In partnership with Snap Inc. (hardware) and Hume AI (voice), Niantic Spatial has developed location-aware companions for Spectacles, blending Snap Inc.’s AR glasses, Niantic Spatial’s Large Geospatial Model, and Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) for natural, emotionally intelligent conversation. Niantic Spatial, the team pioneering AI that understands the physical world, is showcasing a compelling glimpse of what can happen when spatial intelligence and augmented reality meet.

Our collaboration with Revelum creates a critical feedback loop for responsible AI development: Early Access to EVI: Revelum trains their models on Hume's cutting-edge voice technology, ensuring detection capabilities stay ahead of emerging threats before they reach malicious actors. Continuous Refinement: As Hume's emotionally intelligent voices become more sophisticated, Revelum's detection algorithms evolve in parallel. “By partnering with Hume, we’re taking a vital step toward building technology that anticipates — not just reacts to — the evolving tactics of bad actors seeking to misuse powerful models. Together, we’re staying one step ahead in ensuring generative AI is used responsibly.”

As Inception Point scales to thousands of AI personalities, they chose Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) to deliver across three critical capabilities: Real Expressiveness: Their AI hosts need to not only read the script, but build a genuine relationship with their audience. EVI brings emotional intelligence and personality to every episode, transforming basic narration into an engaging conversation. Enterprise Scalability: Producing 3,000+ episodes weekly demands consistent, high-quality voices that don't degrade under volume. EVI maintains studio-grade audio fidelity whether Inception Point is creating 50 episodes or 50,000. Multi-Format Ready: As Inception Point expands beyond podcasting into short-form video, social media content, and interactive experiences, EVI provides voices that work across every medium.
