VisionClaw: Always-On AI Agents through Smart Glasses

We present VisionClaw, an always-on wearable AI agent that integrates live egocentric perception with agentic task execution. Running on Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, VisionClaw continuously perceives real-world context and enables in-situ, speech-driven action initiation and delegation via OpenClaw AI agents. Therefore, users can directly execute tasks through the smart glasses, such as adding real-world objects to an Amazon cart, generating notes from physical documents, receiving meeting briefings on the go, creating events from posters, or controlling IoT devices. We evaluate VisionClaw through a controlled laboratory study (N=12) and a longitudinal deployment study (N=5). Results show that integrating perception and execution enables faster task completion and reduces interaction overhead compared to non-always-on and non-agent baselines. Beyond performance gains, deployment findings reveal a shift in interaction: tasks are initiated opportunistically during ongoing activities, and execution is increasingly delegated rather than manually controlled. These results suggest a new paradigm for wearable AI agents, where perception and action are continuously coupled to support situated, hands-free interaction.

Reality Proxy: Fluid Interactions with Real-World Objects in MR via Abstract Representations

Interacting with real-world objects in Mixed Reality (MR) often proves difficult when they are crowded, distant, or partially occluded, hindering straightforward selection and manipulation. We observe that these difficulties stem from performing interaction directly on physical objects, where input is tightly coupled to their physical constraints. Our key insight is to decouple interaction from these constraints by introducing proxies-abstract representations of real-world objects. We embody this concept in Reality Proxy, a system that seamlessly shifts interaction targets from physical objects to their proxies during selection. Beyond facilitating basic selection, Reality Proxy uses AI to enrich proxies with semantic attributes and hierarchical spatial relationships of their corresponding physical objects, enabling novel and previously cumbersome interactions in MR - such as skimming, attribute-based filtering, navigating nested groups, and complex multi object selections - all without requiring new gestures or menu systems. We demonstrate Reality Proxy's versatility across diverse scenarios, including office information retrieval, large-scale spatial navigation, and multi-drone control. An expert evaluation suggests the system's utility and usability, suggesting that proxy-based abstractions offer a powerful and generalizable interaction paradigm for future MR systems.

Augmenting Human Cognition through Everyday AR

As spatial computing and multimodal LLMs mature, AR is tending to become an intuitive "thinking tool," embedding semantic and context-aware intelligence directly into everyday environments. This paper explores how always-on AR can seamlessly bridge digital cognition and physical affordances, enabling proactive, context-sensitive interactions that enhance human task performance and understanding.
