Humane technology<\/a> has been showing off it’s little AI powered wearable devices – this time at the Paris Fashion show. They paired up with Coperni fashion<\/a> and pinned the devices to their models. <\/p>\n\n\n

What these devices do is – well – nobody really knows. Officially they are a<\/a> “screenless, standalone device and software platform built from the ground up for AI. The intelligent clothing-based wearable uses a range of sensors that enable natural and intuitive compute interactions and is designed to weave seamlessly into users\u2019 day-to-day lives.” It appears to be powered by a Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1 processor and have \u2018AI-powered optical recognition and a laser-projected display\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is some speculation they are a little like the Google Clip<\/a>, but the AI Pin claims to be completely standalone and not tethered to other devices (like the iWatch, etc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now there is almost no information about what they do or if they even turn on. There’s a lot of speculation that right now they are in ‘hype’ mode to collect investors. But with no actual working prototypes nor information about them – many are wondering if this is a case of the emperor has no clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it is an interesting thought experiment. If you did have one of these devices – what WOULD you want in a wearable little device like this? There doesn’t appear to be any screen; so how would it fit in the economy that has cell phones, digitally connected watches, and possibly screenless wearable devices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a little more information here on Time’s ‘Best Inventions of 2023<\/a>‘; though they do disclose that 2 TIME co-chairs were investors – so maybe a little bit of thumbs on the scale there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
