Introducing AI Pin: Humane’s Revolutionary Wearable Device Redefining Technology
In 2018, Imran Chaudhri, a renowned Apple designer, and Bethany Bongiorno, former Director of Software Engineering at Apple, decided to take their expertise and start their own company. They called it Humane, and since its inception, it has experienced remarkable success.
Humane proudly labels itself as the first comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software platform, with a bold vision to transform the role of technology in people’s lives. This week, they are introducing their latest innovation, a portable device called AI Pin. This small wearable device has the ability to project its interface onto various surfaces, offering unique capabilities without the need for a smartphone.
At the recent TED 2023 conference in Vancouver, Chaudhri demonstrated the power of Humane’s AI platform through the AI Pin. This remarkable device can perform a range of functions, including call projections, real-time translations, and health monitoring. Its square design allows it to magnetically attach to clothing, utilizing a customized version of the T Mobile network. Powered by AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI, AI Pin’s key innovation lies in its mini projector, setting it apart from traditional screen-based devices.
The mini projector enables AI Pin to display information, while also featuring a built-in 13-megapixel camera and speaker for call functions. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and close collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., AI Pin touts cutting-edge technology.
To enhance its capabilities, AI Pin is supported by AI Mic software, which connects the device to AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI. This integration provides advanced options, ranging from language translation to food identification.
Excitingly, AI Pin will be available for pre-order starting from November 16, with shipments expected to commence in early 2024. The device comes with a price tag of $699, and users will also need to subscribe to a monthly fee of $24 to access its full functionality.
Overall, Humane’s AI Pin represents a significant leap forward in wearable technology. Its impressive features, such as the mini projector, camera, and AI integration, redefine how users interact with their devices. With its sleek design and innovative capabilities, AI Pin is set to revolutionize the way we incorporate technology into our daily lives.
