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”
Chaudhri said several times during the presentation: “With this device, you will no longer need a phone.” used the phrases. 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.
