TDK AIsight is a core technology platform that enables context-aware vision, memory, and low-power on-device AI for smart glasses.^[1] It is a systems‑solution under TDK focused on AI glasses and “physical AI,” combining custom DSPs, cameras, sensors, and eye‑intent algorithms.^[2] The core chip is the SED0112, a tiny 4.6 mm square DSP with an integrated CNN engine optimized for eye‑intent/eye‑tracking and low‑power vision processing.^[3] The platform is meant to anchor reference designs for AI glasses, AR/social‑media glasses, and industrial eyewear by tying together IMUs, MEMS mics, haptics, and TDK’s full‑color laser display modules.^[4]

Eye-intent turns highly sensitive gaze data into a powerful surveillance and profiling signal, with privacy, consent, and discrimination risks.^[5][6][7]

• Eye tracking can reveal what you look at, for how long, and in what sequence, which correlates with attention, preferences, and sometimes emotional state.^[7]
• High‑resolution eye trackers often capture iris images and facial features, so they double as biometric identifiers and can be used to spoof or attack iris‑based authentication.^[8]
• From gaze patterns, models can infer demographics, cognitive load, personality traits, health status, political leanings, or sexual orientation, even if users never explicitly disclose those attributes.^[9]
