Humane Launches Screenless AI Pin Wearable for $699
Ex-Apple startup Humane unveils the AI Pin, a $699 screenless wearable powered by ChatGPT that projects interfaces onto the user's hand. The device hits the US market for pre-orders on November 16.
Humane, a startup founded by former Apple employees, officially launches the AI Pin, a screenless wearable device that clips to clothing and provides instant access to ChatGPT. The device runs on a bespoke operating system called Cosmos and relies on a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to power its AI-driven features. Backed by OpenAI and Microsoft, the AI Pin represents Humane's vision for the future of human and artificial intelligence interaction.
The standalone gadget costs $699 and requires an additional monthly subscription fee for cellular connectivity and cloud services. Customers in the US can place orders starting November 16, though early availability remains limited. The AI Pin features a built-in camera with depth and motion sensors to continuously understand and record its surroundings.
Instead of a traditional screen, the wearable uses a laser projection system to display information and smartphone-like interfaces directly onto the user's palm. Users interact with the device through simple voice commands and intuitive hand gestures, completely replacing the need to touch a screen. This unique interface approach allows the small hardware to deliver full functionality without the bulk of a standard smartphone.
