(A slightly unhinged founder’s vision statement)
I’ve always believed that the future is worn, not just witnessed.
Maybe that belief started back when I was slinging yachts and convincing rich people to buy floating mansions out of the Acronis office. Maybe it solidified when I strapped a literal toaster to my head in the early VR days, running around looking like a Marge Simpson who let her hair loose one too many times.
Now?
Now I’m galloping into the next technological frontier, cowboy hat firmly planted, building AI wearables that make your so-called “smart glasses” look like a couple of cyborg lenses duct-taped together.
And why do I have to pay so darn much too?
But hold onto your cowboy hats, because we’re not just stopping at fancy glasses. We’re partnering with a secret Singaporean space company (yes, secret, because real innovation happens before the press releases) to meld satellite data with AI-powered POV (point-of-view) wearables.
Think: real-time geospatial intelligence, AI-enhanced mapping, and augmented satellite insights on-demand.
The wild (tech) west of AI wearables + satellite data
AI + satellite data = God mode for reality
Imagine wearing AI glasses that don’t just enhance what’s in front of you, they pull real-time insights from space.
- Walking through a city? Get instant structural integrity scans of buildings, see where traffic is forming before it happens.
- Working in agriculture? Get crop health insights from a combo of satellite imaging + AI-powered environmental scanning on your morning stroll.
- Disaster response? Our AI-powered wearables will integrate live satellite feeds, terrain analytics, and predictive models for first responders.
- Defense and security? POV glasses that sync satellite positioning with AI-driven geospatial overlays for real-time tactical intelligence.
- POV data-as-a-service? Training AI models for robotics, accessibility tech, and industry application.
Private AI networks that don’t spy on you (looking at you, big tech )
We’re building AI wearables with private, secure AI-driven analytics that don’t sell your data to the highest bidder.
Ugh, you know what is better?
- Enterprise dashboards: Custom, industry-specific intelligence feeds for logistics, security, and urban planning.
- Anonymised data processing: No big-brother surveillance nonsense. Just pure AI-enhanced insights processed on-device.
- Live risk assessments: Our AI models will analyse satellite and POV data in real time, detecting environmental risks, supply chain disruptions, and infrastructure weaknesses as they happen.

R&D: The cowboy code meets deep tech
We’re not just putting a new screen on your face. We’re not, really we are not. We’re looking at herding geospatial AI into uncharted territory. What we would like to do:
- Joint R&D with a Singaporean space lab to develop never-before-seen geospatial AI applications.
- Smart city integrations: Real-time mapping, terrain analysis, and energy efficiency tracking via AI glasses with our POV data.
- Pioneering new Earth observation models: Because why stop at seeing the world when you can remap it from orbit?
Why this partnership changes everything
By collaborating with Singapore’s most cutting-edge space innovators, we’re not just building another Metaverse company. (Did that word die yet?) We’re making Singapore the leader in AI-powered spatial intelligence. An industry-defining move that unlocks new revenue streams across geospatial analytics, wearables, robotics and defense-grade satellite monitoring.
We’re taking AI glasses from “Hey, that’s a cool party trick. Too bad that AI isn’t allowed in Singapore” to “Holy cow, this is a battlefield-grade intelligence engine that fits on my face.”
And yes, I’ll absolutely be demoing this while rocking my cowboy hat, reminiscing about my toaster-on-head days, and gearing up for the future of wearable tech that actually does something useful.
And we need space to do this here on earth.
It won’t happen overnight.
Building the future takes time, just like training a Paris 2020 Olympic Gymnast from age 12 in Singapore straight out of Toa Payoh.
But our slightly unhinged, ridiculously ambitious team is all geared up and ready to roll.
Let’s make history.
And look damn good doing it.
