Humane, a startup established by former Apple employees recently showcased a live demo of their new standalone wearable device designed to serve as a personal assistant with AI capabilities. The tiny unit can provide summaries of emails, calendar invites, and messages, it can identify objects, it can translate, and even project a screen onto nearby surfaces, reports The Verge.
Humane, which is headed by Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, aims to design an AI assistant, which — as the name of the company suggests — is as human-like as possible. The company recently demonstrated the device's capabilities ata TED Talk. The prototype can be controlled using voice (i.e., it has a microphone) and gesture (i.e., it has a camera) commands, which is how human beings interact with each other. Meanwhile, AI capabilities of the product can put the information it receives into context.
