A Wearable Smartphone Without a Screen
Humane’s foray into wearable technology takes a bold step with the AI Pin. Priced at $699, this square-shaped device is not your typical wearable. Think of it as a smartphone without a screen, challenging the traditional norms of device design. The exclusive leak suggests that the Pin attaches magnetically to clothing or surfaces, making it versatile and easy to incorporate into daily life.
A Glimpse into the Features
The Humane AI Pin boasts a range of features that set it apart in the wearable tech landscape. The device, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, utilizes a combination of camera, depth, and motion sensors to track and record its surroundings. The inclusion of a “personic speaker” and Bluetooth headphone connectivity enhances its audio capabilities. Intriguingly, the absence of a screen necessitated creative ways to interact with the Pin. Primarily voice-based, the Pin introduces a green laser projector that projects information onto the user’s hand. Additionally, users can employ gestures by holding objects up to the camera, thanks to a touchpad embedded in the device.
Subscription Model
At the core of the Humane AI Pin experience is the Humane Subscription, priced at $24 per month. This subscription transforms the Pin into a fully standalone device, distinct from being a mere smartphone accessory. It includes a phone number and cell data through Humane’s branded wireless service on T-Mobile’s network, offering a comprehensive package. The Pin’s operating system, Cosmos, takes a unique approach, resembling a seamless system that can summon various AIs and tools on demand. Drawing parallels with ChatGPT‘s plugins system, the Pin is rumored to be powered by GPT-4, promising a dynamic and adaptable user experience.
Functionality Unveiled
Leaked documents shed light on the Pin’s versatile functionality. From crafting messages that mimic your writing style to summarizing your email inbox, the Pin emerges as a multifaceted device. Language translation, food identification for nutritional information, and AI-centric photography features are just a glimpse of its capabilities. The integration of Tidal music streaming with an “AI DJ” that curates music based on context adds a layer of sophistication. As we await the official announcement, there is anticipation surrounding how well these features will perform and whether the Pin can truly make a case for a smartphone without a screen.
The Management Tool
Ensuring a user-friendly experience, Humane introduces Humane.center, a tool designed to manage the device. While details are scant, this platform seems to be the hub for setting up and customizing the Pin. Whether a website or a mobile app, Humane.center is where users can access the notes, videos, and photos collected while wearing the Pin.
