Would you wear this AI pin? Imran Chaudhri designed with Apple for 21 years but moved on to create the Ai Pin. We first heard about Humane’s Ai Pin last spring, we now know more and have a release date. Touted to be something like an AI assistant that can replace your smartphones.
Similar to some other cutting edge Apple products; the Verge questions “it’s not yet entirely clear what you’re supposed to use it for.”
More from the Verge:
The AI Pin is powered by a Snapdragon processor — though it’s not clear which one — and you control it with a combination of voice control, a camera, gestures, and a small built-in projector. The Pin itself weighs about 34 grams, and the “battery booster” adds another 20. The built-in camera takes 13-megapixel photos and will capture video as well after a software update.
What Humane is trying to do with the Pin is essentially strip away all the interface cruft from your technology. It won’t have a homescreen or lots of settings and accounts to manage; the idea is that you can just talk to or touch the Pin, say what you want to do or know, and it’ll happen automatically. Over the last year, we’ve seen a huge amount of functionality become available through a simple text command to a chatbot; Humane’s trying to build a gadget in the same spirit.
