Social Interactions User Journey with Seymour
Carol spends her afternoon in the community park, a place she frequents for fresh air and light walks. As she sits on a bench, enjoying the gentle breeze, Seymour, her smart eyewear AI, is ever-vigilant, scanning the surroundings.
Familiar Face Recognition:
As a figure approaches, Seymour quickly scans the person's face, cross-referencing Carol's social media, photos, and its local database. It recognizes the individual as Emily, Carol's granddaughter. Seymour discreetly informs Carol, "Carol, your granddaughter Emily is coming towards you. Remember the summer picnics you both enjoyed here?" This prompt not only informs Carol of the approaching loved one but also stimulates her memory with a positive recall, enriching the imminent interaction.

Encountering an Unrecognized Individual:
Later, as Carol makes her way to the local store, a person approaches her with a friendly demeanor, yet this face isn't in Seymour's immediate local resources. Noting the person's speed and trajectory, Seymour assesses there's sufficient time to assist Carol in this social interaction. The AI quickly sifts through its extended database for any past encounters but finds no match.

Given the new interaction, Seymour switches to observational mode, listening for cues. The individual greets Carol, "Hi Carol, I'm Alex, the new cashier." Seymour captures Alex's name through voice recognition and, using OCR technology, confirms the name from the name tag. It also logs the store's location through GPS.
If Carol engages with a phrase like "nice to meet you, Alex," Seymour discreetly records this interaction for future reference, associating Alex's face, name, and context. This way, Seymour can recognize Alex in future encounters, enhancing Carol's social navigation.
Reinforcing Family Bonds:
Back at the park, another figure approaches rapidly, not giving Seymour enough lead time for a detailed prompt. Recognizing the person as Carol's son from the local resources, Seymour swiftly informs Carol, "Here comes Michael, your son." This time, the quick identification allows Carol to greet her son by name confidently, fostering a smooth and joyful reunion.

Navigating New Social Encounters:
In scenarios where Seymour detects an approaching individual not recognized from any resources, it remains attentive, ready to assist Carol based on the interaction's context. For example, if a neighbor Carol hasn't met before approaches at a community event, Seymour, detecting Carol's hesitation, might offer a supportive nudge, "This might be someone new, Carol. A friendly hello can start the conversation."
