Microsoft's AI-powered backpack: the future of portable assistance

September 8, 2023

Microsoft wants to patent an AI-powered backpack equipped with a camera, microphone, and sensors for gathering information about the environment. The company aims to create a portable and context-aware AI that is easy to use outside the home. It will be capable of assisting with navigation, adding events to the calendar, and even comparing prices while shopping. Interacting with the assistant will be possible through voice commands, as well as providing visual, auditory, and tactile feedback.
