Lantern: Model anything

Lantern: Model anything

Lantern is an AI-powered mobile application that transforms a standard smartphone into a real-time 3D scanner using entirely on-device inference. Users simply point their phone at an object and walk around it for approximately 30 seconds while Lantern estimates depth, tracks camera motion, reconstructs geometry, and generates a dimensionally accurate 3D mesh, all without sending data to the cloud. Built with ExecuTorch, Lantern demonstrates how edge AI can deliver fast, private, and offline 3D reconstruction on consumer smartphones. By eliminating the need for expensive LiDAR hardware, external computers, or cloud processing, Lantern makes high-quality 3D scanning more accessible to engineers, designers, makers, researchers, and students. The generated 3D models can be used for reverse engineering, CAD workflows, rapid prototyping, digital asset creation, manufacturing, and AR/VR applications. Lantern showcases the power of on-device AI by combining computer vision, monocular depth estimation, and real-time 3D reconstruction into a seamless mobile experience. Our goal is to make professional-quality 3D scanning available to anyone with a smartphone while preserving user privacy and enabling low-latency performance through efficient edge inference.

Memory Recall Assistant

Memory Recall Assistant

Memory Recall Assistant is a fully on-device, multimodal AI memory aid designed for people with early-to-mid stage cognitive decline. The app runs continuously in the background, periodically capturing context through the camera and microphone. When the user presses Recall while looking at someone, the app identifies the person using CavaFace face embeddings (w8a16 quantized, ~99.5% accuracy on LFW benchmark), retrieves stored conversation history transcribed by Whisper-Small-Quantized, and generates a warm, natural memory cue using Llama 3.2 1B Instruct - all within seconds and entirely offline. A key design innovation is center crop targeting: rather than identifying the largest or highest-confidence face in frame, the app identifies the face closest to the center of the camera frame - the person the user is actively talking to, not a bystander. This makes identification intentional and natural, and extends directly to Meta AI Glasses where the camera points where the user looks. All sensitive data - face embeddings, conversation transcripts, location context - is stored on-device in a local SQLite knowledge graph and never transmitted anywhere. The system functions fully in airplane mode, demonstrating that privacy-sensitive AI for vulnerable populations is not only possible on mobile hardware - it is better this way. There is no server to breach, no API to call, and no company holding your family's data.

PrivateDoc

PrivateDoc

PrivateDoc is an offline, on-device document intelligence assistant designed for sensitive personal paperwork, running on a Samsung S25 Ultra phone powered by Qualcomm SnapDragon. It combines ML Kit OCR, ExecuTorch, MiniLM semantic retrieval, and an on-device Llama 3.2 1B LLM to scan, classify, index, and answer questions about prescriptions, contracts, bills, IDs, and other documents without requiring an Internet connection. A strict retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline ensures every response is grounded in retrieved OCR evidence, with supporting text highlighted on the original document to improve transparency and reduce hallucinations. By performing OCR, retrieval, and language generation entirely on the device, PrivateDoc preserves user privacy while delivering fast, reliable, and source-backed document understanding.

EchoWalk: On-Device Guidance for Low-Vision Users

EchoWalk: On-Device Guidance for Low-Vision Users

Imagine walking through an unfamiliar room with your eyes closed. You need to know what is ahead, what is around you, and how to reach the chair someone mentioned — without cloud latency or sending your camera feed anywhere. EchoWalk is built for that moment. On a Galaxy S25 Ultra, one shared camera pipeline feeds a central ModeManager that decides when to warn, when to describe, and when to search — all on the Snapdragon NPU via ExecuTorch and Qualcomm QNN. Safety Radar runs continuously. Depth Anything V2 and YOLOv10 fuse on the Hexagon NPU: not just what is there, but how far and whether it is a trip hazard or a wall you can trail. Spatial audio and haptics place obstacles in space; a VoiceWarningEngine speaks when it matters. A live bounding-box overlay helps sighted helpers follow along in demos. Scene Description is on demand — tap the preview, the Describe button, or long-press Volume Up. A short burst of frames runs through a Places365 classifier and pairs the room label with live YOLO directions: "You appear to be in a living room — couch on your left, TV ahead." Auto-describe announces stable scene changes hands-free. The full SmolVLM-500M stack is integrated and validated through handoff scripts; richer VLM captions are ready for the next aligned build. Find Mode is voice-first. Long-press Volume Down, say "find the bottle," and the app maps your words to everyday object labels. It scans the room, guides you turn by turn, warns about obstacles in your path, highlights the target on screen, and remembers where it last saw it so the next search starts with a hint. Accessibility is front and center: lock-screen access, screen-on at launch, spoken onboarding with a first orientation from live radar, eyes-free volume shortcuts, and double-tap to repeat your last description. No cloud. No upload. Your home never leaves your pocket.
