For example when you see someone you met before it could pop up a bubble telling you their name, their relationship to you, when you saw them last, previous topics that you’ve discussed with them, etc.

This legit sounds terrible. This sound like a world without meaningful social connections where people are cocooned into isolation by convenience technologies. You should just learn people's names. Even if it makes you a bit anxious because you are worried you will mess up details sometimes, it is better than that kind of loneliness.
