Project Pearl: your AI companion
A vision for the future of personalized AI
Imagine this: You are at your best friend's wedding, basking in the raw emotion of the moment. The vows have been exchanged, the "I do's" said, and the air is alive with celebration. As you stand to applaud, a tiny device, like a glass sphere or a robotic cat, hovers in the air, capturing everything. This is not your average camera, and the day is far from ordinary. Welcome to the future, where each person has their own AI companion, Pearl.
Capturing Precious Moments in a New Light
Pearl isn't just a device, but a holistic system incorporating cutting-edge AI technology and innovative engineering. It is equipped with a 360-degree camera, capable of capturing the world around you in breathtaking detail. Think of it as an ultra-intelligent drone or a hovering magnet, persistently recording the most cherished moments of your life – birthdays, weddings, or your team's triumph in the final seconds of a football game.
The magic does not stop there. Pearl can integrate the perspectives of multiple devices present in the same location. It stitches together these viewpoints, giving a complete, comprehensive record of the event from every angle, making you feel like you’re right there, all over again.
More than Just a Device: Your Companion for the Metaverse and Beyond
The possibilities of Pearl extend beyond the physical world. In the burgeoning world of Virtual Reality, your AI-powered companion is with you as you traverse the metaverse, ready to assist and enhance your virtual experience. Your Pearl is not restricted to a single form factor. Inventors and enthusiasts have the freedom to design unique bodies for the device – from hovering orbs to robotic pets, all powered by the Pearl AI agent.
You are never away from your Pearl. It accompanies you everywhere, on your phone, in your car, and even in your home, ready to assist and enrich your life.
A New Frontier for Developers
Pearl is also an open platform for developers and innovators to build upon. They can create new applications and capabilities for the devices, enabling a thriving ecosystem around Pearl. With mesh network processors, support for 3D scanning, and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), Pearl will catalyze a new generation of creative solutions.
A Personal Assistant like No Other
Pearl is more than a revolutionary way to capture and relive moments; it's also your personal AI assistant. You can ask Pearl questions, seek advice, or even delegate tasks. It will help manage your calendar, assist you in drafting emails, and keep track of your day-to-day activities. Pearl can also interact with other AI task agents, forming a network of intelligent assistants, all working to make your life easier.
Building a Unique Bond
Everyone will have a unique relationship with their Pearl, shaped by their interactions and experiences. Pearl learns from you, understands you, and, in doing so, becomes an extension of you. Whether you're an early riser who needs help managing a busy schedule or a night owl who enjoys reminiscing about cherished memories, Pearl is there, tailoring its assistance to your individual needs.
Pearl is not merely a device or an application; it's the embodiment of the future we envision - where technology is not just a tool, but a companion, enhancing our lives in previously unimaginable ways. Through Pearl, we are not only shaping the future of AI but are also redefining our relationship with technology. Welcome to the future. Welcome to the world of Pearl.

Pearl was part of my application to grad school at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). She has been part of my Metaverse vision for over 10 years. The vision, and reality, eek ever closer - and I am here for it.
