The future of wearables is evolving rapidly, thanks to two innovative devices: the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1. In contrast to usual wearables based on fitness or alerts, these devices aimed to transform human-machine interaction by replacing smartphones with AI-first experiences.
The Humane AI Pin is a low-profile, screen-less piece of kit you attach to your garment. It has a projector, microphone, speaker, and camera built in, all powered by a cloud AI platform. Instead of apps, it works with natural language and body gestures, beaming information onto your hand or nearby surface. Need to translate speech, summarize messages, or get directions? Just ask. Humane is working to compute ambiently, reducing screen dependency and digital clutter.
Alternatively, Rabbit R1 offers a more whimsical appearance but with equally lofty ambitions. With a rotatable camera, touchscreen, and its own Large Action Model (LAM), Rabbit R1 doesn't just answer questions—it learns about your usage of apps and replicates those habits. It's as if having a personal aide that can place takeout orders, book taxis, or compose emails based on your routines.
What's revolutionary in both devices is not the hardware, but AI-first interfaces. Instead of tapping icons, users interact with the devices using conversational AI, gestures, and context-aware computing. It's a direct departure from app-oriented ecosystems to intent-based experiences.
Even in their nascent stages, both Humane and Rabbit are signaling a post-smartphone future—one where technology recedes into the background and natural interaction takes center stage.
As machines become more powerful, we might, with these kinds of wearable devices, revolutionize how we live, work, and interact—hands-free and screen-light.
