ItemCompass: Real-Time Edge-AI Wearable Vision for Tag-Free Domestic Object Retrieval
摘要
Misplacing household objects disrupts daily routines, especially for elderly users. ItemCompass addresses this with a real-time, tag-free wearable AR system that builds a persistent digital twin of the home for natural language object retrieval. A custom eyewear node streams visual and inertial data to an edge server, where YOLOv11n detection, Siamese re-identification, and a Pedestrian Dead Reckoning engine log object locations as Spatial Anchors in InfluxDB. Voice queries are resolved by a local Faster-Whisper and Qwen2 LLM pipeline, delivering concise spoken and AR guidance on a heads-up display. Evaluation shows 0.40 m localization drift, 97.5% step precision, and mAP@0.5 of 0.874, with users rating Accuracy and Trust at 4.6/5.0. The system highlights always-on sensing, conversational spatial memory, and privacy-by-design for wearable computing.
