Introducing the Humane AI Pin: A Slow and Unreliable Wearable Device
Female Arts is excited to share the latest innovation in wearable technology with our readers: the Humane AI Pin. This wearable device and software platform is designed to harness the power of artificial intelligence, but does it deliver on its promises?
The AI Pin consists of two parts: the Pin itself, which features a touch-sensitive panel, projector, camera, mic, and speakers, and a magnetic attachment. With accessories like battery boosters, latches, and clips available, the Pin is similar in size to an Apple Watch Ultra 2, but squatter and lighter.
Interacting with the AI Pin is primarily done through voice commands, touch, and gestures, with the projector display beaming information onto your palm. However, using the projector display involves tiresome gestures to navigate, and the camera is slow with poor image quality in low light conditions.
On the positive side, the Pin can function as an interpreter, providing accurate translations in real-time. However, the onboarding process includes setting up an account, linking Google or Apple accounts, and watching a tutorial video on gestures.
The Pin’s speaker quality is decent, but it only supports Tidal for music streaming, with the sound potentially audible to others around you. Additionally, the Pin often overheats during prolonged usage, prompting it to shut down and requires regular charging with battery boosters.
Overall, the Humane AI Pin is slow, unreliable, and lacks smart functionality, making it difficult to justify its high cost of $700 and monthly fees of $24. While the idea behind the AI Pin is ambitious, it falls short in delivering a seamless and efficient user experience.
