Humane Officially Launches The AI Pin

Humane Officially Launches The AI Pin

Handout photo - Humane, a San Francisco-based AI startup founded by ex-Apple executives, has unveiled its first product, the Ai Pin. This gadget is a pin that can be hooked onto your clothing and worn all day. The Ai Pin is a wearable projector with the ability to capture photos with an ultrawide RGB camera, send text messages and emails, and answer your most curious questions thanks to its ChatGPT-like capabilities. It operates on AI models from both OpenAI and Microsoft. It takes 13 MP photos and sends texts as well. The accessory is powered by a Snapdragon SoC but the exact processor is not revealed. Similar to other wearables such as wireless earbuds and smartwatches, the Ai Pin is designed to be a casual, everyday accessory. Despite its compact, all-aluminum appearance, it’s not as lightweight as it looks. Weighing about 55 grams, which is equivalent to a tennis ball, it needs a magnetic battery pack to stay attached to your shirt. For bulkier clothing options, Humane offers a separate clip-on accessory
