The AI Pin smart clothing element is a device without a display that is attached to different surfaces using a magnet. Pre-order of the device starts on November 16 at a price of $699.
The $24 monthly fee includes phone number service and data coverage through the T-Mobile network.
The AI Pin is powered by a Snapdragon processor and is controlled by voice, camera, gestures, and a small built-in projector.
The device in an aluminum case weighs about 34 g, and the battery weight is 20 g. It is attached to the clothing with a magnet, which will need to be applied from the back of it. A special clip will also be sold that will allow you to attach the AI Pin to thicker belts of clothing or bags. Humane President Imran Chaudhry said that he wore the device on a warm jacket, and in general tested it for more than a year. According to him, the AI Pin can withstand various operating conditions, including cycling, running and jumping, and has also been tested for falling from a height of 1.5 m on various surfaces.
The curved top of the device houses an ultra-wide-angle camera, light and depth detectors, and a laser projector.
The built-in camera is capable of taking 13-megapixel photos, and will also shoot videos. AI Pin is activated to record data manually. At the same time, the “trust indicator”starts flashing on the device.
Double-tap with two fingers on the touch panel to take a picture. The same double tap followed by a hold records the video. Tapping on the device’s panel and then moving the palm of your hand into the device’s field of view activates the laser, which projects images and text onto the user’s hand with a wavelength that creates a bluish-green hue and a resolution of 720p. The tilt of the hand allows you to move between the displayed options, and the swipe gesture allows you to move to another menu. To select an option, you will need to put your thumb and index finger together, and squeezing your palm will bring you to the home screen.
AI Pin will connect to Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s artificial intelligence models using software called AI Mic. To communicate with the Ai Mic assistant, you will need to tap on the panel with a hold. Humane claims that access to ChatGPT is one of the main functions of the device. The Cosmos operating system will allow you to automatically redirect requests to the necessary tools instead of downloading applications. The OS is built on Google’s open-source Android platform, but a number of tweaks have been added to it. It is not yet clear whether AI Pin will give preference to Google services in this regard.
AI Pin offers several functions: voice messages and calls; “catch me”, which can summarize information about the mailbox; identification of the nutritional value of products; real-time translation.
Humane intends to add navigation and shopping capabilities, as well as provide developers with the ability to create their own tools.
AI Pin deliveries will begin in early 2024, with pre-orders starting on November 16. The device is available in white and black colors, and multi-colored plastic covers are also provided for it.
After purchasing the device, you will need to go to the Humane. center website to sync your contacts and subscribe to additional services, such as music. The AI Pin camera scans the code that comes with the device to link it to an account where recordings, photos, and call and message histories are available. User data will not be used for training artificial intelligence systems.
