Niantic Spatial, in collaboration with Snap Inc. and Hume AI, is advancing the field of augmented reality by integrating spatial intelligence with emotionally aware AI to create location-aware companions for AR glasses. Their flagship project, Project Jade, features a companion named Dot, which guides users through the physical world using a deep understanding of context and natural dialogue. The initiative is built on three key pillars: first-person awareness through AR glasses, context-rich storytelling, and emotional intelligence, allowing Dot to deliver personalized and engaging interactions. Hume AI's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) provides the emotionally adaptive voice that enables Dot to respond with enthusiasm or calmness depending on the user's engagement level. This partnership transforms digital maps from static tools into lively companions, enhancing user interaction with their environment by combining Niantic Spatial's geospatial AI, Snap's AR technology, and Hume's voice capabilities.
