With the advancement of deep learning and neural networks, the computational demands for applications in wearable devices have grown exponentially. However, wearable devices also have strict requirements for long battery life, low power consumption, and compact size. In this work, we propose a scalable optoelectronic computing system based on an integrated optical convolution acceleration core. This system enables high-precision computation at the speed of light, achieving 7-bit accuracy while maintaining extremely low power consumption. It also demonstrates peak throughput of 3.2 TOPS (tera operations per second) in parallel processing. We have successfully demonstrated image convolution and the typical application of an interactive first-person perspective gesture recognition application based on depth information. The system achieves a comparable recognition accuracy to traditional electronic computation in all blind tests.

A miniaturized short-wavelength infrared spectrometer for use with diffuse light was created by combining a thin form factor carbon nanotube composite collimator, a linear variable filter, and an InGaAs photodiode array. The resulting spectrometer measures 3 mm × 4 mm × 14 mm and shows a significant improvement in resolution over a spectrometer without the collimator when used with diffuse light. Its small size and high throughput make it ideal for applications such as wearable optical sensing, where light from highly scattering tissue is measured. Plethysmographic measurements on the wrist were demonstrated, showing rapid data collection with diffuse light.

Flexible and wearable humidity sensors play a vital role in daily point-of-care diagnosis and noncontact human-machine interactions. However, achieving a facile and high-speed fabrication approach to realizing flexible humidity sensors remains a challenge. In this work, a wearable capacitive-type Ga2O3/liquid metal-based humidity sensor is demonstrated by a one-step laser direct writing technique. Owing to the photothermal effect of laser, the Ga2O3-wrapped liquid metal particles can be selectively sintered and converted from insulative to conductive traces with a resistivity of 0.19 Ω·cm, while the untreated regions serve as active sensing layers in response to moisture changes. Under 95% relative humidity, the humidity sensor displays a highly stable performance along with rapid response and recover time. Utilizing these superior properties, the Ga2O3/liquid metal-based humidity sensor is able to monitor human respiration rate, as well as skin moisture of the palm under different physiological states for healthcare monitoring.
