Humane Unveils Screenless AI Pin Wearable for $699
Former Apple designers at Humane introduce the AI Pin, a screenless wearable powered by GPT-4 that projects information onto a user's hand. The device requires a $24 monthly subscription and prioritizes user privacy.
Humane, a tech startup founded by former Apple designers, unveils the AI Pin, a screenless wearable device that integrates advanced artificial intelligence. Priced at $699, the small, square-shaped gadget magnetically attaches to clothing and features a sleek aluminum housing with a smooth glass surface. The company opens pre-orders on November 16, positioning the device as a bold step toward the future of personal computing.
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, the AI Pin responds to touch and gestures rather than constantly listening to its surroundings. Its standout capability comes from deep integration with OpenAI's GPT-4, allowing the pin to handle calls, translate languages in real-time, and answer complex questions. Additionally, a built-in camera recognizes objects in the environment and projects relevant visual information directly onto the user's hand.
The device emphasizes user privacy by ensuring that personal data enhances individual experiences without training the underlying AI models. Customers pay a $24 monthly subscription fee to unlock unlimited calling, texting, and T-Mobile data connectivity. Backed by $230 million in funding, Humane aims to redefine how people interact with technology by removing the need for traditional screens entirely.
