The iPhone maker might be preparing to battle OpenAI’s own family of AI gadgets.
Humane’s Ai Pin might be dead and gone, but its awful legacy may live on thanks to the company you’d least expect. According to a new report from The Information, Apple is currently developing its own crappy AI pin to follow Humane’s now-defunct and bricked crappy Ai Pin. Hooray for the sequel no one asked for?
The reported AI gadget sounds harrowing, to say the least. According to the report, Apple’s pin is a “thin, flat, circular disc with an aluminum-and-glass shell” and has two cameras, including a standard and a wide-angle one, built into the front. Those cameras are designed to take in the wearer’s surroundings via photos and videos for what I assume would be some kind of computer vision-based feature(s).
Naturally, the pin also reportedly has microphones to pick up sound, which means it most likely uses a voice assistant and could maybe be used for stuff like translation. Weirdly, the pin is also said to have a speaker and a “physical button along one of its edges” as well as a “magnetic inductive charging interface on its back, similar to the one used on the Apple Watch.
