I’m curious: should I pick one up to test out? Would you guys be interested in a first look/review? 🤔
Yes definitely I think the product is very interesting and I want it to be reviewed by someone that doesn’t work at the company and only wants to criticize the product for the best review as possible so maybe try adding the good the bad and the ugly
Yes
The acceleration of everyday life: a plea for deceleration in the digital era
In the new millennium, our lives have accelerated at a breathtaking pace. The introduction of the smartphone was a turning point in this development. We live in a world in which information, communication and entertainment are available in real time. The boundaries between work and leisure are blurring and the internet demands constant attention.
I remember a time when reading the news was a morning ritual with the newspaper and replying to emails was limited to late morning or early evening. Today, with our smartphones, we are constantly 'online' and 'available'. It is as if we have collectively embarked on a race without knowing where it will lead or when it will end.
This fast pace of life has left its mark. It manifests itself not only in the increasing number of people suffering from burnout, but also in our changed behavior and perceptions. We are experiencing an increasing inner emptiness that is often drowned out by the noise of the digital world.
What does this mean for us as a society? In the long term, we are carrying the burden of a never-ending pace that is taking its toll on our mental and physical state. How many great ideas have been washed away by the flood of emails and notifications? How many times have we missed the moment because we were too busy looking at it through the lens of our camera to share it on social media?
We need to learn to allow ourselves times of calm. Times when we put our smartphone aside and allow ourselves to just 'be'. By taking conscious breaks from constant connectivity, we create space for creativity, reflection and genuine connection. The pace of the internet since the 2000s has irrevocably changed the way we live and work. But it is up to us how we deal with these changes.
Let's pause and look at the big picture. Technology is a tool that serves us, not a master that we should serve. By taking time - time to enjoy nature, time to be with our loved ones, and time to maintain our own inner calm - we can find a balance that we so often lack in today's hyper-connected world.
And this is where the AI Pin can help us. This makes smartphones a thing of the past, less distraction, more life, finally. 😊
Yes and compare it with Cellular iWatch
Try using it exclusively for one week without using a traditional smartphone. 😅
To be fair, people used to laugh at text messaging because they all thought why would I send a text when I call them? In the future, people might say, why would I text when the AI can do it?
@@weird-guy true, it's annoying really.
I just can't get over the depersonofication that these things bring.. we're WELL into fake looks, enhanced images and filters, now we'll be faking emotions and excitement
Might be time for me to get run over by the new age, but yeah.. really makes me sad how we're straying more and more from anything genuine, natural
@@nenad3852 Meh, we left nature a long time ago. I'm not concerned about what's natural when I drive a car to work while eating processed food, and spend 8hrs a day behind a screen. There's nothing natural or genuine about the modern world we live in. I welcome our new robot overlords.
Change brings opportunities. The current capitalist system drives loneliness because loneliness is more profitable. Companies want more of your attention to watch ads, binge tv shows, and play video games all day. A.I has the potential to disrupt this system and give us an opportunity to build something better.
Probably not. This is about privacy.
Soon, our ai-self will be talking to each other, setup meetings for us to meet, and we just show up because it’s on our calendar lol
I don’t think it can be compared to smartphones. It’s a completely different invention. This is far more for a professional setting. I’d consider it for daily use, but I agree that mot humans are visual learners. Also, the temptation being taken away to sit on FB or Insta for 45 mins is already a selling point for me
I agree
Yes I agree as well. I grew up without social media I'm totally fine without it and can wait till later to check all that.
This is by Gen-X, for Gen-X. The kids will HATE it because they are addicted to Social Media.
It would work even better with a phone
@@daily-charge The phone is built in.
This seems like a "landmark" device. If nothing else, it opens up the possibility of far more practical iterations. Hopefully there will be others that take the concept further and in different directions. Excellent video, Joshua.
Like google glass 💀
No screen, no go.
I think Apple Watch is enough? Or something alike. it just needs some boost up
pretty expensive for a landmark device, overrated, will skip until it improves.
I agree, much like Apple and some others have done that create "futuristic" devices that have no intention of making it to real market saturation, rather to spark interest for when the next iteration comes out that IS designed for market. My favorite example of this was in the 90's and something we all use everyday, but was written off as a pipe dream: X-drive.....the first instance I experienced with cloud storage and data retrieval.
