...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.

That sure was some techno babble. We're going to see "AI" thrown around a lot as the now magic technology word ain't we.

Also the battery life on a WAN Bluetooth hud glasses of that shape and size would be about 16 seconds. There was a reason Google glasses where massive frames and a tiny half a postage stamp sized lens on only one side

Thanks for the chapter!

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"

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

The setting is a Technical conference - which means every individual involved would have already signed up for the conference floor, and paid a fairly decent sum of cash. The AI involved is almost certainly face recognition, combined with a fantastical shared map which compares notes between glasses to pinpoint extra people whose faces are not immediately visible to one set of glasses, but visible to another set of glasses.

Putting aside the stupidity of this approach via just having every person in the conference carry an RFID tag on their conference badges, most of the hand-wavy details makes sense to me, even if it's not exactly realistic (GPS systems would have problems for example in many conference buildings, so the server's data has to have a reference that is more pinpointable or expensive.

Hello! This is Maru Scans! We're at the last chapter of Wan-Ope!
We still have extras and the author's afterword to go but chapter wise this is the last for volume 3!

We're caught up with volume releases and will be waiting for volume 4 next! :win:
God don't scare me like that! Lead with last chapter of this volume, not just the last chapter!

I believe they are primarily an event management at a corporate level, creating an 'AI-based solution' which is likely being put on someone else's AR glasses. As stated in earlier chapters, the coding school was just to give them credibility in the teaching space because these events presumably are partially staffed with their own engineers.

Having worked for a startup, I'm familiar with the mentality of (This is our long term project, and this is the project we use to keep the lights on until said long term project takes off), so I presume the tutoring is mostly about getting fairly low-investment money while the larger, more important project took time to create and get off of the ground. In my case, however, the long term project was online cloud video streaming, and the short term project was the same thing only we were selling drops of our source code to a bigger cloud company for multiple salaries worth of money.

That this person... has exceptional technical comprehension
They lost me at that. AI? Sure, let magic AI do it's magic;

but someone that ask "how it behaves in 100+ (2k but still) person setting" is "guy knows his tech"???

I had hopes for this series, now I'm kinda... empty? AI for magic, super programmer as a be all solution (that can be kinda true, though)?

Similar smells similars, I guess. I was kinda harsh on the series about AI wording (they used it well, as a magic word).

Still, no... just my ego

AI was the stuck-up marketing kid's words. Just him throwing out buzzwords to get the client to accept, and this time it didn't pan out because the clients knows tech. Just as Ai explains, it's algos, cloud processing, swarm networking etc. Clever engineering, explained by the clever engineer, not a marketing guy who doesn't understand the tech just using marketable buzzword to gloss past the tech and its features/limitations.

the tutoring might be the side business now. Even in real world, there is a very big company that have tech business in one side and culinary business in another. It would be easier for a startup to do so

so the previous chapter set up is just for dramatic tension. I would be fine if they end up failed as a result of their tries with cheap glasses. AI is expensive and highly risky to be profitable. But the author decide to make AI is the plot armor for main character to this chapter i see. Well i got the author's message anyway. Let's just move on
