Founded by former Apple employees, the Humane startup showcased an innovative AI- powered wearable device with projection functionality .
It's a well-known fact that Apple often hires the best and most talented people to develop world-class products . Over time, some of these people leave the company and start their own ventures. Imran Chaudhri, who founded Humane after working as a designer at Apple for many years, is one of these talents. The brand introduced its first product at the TED 2023 conference.
The device is a wearable projector with artificial intelligence designed by Humane engineers . It looks like part of the garment and is almost inconspicuous . The only components on the body are the projection components , the camera and the speaker . It should also be noted that the device runs on the Android operating system and Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
"You will no longer need a smartphone"
“ With this device, you will no longer need a phone, ” Chaudhri said several times during the presentation. However, how likely it is for users to replace their AMOLED-screen smartphone with a greenish projection is another matter of discussion . On the other hand, the palm projection looks very futuristic , just like in the movie Time starring Justin Timberlake .
Choudhry also revealed that the Humane wearable device uses artificial intelligence to fluently translate speech into other languages with voice . This innovative solution can be especially beneficial for tourists . Of course, the functionality of the initiative's first device is not limited to this, but the developers have not yet revealed exactly what other features the device will offer
