RUVI XR LABS / PRODUCT 01 — MEMO

Remember what matters.
Get help when you need it.

MEMO is AI assistance for everyday life, built for smart glasses. It answers questions about what you are looking at, remembers the moments you choose, and connects you with a trusted person when AI is not enough.

01 — THE PROBLEM

Memory should be
there when it matters.

We already carry cameras everywhere, yet the moments that matter are rarely where we need them. MEMO explores what changes when the system is present with you — and honest about what it does not know.

Recorded, not retrievable

We capture more than ever, but recall depends on searching the right device at the right time.

Search assumes you know

Questions like “where did I leave my keys?” do not start with a query. They start with a situation.

Documents are not observations

Generic assistants reason over text. They cannot tell you what you actually saw.

02 — WHO IT HELPS

Too much to remember
isn’t an age.

MEMO started with older adults and the families who support them. The same problem shows up in anyone carrying too much in their head — so the same companion helps both, on the wearer’s terms.

FOR ANYONE WITH TOO MUCH TO TRACK

Offload the
small things.

  • Where you parked, where you put the spare key, what the router password was.
  • What someone told you in passing — saved as your own voice note.
  • Reminders tied to a place, not only a time: “when I pass the pharmacy”.
  • Fewer half-remembered details competing for attention.

WHEN IT HELPS

“Where did I park?” — answered from the photo you saved this morning.

FOR OLDER ADULTS

Stay independent,
on your terms.

  • Find the things you put down, from the moment you saved them.
  • Hear back what the doctor or nurse said, in your own voice note.
  • Appointments and medication reminders, delivered by the glasses.
  • Help one phrase away — without being watched.

WHEN IT HELPS

“What did the nurse say about the new tablets?” — your note from Tuesday.

FOR FAMILY & CARERS

Peace of mind,
without checking in.

  • Fewer “where did I put…” calls; more of the calls that matter.
  • Called only when help is asked for, in the order the wearer chose.
  • You see what is shared on the call — not their saved moments.
  • Set up together; controlled by the person wearing it.

WHEN IT HELPS

Anna gets a call when her mum asks for help — not a feed of her day.

03 — HOW IT WORKS

Save it on purpose.
Ask for it later.

The same six steps as the shared Ruvi stack. Every answer follows one discipline: capture only when asked, answer from what was saved, and say so when nothing was.

  1. 01

    See

    When you say “MEMO, remember this”, the glasses capture a short clip, photo or voice note — and nothing in between.

  2. 02

    Understand

    MEMO works out what is in the moment: the object, the place, the words that were said.

  3. 03

    Remember

    The moment is saved with its time and place, in your MEMO app, under your control.

  4. 04

    Know

    Saved moments, voice notes and reminders are connected, so one question can draw on all of them.

  5. 05

    Assist

    Ask out loud. The answer comes back spoken, with the saved moment it came from.

  6. 06

    Escalate

    If nothing was saved, MEMO says so instead of guessing — and can call someone you trust.

04 — THE COMPANION APP

Everything MEMO keeps,
in your pocket.

The glasses capture; the phone is where you look back. Browse the moments you chose to keep, find where you put things, replay voice notes, set reminders, and manage who MEMO can call for help.

TRY ITTap something to say to the glasses — the phone reacts the way the real app would.

ON SCREEN

Memories — Moments you chose to keep.

Short clips and photos, captured only when you ask. Open one to replay the original moment, not a summary of it.

Illustrative interface. Clips, locations, and contacts are placeholders — nothing is recorded or stored.

05 — USE CASES

Questions asked
in the real world.

MEMO is designed for situations where reaching for a screen is the wrong move — walking, carrying, fixing, or simply paying attention to what is in front of you.

06 — YOUR CONTROL

Your memory,
on your word.

A camera in everyday life has to earn its place. MEMO saves only what you ask it to, shows you what it saved, and keeps it yours. See the shared stack.

  1. 01 · IDLE

    Not recording

    Glasses on. Camera and mics off.

  2. 02 · YOU ASK

    “MEMO, remember this.”

    Light on the frame, tone in your ear.

  3. 03 · SAVED

    In your MEMO app

    With its time and place. Forget it any time.

  4. 04 · YOU ASK AGAIN

    “Where did I…?”

    Answered from what you saved — or “nothing saved”.

FIG. 06.1 — NOTHING IS CAPTURED UNTIL YOU ASK
  1. 01

    Records only when you ask.

    Capture starts with “MEMO, remember this” or a tap, and stops when the moment is saved. No background recording, no always-on tracking.

    VOICE OR TAP · NOTHING IN BETWEEN
  2. 02

    Everyone around you can tell.

    A light on the frame and a tone in your ear whenever the camera or microphone is capturing — visible to family, guests and passers-by too.

    LIGHT · TONE · NO SILENT CAPTURE
  3. 03

    Forget it with one phrase.

    “MEMO, forget that” deletes the moment you just saved. Anything older can be deleted from the app, one moment or all of them.

    DELETE BY VOICE OR IN THE APP
  4. 04

    Your memories stay yours.

    Saved moments live in your MEMO app. Nothing is shared unless you share it — not with family, not with the people on your help list.

    PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
  5. 05

    Help only when you ask for it.

    People on your help list are called only when you say so. They see what you share during that call, and nothing after it ends.

    NO REMOTE CAMERA ACCESS
  6. 06

    Shows its source, admits gaps.

    Answers point back to the moment they came from. If nothing was saved, MEMO says so instead of guessing.

    EVIDENCE OVER SUMMARIES

MEMO WILL NEVER

  • Record in the background
  • Track where you go
  • Share your memories without you
  • Let anyone switch on your camera

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK US

Is it recording all the time?

No. MEMO captures only when you ask — by voice or a tap — and the light on the frame shows when it does.

Why not just record everything?

We tried it. Always-on capture drains the battery fast and records people who never agreed to it. Saving moments on purpose is the design, not a limitation — and it keeps answers grounded in what you chose to keep.

What about the people around me?

The light and tone make capture visible, and moments are short and saved on purpose. MEMO doesn’t follow or identify the people around you.

Can my family see what I saved?

Not unless you share it. The people on your help list are called when you ask for help and see only what you share on that call.

How do I delete something?

Say “MEMO, forget that” right after saving, or delete any moment from the app — one at a time or all at once.

07 — EARLY ACCESS

Help shape MEMO.

We're building MEMO with the people who'll use it. Ask for early access to the prototype, or join the studies that decide what it remembers, how it speaks, and what it never does.

  • WhoAnyone who loses track of things — people living with memory changes, their families and carers, and busy minds.
  • WhatRemote interviews first, then short at-home sessions with the prototype as units become available.
  • Your dataStudy recordings only with your OK, kept for the study, deleted on request. Leave any time.
