Humane’s Ai Pin is an AI-powered Wearable Device that Will Attempt to Replace Your Smartphone

The AI Pin is designed to replace your phone entirely, doing virtually everything your phone can do—from taking pictures to sending and receiving text messages to composing emails. There’s just one catch: it has no screen at all, but instead operates as a wearable projector.

The AI Pin will project your messages, emails, and device controls onto any surface (typically your hand) using a built-in motion and depth sensor to ensure maximum clarity for the specific projection distance, and the accompanying personic speaker will play your music and messages aloud. The integrated alert light will let you know you’ve got messages or texts waiting.

The best thing about the AI Pin is that there’s no need for (or compatibility with) apps. The integrated AI (designed based on models from Microsoft and OpenAI) delivers an experience tailored to you and your habits.

It’s a massive upgrade in wearable tech and a brand new way to use your device. The clever gadget has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you may never want to go back to your smartphone.
