What we can work on together
QX TECH offers AI hardware development backed by wearable design, manufacturing and software capabilities. Projects can combine device hardware, firmware, companion apps and AI service integration. A practical starting point is a specific user task and a feasibility plan covering compute location, network dependence, power, latency, data handling and recurring costs—not an unqualified promise of autonomous or offline AI.
Start with the job, not the model name
Describe a useful interaction in plain language: capture a voice note, translate a conversation, explain a device reading or help with a defined workflow. Write down what counts as success, which actions require confirmation and what should happen when the system is uncertain. This gives engineering a testable goal.
Next, decide where each part runs. A small wearable, a paired phone and a cloud service have different constraints. The architecture should make it clear which features continue offline, which need a phone, and which stop when an account or service is unavailable. A prototype should expose these dependencies, not hide them.
| Architecture option | Discuss explicitly |
|---|---|
| Device-side | Supported compute, memory, power and update constraints |
| Phone-assisted | App permissions, connection and background behavior |
| Cloud-assisted | Connectivity, latency, data route and recurring charges |
Turn a demonstration into evidence
Create a small evaluation set that reflects the real environment: expected languages, background noise, ambiguous requests, connection loss and repeated use. Record end-to-end latency and the outcome of the task, not just whether a model returned text. For hardware, assess the implications for heat, charging and runtime under the intended usage profile.
Define safe failure behavior. A misunderstood voice command should not quietly execute a consequential action, and a generated statement should not be presented as a measured health fact. Human confirmation, constrained tools and clear wording may be more valuable than an unrestricted assistant.
Make operating responsibilities visible
Separate one-time development from model/API usage, cloud hosting, service licenses and maintenance. Confirm whose accounts are used, who can change providers, and what data is transmitted or retained. These are product decisions as well as commercial decisions.
SG02 is the current QX catalog reference for wearable camera, audio and connected AI workflows. It combines an 8MP camera, photo/video capture, AI recognition and translation, and Bluetooth calls in an approximately 42 g glasses design. A new product concept still needs a bounded feasibility review of its hardware, app, service dependencies and acceptance goals.
Before we start
Can the AI run fully offline?
That is a feasibility question, not a default capability. Define the task, compute limits and quality target; device-side and connected approaches can then be evaluated.
Does the quote include lifetime AI usage?
No such commitment is implied. Recurring model, cloud and third-party service costs must be identified and agreed separately from development.
