멘토렌즈 – AI 튜터 글래스

Existing learning methods are passive (focused on books and videos), with high dependence on private education and digital lectures. When self-directed learners study alone without focus and feedback, there is a lack of ways to immediately resolve difficult concepts.

Online education platforms require internet connection and separate devices, and children or foreign language learners also face language barriers.

MentorLens is a glasses-type AI tutor with built-in eye-tracking and voice recognition sensors that analyze the learning target in real-time and provide immediate feedback. It operates as a fully on-device AI without the internet, and performs 1:1 customized learning in real-time tailored to the user's language and cultural background.

Compared to existing learning tools, it greatly increases learning immersion by supporting instant answers, two-way communication, and a multimodal interface. It is innovative in that it can be immediately converted into an AI tutor simply by installing learning resources in advance and wearing the actual glasses.

The primary market is targeting end consumers (students and parents) (B2C). There is also significant potential demand in the lower grade education market, special education, and the self-development market for working adults.

Educational institutions and academies (B2B) or corporate education departments (B2B) are also interested, but due to the high cost of hardware, procurement-type B2B may be easier in the initial stages. Government subsidies (education policies) are also being discussed from a long-term perspective.

Starting with elementary and middle school English, it can be expanded to various fields such as other subjects, languages, and medical/technical education. With strengths in offline learning, it is possible to enter the global market regardless of internet quality.

However, device production and content localization costs, as well as usability verification, are necessary. Applications are also expected in education tools or remote explanations in medical and industrial settings.

The CES 2025 award has verified its technological excellence, and related media have also noted that "everything in front of you is learning material." Although the completeness is at the demo level, it has increased technological reliability by disclosing actual prototypes and patented technologies (ultra-small sLLM engine, offline execution, etc.).

However, as it is the world's first product, there are commercialization challenges such as price, battery, and content acquisition, and it is time to verify market demand. There are opinions to be cautious of overestimation until the educational effect is proven.
