The latest in wearable tech comes in the form of a pin you clip to your chest, better known as the Ai Pin, by Humane.
The small, square, pin is a high-tech device designed to be worn on your shirt and built around ChapGPT-like AI services. It can take photos, send texts, and use a laser to project a visual interface onto a person’s palm, in addition to coming with a powerful virtual assistant. The device is ready to search the web and communicate, with the hopes of decreasing our dependency on smartphones. Ai Pin is the first of many similar wearable devices expected to launch in coming months and years, though it might be too early to tell if this type of device will become a socially acceptable personal tech item to wear versus being a fun toy for gadget enthusiasts.
While the pin is already on sale in the US, the devices are not expected to start shipping until early 2024. They start at $699, plus $24 monthly for unlimited calling, texting, and data through T-Mobile. To learn more about the wearable pin and if it can really be a smartphone alternative, visit here.
