Humane’s AI Pin: all the news about the new AI-powered wearable

After a very long windup, Humane has finally revealed all the details of the AI Pin, its new AI-powered wearable that’s designed to be something that can keep your head out of your smartphone. The gadget itself is small and can attach to your clothes using a magnetic battery pack so that it’s within easy reach. By tapping the AI Pin, you can ask it to do smartphone-y things like make phone calls, text your friends, play music, and catch you up on your email. And it has a laser projector that can cast a UI onto your hand to control certain aspects of the device.

We still haven’t actually tried the AI Pin for ourselves, so we still don’t know if it lives up to its lofty promises. And it costs $699 with a $24-per-month subscription, so it’s not cheap. But if you want to roll the dice on the new gadget, preorders open on November 16th.
