Humane hopes to buck the „Glasshole“ status for wearable cameras with its $700 Ai Pin.
Humane hopes to buck the „Glasshole“ status for wearable cameras with its $700 Ai Pin.
In a world where people are addicted to their screens, companies like Humane have been working to try and subvert that. The company imagines a world where people can have conversations with an artificially intelligent assistant they wear on their clothes rather than stare into a screen scrolling TikTok.
The Ai Pin is worn on a person’s shirt and is controlled via taps. After being activated, voice commands and other gestures can activate features, like taking a photo or recording a voice.
Any time the microphone or camera is in use, a „trust light“ is turned on for people to see. It is meant to ensure privacy as a tentpole feature of the pin.
