So they are a coding school, that is also into event management at a corporate level creating conventions for the tech industry, and they do R&D for wearable tech on the side...
Are they just one of those anything goes companies at this point? like one of those bakeries that are also doubling down as a auto-mechanic and flower shop with a consultation office for home-decor on the back, that advertise itself as "your second home away from home"
...but that doesn't actually fix any of the problems? Like yeah they made it so your range isn't the whole convention center but your still fucked if enough users are close to you. Also what exactly is the use of AI here? Is it just face recognition (ideally the glasses would be per user so that seems egregious)? Is it making up the display data (why would you make this)? Scraping social media for the data (at that point just let the users fill in the relevant information)? The simulation suggested that the AR removed the glasses from other people so maybe that (Just. Take off your glasses.)? Never mind the fact you know they aren't making prescription lenses for the thing so anyone with glasses is just fucked.
I understand that explaining how the glasses worked was not important, and that the point was just to make her look good by making the sale after the shorty failed, but the whole sales mini arc just feels like a random shove in
I tried thinking about how those glasses may work and be useful and this is my assumption
The glasses could keep track of a pre generated user tailored list of panelist of interest for an user to visit
These panelist will be tagged green and the glasses user can keep track of where they may be and go and find them in a convenient order, everyone else not tagged green is ignored
This presents the user with a custom route of how they should explore the convention saving them time and helping with navigation, and since the glasses will only display the info from green tagged users then cluttering shouldn't matter, unless somehow you find yourself in one room with all your green targets standing next to each other at the same time, like... on an opening ceremony... anyway
The role of AI would be to generate and define the members of the green list depending of each glasses user, and then optimizing the route someone should follow in order to meet each green target, the route would actualize in real time since the local server keeps track of where each glasses user is, and that's what is used to generate the route giving priority to whoever is closer
Everyone else would be tagged red and be relegated to be part of the crowd, and would exist to be a pain in your eyes, literally causing eye strain... which is dumb, so my explanation must be inherently wrong, because at that point, you are better off without the red tag
Also what if you want to get info from someone that didn't got green tagged? what if your tailored list was wrong? what if it was right but you still want info from something you never cared until now because you got curious now that you are at the event? are you fucked then since it would not have been matched with you and getting a green box? can you manually target people to turn them into green tags?
But i feel like none of these questions matter since that wasn't the point of the chapter, in the end they somehow use AI and the glasses color tag people, and shit works because it works man, it just works
