Most generative artificial intelligence systems feature a chat-based interface for user interaction. In addition, some support multimodal interactions; however, others use disparate interfaces. The use of wearables and other peripheral devices provides an opportunity to enhance these interactions. The design of peripherals such as keyboards, mice, tablet pens, joysticks, scanners, monitors, speakers, printers, external hard drives, and media card readers does not account for interaction with intelligent systems.
Another important factor is the integration of sensors into peripheral devices to measure movement, distance, temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions. Microcontrollers transmit this data to the intelligent system. In some cases, model sizes are not yet efficient enough to operate on single-board computers. However, as models become more efficient, single-board computers will provide a suitable form factor for peripherals. This also expands the potential for augmented context in robotics.
