Glasses use sonar, AI to interpret upper body poses in 3D | Cornell Chronicle

“When we have lots of data through body-sensing technology like PoseSonic, it can help us be more mindful of ourselves and our behaviors.”

I don't really understand what benefit he's proposing here. It'll stop me slouching or it'll help someone not stand too close to people? No idea.

I think this would be pretty cool for those that are blind but could see a screen in front of them.

Yeah I can't wait to use these glasses to replace my glasses.
