Wearable AI is Here!
The Humane Ai Pin a groundbreaking wearable device, presents an array of sophisticated features. Its design, reminiscent of an Apple Watch, features a rounded rectangular shape, crafted from aluminum with a Gorilla Glass touchpad. At its core is a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, accompanied by an "optical sensing capsule" and a 3D depth sensor. Powering the device is a magnetic system for attachment to clothing, relying on a detachable battery. This is part of Humane's "perpetual power system," allowing battery replacement as needed, though the duration of each battery is not specified.
A standout feature is the Laser Ink Display, a laser projector that casts information onto the user's hand, creating an interactive display in the absence of a standard screen. This feature is navigated through hand movements and finger taps. For interaction, the AI Pin includes an "Ai Mic" for voice commands and a "Personic Speaker" that envelopes the user in a sound bubble, capable of playing music, answering questions, and translating spoken words in real-time across multiple languages.
Photography and video recording are made seamless with a built-in 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera, operable via voice commands or gestures. Captured content can be accessed through the "Center" website, which also organizes notes, music, and reminders. The AI Pin also serves as a health and fitness assistant, tracking activity and nutritional goals and offering feedback on health metrics. Its cellular connectivity facilitates phone calls and text messaging through voice commands, with a focus on prioritizing trusted contacts. When the camera or microphone are active, a "Trust Light" signals recording to those around the user.
The Humane Ai Pin is priced at $699, and its functionality hinges on a $24 monthly subscription, necessary for accessing the Humane network powered by T-Mobile. This combination of features and pricing positions the AI Pin as a novel entrant in the personal AI technology space, blending advanced AI capabilities with a user-friendly, privacy-conscious design. US orders for the Humane AI Pin begin on November 16th.
