TL;DR: Humane, a tech startup led by former Apple designer Imran Chaudhri, has launched the $700 Ai Pin, a standalone AI device with a “Laser Ink Display” that projects information onto the user’s hand. The device, resembling an Apple Watch, features a detachable battery for a “perpetual power system,” a 3D depth sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, Ai Mic for voice interactions, and a 13-megapixel camera. Despite technological achievements, user reactions on MacRumors are mixed, expressing concerns about practicality and functionality. Orders start in the U.S. on November 16, with a $24 monthly subscription for Humane’s network. (via ChatGPT)
I can’t imagine this replacing a/my smartphone right now, but it’s interesting to have a different form factor for an AI-first device.
I’m curious if it’s a fit for older people, since the interface is mostly/entirely voice.