I think the biggest misconception is that this could be a replacement of a mobile phone, instead of being a tool to help with day-to-day basic tasks. I can see the hype building up and this being a landmark product that will open up far better possibilities in the future!
Doesn't seem to do anything I watch doesn't already do. Or couldn't already do. I'm not sure why using my hand as a reflecting tool is more convenient than just looking at a watch screen
Yeah, I have the watch and it's easy to see even when my palm is facing down or when I'm on the computer.
Phones will be gone sooner or later anyways
@@kisille come on..
@@joebudd6716 it's literally gonna be old tech, you can't do nothing about it
Great thoughts. A weakness in the analysis is comparing it to a phone. This product will do well for its niche. My only worry is that it ends up like Clubhouse. Bigger companies with larger platforms and funds could do their own version and integrate it in their ecosystems. Apple watch is an example of that.
Can definitely see this taking off in a commercial setting, used by staff members who interact with the public etc but definitely not in a social setting
There gonna be one issue mate it's around $1200 and there will be subscription its gonna be tough
Yeah I can see that, this isn't going to take off as a consumer product. Maybe it would be given out by some employers as a work phone type thing, but even then, what benefits does this offer over a work phone? I'm not bullish on this device at all
I see the opposite but flaws in both. I don't see this glorified AI pager being accepted in work environments at all. A restaurant server, hairdresser, physical therapist all benefit greatly from a smart watch. I see the voice interactivity being a purely negative bottleneck that most news stations with imari on it, has also not been convinced of. They grill him on how they're not sold on the device by any means whatsoever and he has very diplomatic useless answers to combat their objections.
Idk some of the criticisms you mentioned seem a bit confusing to me. The purpose of this device is to reduce the amount of time staring at and being on our phones. To me some of the criticisms you mentioned go directly against the ethos of the product itself. So if you are somewhere you can't have a one on one conversation with your friend who is not there then you probably should just sit there and be present in the space. Or the navigation thing you know people back then used to get around without any directions they just learned the area around them. Also yeah it would be absurd to look at your palm while walking down the street. Which is why you shouldn't do that and the device doesn't encourage it by trying to keep you on there obsessively. The price thing is the most valid one though tbh it's way too pricey for what it is.
Those are valid points about living in the moment (whether it be on public transport, a meeting, or a classroom), and not feeling the need to text somebody unless it were truly an emergency.
The navigation part is still tough for me but I’d imagine if they somehow made a “CarPlay” equivalent, it may solve that problem.
Video calls… idk. Holograms? 😂 (jk)
I think the hardest part of all of this is re-wiring our minds to envision what a world without a smartphone would look like. We’ve grown accustomed to our habits over the past decade and this is going against everything we’ve learned.
If this were to hit mainstream adoption though, it would seriously impact tons of businesses. Apple, Facebook, Google, UA-cam, Instagram, TikTok. Wild to think about, that’s for sure, especially as my job revolves around social media.
Honestly, I think this device is super awesome. I've been bored of staring at these bright little screens all the time (for many years), & I think it isn't healthy either. I'm also not sure screens next to our eyes all the time is going to be the answer either (i.e. smart glasses/VR/AR).
1) It needs to pair with a phone or smartwatch or glasses or lenses to be practical for everyday user. It cant be replacment but it can work with it.
2) Also using AI all the time instead of being able to access apps directly is also stupid. It is nice you can use voice and AI but stupid that you have to.
3) It could be good for vision impared and blind people and for translating conversation in real time including sign language.
4) Like any wereable with camera, it is going to pose challenges with privateness.
5) Smart glasses would make this device redundant but smart contact lenses would have to depend on simmilar device or necklace.
6) You could loose it when running. You would either need a special pocket for it or it becoming necklace.
7) It reminds me of pager
Your opinions not fact
@@trinibaduk9012 My opinions? Sure. Fact? That's a question to discuss. But it is my opinion, that it is a fact. :)
All spot-on points. I don't think the founders realized that they just made an updated pager. If this were a company-assigned device, where you could tie it's usability to like, say a hospital, and doctor's could use it with their database/patients, then I could maybe see some use case there? But, not gonna happen, they want wide adoption, and this device has failed on several fronts. It's pretty bad when a company that's received $240,000,000 in funding, can have a couple of UA-camr's and Commentors completely derail the product with a few minor objections and observations lol.
