Palm Projector: Redefining Interaction
In a departure from traditional screens, the AI Pin employs a “laser ink display” to project visuals onto the user’s palm. This feature encourages users to engage with their surroundings without the need to constantly glance at a screen. Intuitive gestures, such as tapping fingers together or tilting the hand in specific directions, enable various actions, offering a novel way to interact with the device.
Voice Commands with Ai Mic: A Core Communication Mode
Given its screenless nature, AI Pin relies heavily on audio interaction. Humane leverages OpenAI’s model to implement Ai Mic, making voice commands the primary mode of communication. All apps and accounts are seamlessly linked to the device, allowing users to perform tasks, search for information, and even receive contextual updates through voice commands. The absence of a wake word enhances privacy, as the device activates only when manually prompted by the user.
Computer Vision for Nutrition and Translation
AI-Pin goes beyond conventional tasks by integrating computer vision. In a promotional video, the device is shown identifying and providing nutritional information about food items held in the user’s palm. The real-time translation feature further enhances its versatility, recognizing spoken languages and providing translations with simple commands. While initially focused on nutrition, Humane envisions expanding these capabilities to cover a broader range of applications in the future.
Privacy and Discretion: A Priority
Addressing concerns about privacy, AI Pin distinguishes itself from other voice assistants by lacking a passive listening mechanism or wake word. The device activates only upon manual initiation by the user. To further ensure privacy, the inclusion of a “prominent trust light” signals when the device is in use, serves as a visual indicator. The use of a “personic speaker” creates a localized “bubble of sound,” reinforcing the confidentiality of conversations between the user and AI Pin.
Conclusion and Pricing
Priced at $699 with additional monthly costs for a cellular plan through T-Mobile, the AI Pin and its accessories are set to be available for orders starting November 16, with shipping scheduled for early 2024. As the tech world awaits its market reception, the AI Pin seeks to carve a niche by offering a screenless, privacy-focused alternative to traditional smartphones.
