This looks even scarier than that TV/camera device by Facebook.
It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and uses a camera, depth, and motion sensors to track and record its surroundings. It has a built-in speaker, which Humane calls a “personic speaker,” and can connect to Bluetooth headphones.
Hell no. If a friend starts wearing a subscription-based body cam connected to “AI”, I’m going to cut them out of my life.
It also sounds so stupid as a concept. Why would I use this instead of a phone camera? The laser display sounds like a much worse equivalent to a tiny smartwatch screen. The only use case might be when doing sports/activities, but we’d need a much more robust device for that (and much faster response times for it to be useful)
Just to clarify:
The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way. It has a “Trust Light,” which blinks on whenever the Pin is recording.
Might not make a difference for people as long as it’s pointing at them and could be recording, but you made it sound like it always is. I also don’t find it desirable in any way, especially with that subscription price tag.
I do get the idea of having a different device form factor for an AI device, but I don’t think we’re there yet for what AI can do. Still interesting through.
And what Facebook TV/camera device are you talking about? The Quest 3? Or Ray ban glasses?