Just discovered this channel love the reviews and your honesty!
I like it. Its probably not as convenient as their demo suggests, but I really appreciate this cool piece of tech design. Would be great if this little pin helps in waking up Apple and Samsung to speed up innovation on their smartphones and watches
Apple will never speed up innovation. Their history shows us that very clearly. They release something to us that has been on most android devices for years and they market it as new. I prefer apple phones over Samsung but they are always late the the game but have a better marketing team to make it seem like it’s such an advance in technology lol
@@mattburris257
Exactly, apple is not really creative or innovative, they do the job right and good enough, but nothing innovative
@@mattburris257 I used to switch between android and ios. And, I can honestly say, that if I did not live in the US, I would probably not own an iPhone at all. I think that reorganizing apps on iOS is extremely rudimentary when compared to nova launcher or android competitors. Also, most apps are free on Google Play Store, due to the lack of the profiteering racket that apple forces on its app store.
@@Mohtellawi but they can't even put a built-in calculator app on iPadOS LOL
@@eltechnica
Hhhhh true, and honestly, even the built-in iphone calculator is dumb, the android one is better.
And I am an iOS user lol
I love the idea of this device. AI connected, instant translation (great for business and work), instant witness and documentation. It won't replace the smartphone, but it might be a just as useful augmentation as the smart watch (especially for professionals and accountability purposes).
Hell no dude. What? I'm gonna have to carry like 4 devices on me? Watch, phone, earphones and now this? Isn't the whole purpose of it to be minimal, to make it so you not have to carry your laptop and so on with you... no, it's a scam. Pls
@@P.Aether Look at Ray-Ban Meta glasses. It can replace both ear buds and this AI pin and has a better camera. The hardware is very good, the software is limited to work mostly with meta only tho.
Either way companies should offer selling whole sets of wereables or give you discount on other parts of the set if you already have some.
@@P.AetherOverlords: Okay so we still need to track everything our subjects do, but we need them to be less distracted by entertainment and factual information.
Too bad our smartphones are still extremely BAD at understanding us. Even nuetral english speakers. Samsung's new AI integrated into their new Galaxy showcases how pitiful the translation AI is. No way the AI Pin, can detect different accents and dialects BETTER than any current phone out there. The phone's can't do it. How can this device? Will also have to be in a completely quiet environment in order to understand both parties, what if multiple people are speaking at the same time? The technology exists but it's shown us, that it's not practical. If Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon (Alexa), MIcrosoft (Cortana), all suck so bad that each voice-assistant department has quite literally lost BILLIONS and these are TRILLION dollar companies with basically endless resources, what makes any consumer convinced that this brand new product with a measly quarter billion in funding (compared to trillions) can make transcription/translation tech anymore practical?
I can see a future for this device as a companion to my smartphone. Countless times i need to find information in the internet and this can certainly make it easier. Specially when i am cooking, driving, etc.
it will do well in professional settings especially for multinational enterprises. Real-time translation, built-in "PA functionalities", no entertainment distractions etc. Also the privacy issue is ironically the least problem there as corporations like employee transparency...
completely agree with your take. i wanna get one just to try out the live translate at work just cause that use case specifically seems perfect for that type of device rather than holding up a phone in between you and the customer. BUT for the price it can’t be just a live translation device, and none of the other features seemed any more appealing than a smartwatch
The question that I have is what type of processing power does the pin have, whether the processing is happening on the device or online? The battery would blow through with the type processing the system is going through
Combine this with a pair of glasses with a small screen and I think it would be more practical.
Your describing the Scouter from Dragon ball Z basically
@@leslieraglin6393 don’t know what that is but it sounds cool 😎
$700 and a $25 monthly subscription to use it is crazy!!! An instant flop.
But yet u buy an iPhone or a galaxy that easily doubles that cost?
@@mattburris257 I'm not the type of person who can afford those ludicrous prices.
@@mattburris257 it is like a phone but less practical, who would want that? Only minimalists and people obsessed with their screen time. Any phone can do what this thing does, your assistant can text ppl for you and AI apps are basically free. This thing has nothing going for it.
