use it all day long and protect privacy even when multiple users use it simultaneously.

Zone HSS1 is an open-ear type headset, not glasses, and provides a battery that can be used all day long. It has a built-in high-resolution camera + multiple microphones to simultaneously process voice and video streams from multiple users. It supports real-time large multimodal model inference with onboard AI processing (equipped with a 2 billion parameter LLM), and increases performance by linking with the cloud if necessary.

It also supports user consent-based control such as AI camera activation with visual gestures such as nodding/gaze, and encrypts and stores shooting data to enhance privacy protection. In summary, it is an independent platform that takes the advantages of smart glasses and complements the disadvantages, allowing constant communication with AI without hands or a screen.

B2C consumers are the main target as a next-generation personal assistant device. In particular, professionals, international travelers, and content creators who need to improve work productivity or access real-time translation and information may be interested.

At the same time, it can also be used as a hands-free AI support tool for smart factory workers or field engineers in the B2B field. There are no B2G cases yet, but there is potential demand in special fields such as military and rescue. As a complex wearable, we see the greatest marketability in the individual user (B2C) market.

Given that it is a wearable AI platform, it is possible to expand the app ecosystem in the future. Scalability was considered by adding functions through Android/iOS linked apps, or by allowing third-party developers to replace/add AI models.

In terms of regulations, only privacy regulations regarding camera use need to be kept in mind, and this was addressed with personal information protection design. With the development of 5G communication and voice recognition AI, expansion is expected into various industries such as real-time interpretation, visual assistance, and AI tutors for education. In particular, it is highly likely to grow the wearable AI market by competing and partnering with translation earbuds, AR glasses, etc.

"AI Companion"The CES judges gave high marks for presenting a new category called . It won the Best of Innovation Award in the AI ​​category at CES 2026, proving its technology, and the result was attention to the potential to make AI ​​naturally used in everyday life.

Experts evaluated that the prototype was highly complete and the simultaneous interpretation of multiple people and the operation of privacy mode were impressive in the actual demonstration. However, there are challenges in terms of price and popularization, and there is also an opinion that market verification is still needed, given the Kickstarter launch plan."Beyond Smart Glasses"There is a mixture of favorable reviews and cautious views on the success of commercialization.
