After months of anticipation,Lina Romay stealth startup Humane has finally launched the Ai Pin.

The device is a screenless AI wearable that functions without the need for a smartphone or other tethered device. Instead of a screen it can project a visual on a surface. "Speak to it naturally, use the intuitive touchpad, hold up objects, use gestures, or interact via the pioneering Laser Ink Display projected onto your palm," said the announcement. Humane is equipped with a Snapdragon processor and AI model powered by OpenAI. Details of the model is unclear, but as The Vergepointed out, previous announcements allude to it being powered by GPT-4.