@jassycat then I’m guessing your on UA-cam from your computer because the cost an an iPhone or galaxy is over $1000 plus well over $25 a month
@@mattb2700 My dude, only pretentious kids and spoiled brats opt for the priciest iPhones or Samsungs. Most folks are content with a midrange phone. I have a Xiaomi Poco F2 It's a gorgeous and powerful phone for under $500. Ten times more useful than that pointless AI pin. Only tech enthusiasts will be willing to spend $700 on some weird experiment. Or u seriously expect people to replace their phones with this inferior device, that only works with voice commands... like come on, talking to your phone in public is cringe. This will be 10 times cringier.
it's a magnet for snatchers, but great use for indoors. Outdoors too, provided you are sure no one will just snatch it out of your clothing. It's a great device as augmentation to your phone.
If stolen it will no longer work due to security features - so no one would want to steal it
You must be in a country full of criminals. That has not something most people who can afford it will worry about it.
Very valid points. The "Star Trek TNG" appeal of having a lapel pin is appealing, but I think this is too expensive for a mediocre laser projected display. If you just had AI voice recognition and a bluetooth lapel pin as a short-cut IO for voice exchange and alerts, like your smartwatch that accompanies your CELL I think this would be golden! In fact, I am sure someone will recognize this is yet ANOTHER device that dosent add much function, for a significant cost.
I don’t think the final destination for this product is to replace the smart phone, but to work along the side
Or people who don’t have one.
I think mobile phone can provide all the features with a EarPods you can talk with EarPod in privacy and get response from your phone for AI conversation and messaging. Why do we need another device ?
I'm skeptical too but not quite as much as some of the comments. I get the pin limits communication (e.g. texting in class or meetings) but maybe that's kinda the whole point; to decrease the quantity of connectivity while improving the quality. And maybe there will be new norms for self expression in this way. Great video though, I enjoyed this.
Edit: I think the point is Humane is trying to limit our device usage to what they think is absolutely necessary; just like how Apple limits Mac "customization" when compared to e.g. Windows.
Your bio’s stupid 😂
Also, speaking of, you can get a piece of paper and write directions or a prompt for the AI to follow if you really don’t wanna speak out loud.
It does do entertainment - plays music through the built-in speaker or Bluetooth headphones - they mentioned Tidal at launch
Just curious, can you Bluetooth it with your cell phone and not have to pay the monthly fee?
The image of the map is projected on any surface. You can also project recipes on the counter. I love this idea.
People spend much more than 700 for many phones
@@micoffee5399except those phones also come with an insane amount of functionality compared to this. Your phone has thousands of apps it can use. Can watch videos. Interact with other devices. Etc. $700 for a niche replacement for something much more functional is a bit much
I feel like this is exactly what is needed. Humans to be connected with one another again and not their screens. This has the potential to recalibrate humanity back to being connected with each other and not just social media friends. I think I might get one.
To to that you don't need to spend 700$ plus monthly fee on a info-snatching gizmo. Just put on some trainers and go, join a book club, try therapy, cut off 10 minutes of screen time every day.
They are giving you a problem and make you pay extra for introducing another one in your life (a.i. interaction for social use is the opposite of "humane" not to talk about privacy concerns and having a pricy tool hanging from your jacket)
EXCELLENT Review! Thanks!
People were saying we dont need phones and now everyone has it, this thing is gonna be life changing, its not really a replacement of the smartphone its like a upgrade that u still use with ur phonen
If they think anyone besides Tiktok influencers are going to want to buy this glorified Cicret bracelet, they're nuts. I don't see the benefits of it at all. Get a watch, itll cost half as much and does more. Or even better, have some restraint when using your phone so you don't feel the need to spend $700 on this silicon valley pipe dream "de-toxification" device
I think you would be surprised!!!
I know several people including myself that are looking for this exact solution! Granted this may not be the best form, but I’m willing to be an early adopter to see if it this would solve the phone addiction lol!
