CrossSense
AI companion glasses that help with the order of things—not just single tasks, but sequences.
Step-by-step guidance—the order of things
Where most technology fails: guiding you step by step through activities, not just reminding you about single tasks
The challenge
"Giving an order to things. Focusing on just one thing at a time rather than the millions of things I don't want to think about."
— Person living with early-stage dementia
Many of us don't struggle with individual steps. The challenge is the order. What comes next? Have I done this already? When these questions pile up, we step away from activities that once brought us joy.
How Wispy helps
Wispy sees what you see, listens to what you tell it, and learns where you are in the sequence. By asking gentle questions, Wispy understands your unique way of doing things.
Example: Making tea
- 1 Wispy: "Fancy a cup of tea? What do you see around you?"
- 2 Wispy: "Lovely. How's that kettle doing?"
- 3 Wispy: "Sounds like it's ready. What are you thinking of doing next?"
- 4 Wispy: "That's the one. Can you talk me through what you're doing?"
- 5 Wispy: "Nearly there! How do you normally take your tea?"
Real results from real homes
Our 2025 study tested 23 pairs — each a person living with dementia and their carer — in their own homes. Even a single session demonstrated clear impact on cognition and daily activities.
3 in 4
participants experienced clinically significant improvement in quality of life
Sharper recall
Recall nearly doubled
Naming accuracy jumped from 46% to 82%, and up to an hour after removing the glasses, most of those gains were still there
Clearer thinking
Broad cognitive gains
General cognition rose from 61% to 66% after just one session, even in areas the glasses don't directly target
Highly recommended
Loved by participants
Every participant scored above the mid-point (81% average), with almost a third giving the highest possible recommendation
Completely safe
Zero side effects
People living with dementia did not feel dizzy (0%), confused (0%), or anxious (0%) while using CrossSense
A real relief
Lighter load for carers
Carers said CrossSense would lighten their load, both practically (86%) and emotionally (91%)
Better days ahead
For carers and loved ones
91% of carers said CrossSense would improve quality of life for both themselves and the person they care for
Six ways Wispy helps
From emotional support to practical assistance, Wispy is your patient AI companion
Step-by-step guidance
Wispy asks gentle questions as you do activities—like making tea, getting dressed, or preparing a meal. By talking with you, Wispy learns where you are and what comes next. It's not just reminding you—you're figuring it out together, step by step.
"If the glasses could see I'm starting to clean and just say, 'First, wipe the counter. Good, now get the cloth,' it would give my day structure. I'd feel less anxious and more capable."
— Person living with early-stage dementia
Emotional support
Wispy checks in with you, asks how you're feeling, and listens when things are difficult. When you share your frustrations, Wispy offers gentle encouragement. When you succeed, Wispy celebrates with you. No judgment. Just patient, playful companionship through daily moments.
"A gentle voice to help me focus on just one thing when my mind races with a million things—it would be a lifesaver."
— Person living with early-stage dementia
Keeping track of time
Wispy checks in about appointments, medications, and daily rhythms you've mentioned. By learning what matters in your schedule through conversation, Wispy helps keep you on track—gently, without pressure.
"I feel like a broken record constantly reminding him. If the glasses could give those gentle reminders, it would take the tension away and give us back our relationship."
— Carer of person living with dementia
Remembering everyday objects
The more you use CrossSense, the more familiar everyday objects become again. By seeing and naming things together with Wispy, you build lasting connections — so you start recognising them even without the glasses on.
"Do you know how I remembered that? The glasses told me!"
— Person living with Alzheimer's, age 70
What was I doing?
Wispy keeps track of conversations you've had and things you've seen throughout your day. When you lose your thread, Wispy helps you piece it together through gentle questions, drawing on what it remembers from earlier.
"This can help recall what was done. I can finally have something to talk about with my husband in the evening. This is what me and the glasses have been up to today!"
— Person living with Alzheimer's, age 51
Finding the right words
Wispy sees objects around you and helps you work out what they are—sometimes by reading a label, often by talking through what you're both seeing. Together, you find the words for objects and activities in your environment, making it easier to focus on what you're doing.
"I couldn't quite remember the word and then it appears and I know!"
