While AI features are now integrated into nearly every device, enhancing functionality and user experience, there's a demand for standalone artificial intelligence devices like WhereAble AI that offer specialized and advanced capabilities.
A CES 2025 Honoree in the Innovation Awards' Computer Peripherals & Accessories category, Vtouch's WhereAble is touted as a "wearable computer that lets you interact with AI anytime, anywhere." Complete with a visual input WhereAble eye and a voice input WIZPR RING, WhereAble AI functions as an AI agent with the ability to "see" and "hear" only when spoken to. As such, users benefit from being able to have natural conversations, and have the AI-driven device see what they're seeing—without needing to take out their phone.
The chest-mounted AI wearable also understands context-based user choices and engages a four-step proximity voice detection system to prevent malfunctions.