Ur lost bro 😂🤦🏾♂️ everything u just said holds 0 value 😅
I am buying one 🙋♂️
I want to wear a Rolex and maybe nothing on one hand . Why would I wear an Apple Watch to a nice night out think about it. This AI pin is for bosses someone who doesn’t want a screen to take time of their day . Not for noobs
@@lifewithchicago5282 Nobody worth your time cares what's on your wrist
The AI pin isn’t a completely thought out product in my view. BUT I like that there are tech companies out there that aim for a future where technology enhances reality instead of distracting from it- or even replacing it with a different reality entirely (VR). Give it a few more years and I think we’re not far away from the scenario that the movie HER paints.
You are right, all technology should be developed around the theme of "privacy"
I’m excited to try it and see how I can better integrate it into my professional life. The idea of having “my AI,” like a personal assistant computer that’ll help me manage my day, is something I’m really excited about. As a Marketing Executive, I couldn’t be more excited. This is a new way to interact with technology.
I would consider getting one, but I literally leave my apartment w just my phone 95% of the time, because it carries my keys, my ID and my credit cards. That would be out the window w that device.
Only thing I can think of to add to it is to add a armband(with a screen thats bendable) you wear thats connected to the pin. Only thing then is battery life. If it ever does become mainstream I could see battery shops here and there where you would just swap out batteries to recharge for a new one fully charged for a small fee for the pin and another for the armband. Thats just what I think could push this further. Downside is people dealing with theft over devices. Until people don't have to worry about money and theft it'll never happen.
I think it has the same problem with the cicret bracelet (the projector just isnt capable of peojecting onto skin accurately) if they overcome this issue it might be really good.
Great and informative review thank you 👍🏾
I think it could be good for some people cutting screen time. Maybe in the future when people realise that excess phone use isnt really a good thing. That laser projection could be better. I think more different ways to use a phone/computer/pda the better
I Think the limitations of the device might be 'the features/not bugs' - like, no, you can't text while on the subway, you can't use emojis, etc...but maybe the philosophy behind it is, "hey - maybe you don't need to be doing that" ?
I think it's a weird, almost techno-luddite pendulum swing effort...but I think the idea of it could work if we get to the point of hyper powerful mini laptops/smartphones to handle Any kind of work/anything that requires continuous manual input, and then something like the AI Pin-device to replace all quick, impersonal communication, most? smartphone tools (camera, it projects traffic directions better somehow, etc)
...haha so yeah, this isn't it (but I hope it leads to the better version/idea)
Yes it is, they want to reduce the scroll and the long time that we spend scrolling
its like an Apple Watch with chatgpt --- oh that would be so cool if apple made the Apple Watch stand alone... please apple
Good points! Combining I would guess that the humane ai pin will evolve into a gadget that ppl use alongside their smartphone (or as standalone if you want to go out without your phone for an evening or a workout)...but then it actually would work better as a super AI smartwatch. I think this is what we will eventually be getting, and then I'll buy :)
You know what can do the exact same thing but better? Bluetooth headphones. With a click you can interact with your usual AI and you saved 700
I've been closely looking for this for months now. You can't judge this as just another phone; that was your first mistake. The applications of computers are slowly disappearing as a whole other way of computing and interacting. You make a good point about how comfortable it is to talk to an artificial intelligence, and that you wouldn't want to have a conversation with an AI pin in a meeting. However, there are gestures that you can still use to record conversations, capturing moments. The hope is that AI will collect enough data so that you don't need to talk to it. I mean it will understand your position and location where it could remind you things before you go in a meeting without talking to it it’s called setting intentions you can’t set an intention with a phone try it it’s difficult there are a few ways setting an alarm but sending an alarm on this device is completely different you might want to set an alarm in a location or when you see someone or hear something you see how this is different type of computing all together collecting notes you can create a second brain I mean they showed it to you so the whole idea of the entertainment is also wrong it’s called experiencing your own and entertainment up you’re creating it not someone else it’s a whole different game my friend be excited about not what is happening now but 52 ten years spatial Computing allows you to communicate with hands gesture visual environment cues spatial location cues you have five acts as of information access and have just your little key bad on your phone literally
Please consider this as a future technology that you don’t understand yet. The world still doesn't know the impacts of phones, especially when the iPhone came out.
good point but he just ignore this good comment
Everything about Humane and the AI Pin spells Juicero to me.
Meanwhile, augmented reality glasses, which have completely sucked, but seem much more convenient: where is this poseur climbing? And "smart watches", such as fitness watches, what's worse? They reduce screen time, have a lot of useful widgets, can measure telemetry, help with navigation, are allowed to read messages (which was the main point for their breakthrough), but they are not a replacement for a smartphone, but only an addition, an assistant.
