A bizarre clip that attaches to your clothing aims to challenge the dominance of the smartphone – even though it doesn’t have a screen.
AI Pin, created by Silicon Valley startup Humane, relies on talking and tapping, rather than typing, to perform commands like sending messages and getting updates.
Instead of displaying information on a screen, it uses a laser projection system to display text and monochromatic images on the user’s hand.
AI Pin contains a virtual assistant powered by technologies from OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and cloud computing power from Microsoft.
But it doesn’t come cheap – it’s retailing at $699, and this doesn’t include an additional monthly fee if you want it to phone people.
