when you say "audio interface" I assume you mean like, "Hey Siri" and not an audio interface as in recording device, right?
So we are talking about a HomePod with a screen, or like one of those Meta "Portal" things?
- walterbell 7mo agoNot sure. Some AI audio pendants are always on. The Apple device is rumored to adapt its interface to the user based on facial recognition. They could choose to start monitoring audio when it thinks a known human wants to interact with the device, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47145201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47145201 Apple is developing a tabletop robot as the centerpiece of its artificial intelligence strategy, with plans to launch the device in 2027.. The robot resembles an iPad mounted on a movable limb that can swivel to follow users around a room..The company is also exploring other robotics concepts, including a mobile bot with wheels similar to Amazon’s Astro, and has discussed humanoid models..

- walterbell 7mo agoFaceID (3D) facial recognition would not need video recording.
- b112 7mo agoWhile true, I think the parent meant more that the camera would be active constantly, instead of a mic.
- walterbell 7mo agoThe FaceID subsystem is already pulsing periodically (N seconds?) on iPhones, e.g. to check for human attention. Apple could also use WiFi 7 Sensing (which can fingerprint humans by heartbeat) to trigger on human presence and determine when a full facial recognition scan was needed.