If you are personally using your own personal mobile screen vertically oriented, then, you also never used a screen or ever interacted with one.
My query/argument is surely this device has the ability to interact with screened devices and if that is the case then it still does limit screen time as you can do the majority of tasks without looking at a screen... but then to counter my own argument, it would be very pricey as a glorified smart watch... if this technology becomes a lot more affordable I could see it being used. Also how waterproof would this item be or would it still have certain function if worn under garments like rain coats?
I am eager to acquire one, as it will enable me to reduce the considerable time I currently spend on social media. This solution aligns perfectly with my goal to stay connected while eliminating the unproductive habit of endless scrolling. For media consumption, I can rely on my laptop, and for reading, my Kindle is the ideal choice.
I think something like this could work at some point, but I'm not sure the masses are ready for it yet. It's kind of like when Microsoft came out with that Windows version with that total revamped UI experience. The general users of Windows machines were freaked out because it was too different from past experience. I think this is the same situation. Eventually maybe the masses will want the product, just not sure if that's now. Timing is everything.
I feel like it could work.....if it was linked to something like a smart watch or AR glasses or something. We are visual creatures, we are going to need more than just a mini simplistic projector. The price, subscription and lack of practicality is going to make this flop unfortunately
We just became addicted to smartphones but life before the iPhone was way better in my opinion. People actually interacted with the world around them more often rather than sitting behind a screen. The issue I see with this is those that are so addicted to their screens now will have even more issues looking at their hand all day for the sake of looking at their hand lol
i feel if we can eliminate the unnecessary screen time using this, it will bring in the thought revolution we very much need.
Partly yes but it would also increase AI using time drastically. There are many positive sides to it and something like this might get its userbase. But would you like to have to input every message by voice? Are not there types of messages that you want to send silently while for example sitting in a bus or during lecture in school? Something you want to keep private? Also I am not sure AI will not try to interfere and censor your thoughts. People would not spend time formulating their own answers they would just tell something like "Hey AI pin reply him that x" but the AI pin will probably formulate the answer itself. People think about what to write even when they are on the go, but they would not converse with AI about it for much time, they would just give it instruction to do it I think. Also I could imagine it could refuse to send certain messages that you would want to send. And there does not necessarily have to be anything bad about those messages
I happen to be one of those folks, who just recently retired from the industry of computer science, and certainly looking forward towards my AI Pin. I spent nearly 35 + years looking into a screen ie, my computer screen or smartphone screen and have developed bad eyesight as a result of this. So having the AI pin will be such a game changer, especially for traveling and finally resting my eyes on live experiences. Trust me I will not miss my smartphone.
I don't understand. You can achieve the same thing with a small phone and a wireless speakerphone!
So if they do it right the only break through should be in there sound engineering! If they do it right!
Then if it failed ! They can use their technology for small phone auxiliaries!
Or your concern is if there is a touchscreen you cannot resist to use it?
Listen , your car has gps . And we have grown to be so attached to a phone . And immediate gratification. It’s ok to tell slow down , tell a person I’ll FaceTime you when I get home from the laptop , or possibly limit your social media in take and check that when you get home . We have to slow down , I see this as an opportunity to ease the anxieties of the world . We have to slow down , and get back to ourselves , and not scrolling someone’s ig page , or needing an emoji to express our emotions . What happen to talking . Lol
I totally agree with your comments.
It feels like they wanted a product and never asked what people wants. So they are pushing the device just to say "it uses AI".
But really speaking... A mobile phone can just do all that. The usage for the frontal wide camera is pretty much for nothing other than anything that you could point your phone at.
In SHORT ; replacing Smartphones within Next 2 decades is impossible .
I agree, how do i watch youtube or play games on that?
i think this is a step in the right direction. i believe in the future we will all have some sort of ai assistant.
It's not a step , the idea was based 9 years ago in the movie HER. It might be revolutionary but someone else came up with it a while ago
May be the inventors can add an accessory with screen and solve the problem. Those limitations pointed out by you, can be resolved with introducing newer version of AI PIN. This is a particularly good device and there is scope for further improvement and who knows, it may replace the smartphone in the future.
