The Temple 01 wearable attaches directly to the user's temple using medical-grade adhesive tape and features week-long battery life without screens or cameras. Motion sensors detect voice vibrations to transcribe audio into text, completely avoiding ambient sound capture. Users operate the system by double tapping, accompanied by haptic feedback, to log notes, send messages, and set reminders securely. Placed near the superficial temporal artery, the device tracks heart rate, sleep, VO2 max, and is being developed to monitor core temperature and chewing.

Temple 01 is expected to begin shipping in early 2027 with AI and health-tracking features.
Announcing the device on X on Friday, Goyal said Temple emerged from a health wearable project he had been developing as a weekend experiment while he was still leading Eternal. An engineering breakthrough during the project prompted him to return to building full-time and launch Temple, he claimed.
The device uses motion sensors to detect vibrations generated by the wearer's voice and convert them into text, eliminating the need for a conventional microphone. Goyal has described the technology as the world's first “roomdeaf” voice AI companion, saying it can distinguish the wearer's voice from surrounding conversations and noise.
No microphone, no camera: How Temple works
Temple is designed to attach to the wearer's temple using medical-grade adhesive tapes called Grips. It has no microphone, camera or screen and is activated through a double tap. A small vibration confirms when it starts listening, while another signals when the interaction is complete.Goyal said the device is designed for continuous, multi-day…
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi initiated the response after widespread unauthorized system intrusions compromised domestic businesses and threatened client data. The strategy mobilizes public and private resources to counter advanced threats that are increasingly accelerated by artificial intelligence tools. Initial funding will draw directly from state reserves to immediately fortify national network defenses and support compromised entities.
Budget-conscious virtual reality enthusiasts can secure an entry-level standalone device at a significant discount by purchasing manufacturer-inspected stock through an official online storefront. The promotion lowers the financial barrier for players seeking modern hardware capabilities like full-color passthrough and current-generation processing power without requiring an external computer. Buyers must act quickly, however, as the specialized coupon markdown is scheduled to end on November 8.
The semiconductor manufacturer is strategically positioning itself to address the massive infrastructure demands generated by the artificial intelligence sector. By venturing into silicon photonics, the company aims to establish a foothold in advanced hardware architecture critical for processing next-generation workloads. This initiative reflects a broader industry movement to adapt chip fabrication capabilities for emerging high-performance computing requirements.
