Smart Humane Wearable AI Pin – interact using voice and gestures on the front-facing touchpad
The smart human wearable AI pin is recent advances in AI, a new breed of micro devices are starting to emerge that offer some of the same functionality as phones, but that exist for the primary purpose of being personal assistants that can sit in the palm of your hand or latch onto the lapel of your coat. At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Humane announced the AI Pin back in November of 2023, and it’s currently available for preorder in the US for $699 (as well as increasingly with a number of operator partners around the world). On top of this, there’s a $24 monthly subscription fee to pay that covers connectivity, secure data storage and access to Humane’s AI service.
The Pin is a petite, subtle, square-shaped computer that sits on your chest with the help of a magnet. You interact with it primarily through voice, but also using gestures on the front-facing touchpad. The aim is to have an expert and always-available assistant ready to help you out with any query while remaining present, rather than getting lost in whatever’s happening on your phone screen. “Something that’s really important about it is that we want to live more in the moment,” said Bethany Bongiorno, CEO and co-founder of Humane.