Sounds like your idea for the accessory is just a smartphone 🤣🤣
yes, true. Your points are valid. I second you.
I think its great for older folks who have a hard time navigating with technology. So speaking through it is great.
I love your easy-to-follow video, your open-mindedness and caution. That said, with all change comes aversion and skepticism. This is understandable. However, I would add: how will the Pin work for people with no hands or limited hand coordination (those with disease, disability, etc. affecting the hands)? Smartphones allow for the vision-impaired to still compose and "read" email, text, and more. Likewise, smartphones allow for the hearing-impaired to do the same. With the Pin, what are the options for the blind and those who are verbally-challenged (think post-stroke, as just one example. And yes, stroke affects the young, not just older folks). To address the "connecting with people", I applaud the creators for their attempt, but sadly, there are far greater concerns and mitigating factors in the world that have changed the way people "connect" that will not be solved, or even touched briefly, with this device. Now, onto the next one...
It's a companion device that can do pretty much NOTHING a smartphone can't do, so I'm supposed to buy yet another thing because, well, I don't know? Hell no! What were they thinking?!? That thing is DOA.
good idea in theory, feels like parts or missing or not made yet to make this next level for average consumers to wanna buy. Such a dope video either way. Very thought provoking of the failures that get forgotten before we see the next big thing that could potentially be taking concepts from this early ai based device yk.
Hi Josh, thanks for the review. I agree with your comments. I work with disabilities and low-income families. Many of the kids in these families use their phones to do homework, receive tutoring, tele-meds appointments; as well as shop or pay bills, because they don't have a computer. Many of us who are economically fortunate don't always realize there is still a large population of people we come into contact with daily, living paycheck to paycheck. This type of product may look good on paper, but as you have stated, it's not functional for daily use, and definitely not useable for families who need and use their phone/ phone screen to complete hundreds of daily tasks that require visually reviewing data and information. I'm not saying this can't be a good investment, but it's definitely going to be considered a luxury or novelty item vs a resource or productivity tool.
This doesn't seem complete enough to use and not also carry a smartphone so $700 is way too much. Be better off with a smart watch and not checking your phone as much.
yes people can easily snatch this off your clothing or what happens when it rains etc. ..i think the probably will be the fact it has to be attach on the outside of your clothing i just hope it can take water damage or a decent amount can accidents happen..not a bad idea and can always make future improvments i just know i will wait let others but the first experiment
I think it's a very important invention, I don't know if it can replace a cell phone, we'll see this in a few years. In my opinion, this product could be very interesting for those with vision problems.
I just don’t understand it. In world that has contained Siri and Google assistant I’ve always been too self conscious of speaking to my device, especially on the tube and I can’t say I’ve seen anyone else do the same.
I liked the voice translation demo. I also am a pedestrian and of the age when I didn’t have screens, so communicating without isn’t a big deal. That said, I think you summed it up well.
100% agree. 1) Display is essential for many applications. 2) talking limits the usage cases.
Could you imagine how much of a pain it would be to do simple things like get an Uber or view a boarding pass. Device works ok as a peripheral but is nowhere close to being able to replace a phone
yeah it's not replacing phones but that is coming at some point.
i think using a screen for everything is going to be antiquated.
why do you need a screen to book an uber? "book me an uber to xx place"
In the future this could integrate with cars dashboard projection to show the maps there.
It could integrate or be replaced by these brain chips that are coming out and that brain chip could project the imagery to the vision processing part of your brain . Use your thoughts to type messages. Playback your dreams.
Everything in your brain is electric signals , they are going to find a way to tap into it and then you don't need external devices.
I can see this used at hospital for communication with some who is trying to say what’s wrong and a translator on call is an hour out.
They've basically reinvented the pager
I'm confused it has a projector that I would guess is still technically a screen also said projector could of been interesting for netflix
1st version of a Star Trek communicator.
Good point about public transport - because in some countries talking while on public transport is considered rude. This pin would be a complete waste there for people taking that transport.
this would be perfect for people that want to go back to talk and text and stop thier addiction with social media
Despite a few issues here that you point out n price being my main concern, I think it's a good device to cut down on screen time n allow people to interact more physically.
