Humane launches AI Pin, a wearable device powered by OpenAI via the Snapdragon chip, that can be carried to facilitate daily life with an AI assistant. Whether it’s making phone calls, sending messages, playing music, giving weather forecasts, and more. without using a smartphone
The wearable device consists of two parts: a small, square device computer and a battery pack that magnetically attaches to the user’s clothing or other surface. Control the device with voice, camera, gestures, or even project a laser on the screen in the palm of the user’s hand.
small computer equipment Weighs only 34 grams, battery capacity 20 grams, 13 megapixel wide camera with motion sensor.
Operate the device manually by tapping and dragging on the touchpad, and the Pin’s “Trust Light” will flash to let you and others know it’s collecting data. A Beacon automatically signals what’s happening. The main function of the Pin is to connect to AI models through software called AI Mic.
Humane states that Chat GPT access is one of the features. The core of the device Through the Cosmos operating system, it is designed to automatically route user queries to the appropriate tools. Instead of asking users to download and manage apps
Ready to demonstrate how to work, such as wanting to listen to music that makes you feel more relaxed. Just press a voice command and the AI will work, finding songs and playing them instantly. Or search for songs in sci-fi movies. When the user just opens their palm, the AI emits blue laser light and displays it on the palm like a screen. If you want to stop the music from playing, you can use gestures to just touch the thumb with your index finger and the music will stop immediately.
This is because the device doesn’t have a home screen or settings and accounts to manage. So Pin’s functionality basically pulls together all the interfaces across different technologies. The idea is that users can talk or tap Pin to talk about what the user wants to do. Or want to know something and the Pin will happen automatically.
The past year has reportedly seen a surge in functionality available through simple commands to “chatbots,” and Humane has tried to build its device in a similar way.
The main purpose of the device is to be a wearable large language model (LLM)-powered inquiry tool. The company says it intends to add navigation and shopping capabilities. It plans to provide developers with a way to create their own tools.
and sees AI Pin as the starting point of a large project that will develop in the same way as smartphones. That the device will get better after improving the user experience over time. And it will be another starting point for the technology of the future.
Humane was founded by Bethany Bongiorno and Imran Choudhary, a husband and wife team. The former has worked in hardware design and software engineering at “Apple” for a long time, designing wearable devices that can connect directly to mobile networks, not through smartphones, with the power of Open AI to carry with them. everywhere
The device itself costs $699. And you have to pay a monthly membership fee of 24 dollars per month for unlimited data and phone numbers from T-Mobile. Pre-orders are open on November 16th. and will ship early next year.
