Humane, a company founded by ex-Apple employees, has launched the Ai Pin, a wearable device which could be a smartphone alternative. This tiny gadget clips onto your clothes, allowing you to make calls, send messages, translate languages, and browse online.
Humane AI Pin Price
Priced at $699, the company said that the Ai Pin will be available for pre-order in the United States from November 16. The company told Wired the device will start shipping in early 2024.
According to Reuters, “Humane is one of many Silicon Valley companies racing to develop the next generation of consumer electronics. But Humane has distanced itself from the mixed-reality headsets being developed by companies like Apple and Meta, with co-founder and President Imran Chaudhri saying earlier this year, ‘The future is not on your face.'”
What is Humane AI Pin and how it works?
The Ai Pin device is wearable in two parts: a square device and a battery pack that magnetically attaches to your clothes or other surfaces. In addition to that price, there’s also the $24 monthly fee for a Humane subscription, which gets you a phone number and data coverage through T-Mobile’s network.
The Ai Pin uses a combination of voice controls, touch controls, and a camera to sense the user’s intentions. It also has a tiny projector that can be used to display information on the user’s hand. The Ai Pin is powered by technologies from ChatGPT-creator OpenAI and cloud computing power from Microsoft.
Humane said that the Ai Pin is designed to be more convenient and less distracting than smartphones. The Ai Pin is always on and ready to use, so you don’t have to fumble to take out your phone when you need it.
As per Reuters, Humane is offering a device with no traditional screen that relies almost entirely on artificial intelligence to interact with the user.
The Pin also includes a camera that can take pictures or use computer vision to scan objects like food, telling the user an estimate of its nutritional content.
