The AI Pin, created by Imran Chaudhri and his team at Humane, is a revolutionary wearable gadget that blends artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) technologies to offer a more seamless and natural user experience.
Imran Chaudhri is an designer, inventor, and innovator, with a career spanning over 20 at Apple. He played a pivotal role in creating products such as the Macintosh, iPod, iPad, Apple Watch, and the iconic iPhone. In 2018, with his wife, Bethany Bongiorno, Chaudhri co-founded Humane, a company focused on developing AI-driven technology and platforms for the intelligence age.
The primary goal of the AI Pin is to minimize the barriers between the user and their environment. Instead of constantly looking down at a smartphone screen, users can activate the AI Pin with a simple tap. The device utilizes a combination of a camera and computer vision-powered software to recognize objects and their context in the user's surroundings. For example, it can recognize food nutrition labels, providing information to the user without the need for manual searches.
One of the key features of the AI Pin is its built-in projector and depth sensor. This allows the device to project an interactive interface onto nearby surfaces, such as the user's palm or a table. The interface can respond to gestures and voice commands, enabling users to interact with the device in a more intuitive and natural manner. By projecting information directly onto surfaces, the AI Pin eliminates the need for traditional screens and creates a "screenless" experience.
The AI Pin's AI-driven technology enables it to perform many tasks that a smartphone can, but with fewer gestures and voice commands required. The device's design encourages users to be more present in their daily lives, as they can access information and perform tasks without being constantly absorbed in a screen.
Humane has raised over $230 Million dollars.
The Ai Pin is out now.
HELLA INSPIRED.
