On top of its AI functionality, what separates this device from a smartwatch is that it is a standalone device that does not require a smartphone to operate. This means a $24-a-month subscription is needed for the device to have a separate phone number that includes unlimited data, text, and talk.
The touchpad isn’t the only way to control the AI Pin. This device features a laser ink display that uses the user’s palm as a backdrop to display a menu that the user can control by tilting and rolling their hand or closing their fingers. It can also project text and other information.
This unique AI Pin features Bluetooth 5.1 functionality, so you can pair it with your wireless headphones and Wi-Fi 5, which offers 2.4GHz and 5GHz connection. It also has a 13MP camera with a resolution of 4208×3120 pixels and an ultra-wide 120-degree field of view. Some of the AI Pin’s other features include an accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, a 3D sensor, 4GB RAM, and 32 gigabytes of storage.
With a wearable camera and microphone come privacy concerns. However, Humane took steps to keep people safe with the AI Pin’s RGB light bar that changes colors depending on its current function. For example, it will turn green when the device takes a photo and orange when its microphone is on.
