Demo site: nothing here is for sale yet. Placing an order won’t charge you, and none of your information is collected. The idea behind it

aibao custom · A modular AI wearable

Pick a few boards.
Build a body of your own.

Each module is a small computer of its own.
Every board listed here is one I actually built, marked with how far it has really been tested.

Nothing is for sale yet, and prices aren’t set. You can try the cart and checkout, but checkout never charges you.

Illustrations drawn from the boards, not photos

Three steps to a set of your own.

How far each step has really got is written down too.

  1. All real boards

    Pick modules

    Choose from boards I actually built. Each one is marked with how far it has been tested, and its features are split into what’s been tested and what’s still a design goal.

  2. Placement is a suggestion

    Put them on your body, or nearby

    Each module only fits a few spots. Those spots are my suggestions — none of these boards has actually been worn yet.

  3. Partly still a design goal

    Make them work together

    What I’m aiming for: the hub listens to you, then has the other modules look, show something, or work a computer. So far one combination is wired up in the cloud, but it hasn’t been tested on real hardware:

    Design goal “Programming by speaking” isn’t built yet.

    The idea behind it is on aibao.fun

What’s been tested and what’s still an idea, kept apart.

Every module has one overall status, and each of its features is marked on its own as “tested on hardware” or “design goal”.

Module status

    The last two look the same on purpose: neither has a single feature verified on hardware, and “flashed” is no closer to working than “not on the board yet”.

    Each feature

      Every one of these boards was actually built.

      Statuses follow the project records; prices aren’t set yet. Open one to see every feature, spec and known issue.

      • Put them together

        In the builder, place modules on your body or nearby and see how many pieces a set takes.

        Start building

      Not sure where to start? Try one of these.

      Just combinations, no discounts. Pick one and the builder places the modules for you, then you change what you like.

        Things you might want to know.

        The most important one first: nothing here is for sale, and nothing about you is collected.

        No. This is a demo site: nothing is for sale and there are no prices. You can use the cart and checkout, but checkout ends with “Demo — you won’t be charged”. No money is taken, and what you type on the checkout page is never sent anywhere.

        Because I haven’t worked it out. Parts, cases, assembly and testing aren’t settled, so any number I put up now would be made up. Until they are, every module shows “Price TBD”.

        I haven’t taken them yet. The pictures are illustrations drawn from the boards, and each one is labelled “Illustration”. Photos will replace them once they exist.

        Works on real hardware: the project has a record of it working on a real board. Partly tested: some features were tested on a real board, others weren’t. Not yet tested: the firmware is on a board, or only written, but no feature has been checked on the hardware. Each module’s features are also marked one by one as “tested on hardware” or “design goal” — see the key above.

        No, not a single one yet. Collar, chest, waist and the other spots are my suggestions. I don’t know yet what goes wrong once they’re really worn.

        These are first-version prototypes with no security hardening. Don’t use them for anything private or important: don’t point the camera at anything you wouldn’t want shared, and don’t let the screen-and-keyboard module near accounts that matter.

        Nothing. Your cart, your build and the language you picked live only in your own browser’s localStorage; the server doesn’t know what’s in them. What you type on the checkout page stays on that page: it isn’t sent to the server and isn’t saved. No cookies, no tracking, and the server logs don’t keep IP addresses. Whether the site opens in Chinese or English is decided by the server checking, on its own, whether your IP is from mainland China; the result is thrown away, not stored, and not sent to anyone.

        Pick a few.
        Lay out a set of your own.

        Try arranging them in the builder first. Nothing for sale, no payments, and none of your information collected.