Ultimately i think brain chips will replace most computers and phones.
if the brain chips can send signals to the vision processing part of your brain, then what do you need screens for?
if a brain chip can route audio to the audio processing part of your brain then what do you need headphones or speakers for?
You could text with your thoughts.
Playback your dreams.
It's a wild future.
I agree completely, it is very interesting, experiencing with it would be awesome, but replacing smartphones ? It’s too far from that !! … nowadays the relationships are now by the screen !! New generations love this !
I think the future is to use like AI integrated with the smartphone assistant so when we need, the phone will do everthing by voice
I like it, I want one, especially for social events, dinners, parties, church, conferences, traveling, and doing work-related things outside of the office. I think it's great for the workplace, and focusing on the day-to-day. It is certainly ahead of its time and maybe a bit too ambitious to come off as a replacement for your phone, but it would make a great addition to your phone, an alternative to a smartwatch and it should cost $400. I do know one of their goals is to shift society from constantly looking at their phones and go back to more interactions, so I see where they are coming from.
What's with the spam comments like this rambling its an addition to your phone? Isn't it supposed to make your phone obsolete? So now the scam shifts to this talking point? Ok... pathetic
@@P.Aether maybe I wasn’t clear, I know it’s a replacement to a cellphone, but he made some valid points on that it might not be practical to do so, at least not yet. So I suggested rather than a replacement it should be an addition.
One use case they highlighted was taking a picture of the food using AI pin and logging the calories. If they can really get that right, i can see a good use case.
I think maybe a watch instead of pin. That way you get the screen.
This is really innovating
I can see this being used in law enforcement if they were to make a better suited one.
Smarphones became a toy that includes a tv a music player a computer and a gps, we got used to watching movies on a 6inch screen.
We all know phones are designed to be addictive right? like a game boy back in the day.
This device looks to be all straight forward practicality and I'm all in for it.
When The iphone came out I wasn't all that hyped for it because I knew how to use a computer back in 2008.
Why not make it a watch and project onto the back of your hand and Bluetooth so you use your phone contract
I'm curious about how they tested and validated the market for this.
Maybe a extra keybord in the form of a smartphone. In your pocket
I mean, technically I feel technology around this not just including this, like directions in cars could be synced up to the device. I mean it’s the earliest iteration, tech will get better with time, short time at that
For the price of a smartphone AND A monthly subscription, I can’t imagine this taking off that well. If it were 2-300 and could connect to the phone in your pocket it’d be much better
The idea is good the implementation shady they turned off twitter comments after criticism somebody will build this much better and with much more general utility.
It can replace smartwatch, not the phone itself.
Humane Pin has a lot of room for improvement, but in my case, I would greatly enjoy having a smart device that simulates a personal secretary to whom I can assign tasks and who is always at my disposal. I believe that Humane's closed approach to app usage is absurd and counterproductive, considering that apps are a way to outsource services and thus create a better product.
If this catches on. This will be the next big thing since the iPhone one came out. Especially if Apple or Samsung start doing it. And it can be popular in 7 years. Better than a smart watch that you pay $400 to $600. Just to look at the time or message. This will let you use it as a limited screen.
Honestly if this wasn't so overpriced + the montly subscription and instead were around 200 or 300 hundred dollars maybe I'd buy it. Like I get the idea, we practically lost conection with the smartphone and without social media we have less of invasive technologies.
Maybe if they removed GPT-4 and instead they used something like Llama-2 (or wait for Llama-3 in the future, which will be an open-source GPT-4) + added some must-have apps like Whatsapp but not any of social media then it would be a better product for the market
All of this could have easily just been a free app running on your smartphone, and you'd "use" it by talking through your earbuds...
I would be shocked if they sell more than 10,000 units. I'm surprised the product has made this far. 95% of the people involved have to know this is DoA.
They will be hoping apple buy the patents and add it to there next watch
I think the basic premise of the video is incorrect. In my opinion, the function of this seems to me to eliminate that last bucket - tools.
With this you can run the minutae of your day-to-day life, without having to engage in any admin yourself.
This thing will keep information about your bills, your food at home, your groceries, etc. all without you having to engage with a budgeting app, a grocery list app, etc. day-to-day is going away.
will work in other ways specially on tasks where screen is no needed as a companion .
