There is no hardware format I can imagine that would make sense for something like this.

Maybe that's just my limited imagination, but since no one has made anything useful in this space...

If drones weren't incredibly noisy and battery wasn't so scarce, a floating personal assistant orb w/ video and mic input and a speaker/audio output, sort of a modern techno take on the fairy Navi from the series Zelda would be great.

The insta360 content-creator camera kind of functions like this but, instead of floating, people hold it away from their body on a stick all day

The fairy Navi who is famously annoying and who everyone wishes they could literally murder?

A fob on a lanyard would work well I think. It would be nerdy as hell, but in a practical sense, it's better than carrying around another phone-like thing or wearing something on your face.
