Humane's Wearable AI Projector in Action 14

Posted by msmash

on Saturday April 22, 2023 @01:30AM from the closer-look dept.
Humane, the top-secret tech startup founded by ex-Apple vets Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, just showed off the first demo for its projector-based wearable at a TED talk. From a report: Axios' Ina Fried broke the news, and Inverse has seen a recording of the full TED talk given by Chaudhri. Journalist Zarif Ali, who had tweeted out an image of Humane's wearable projecting a phone call function onto Chaudhri's palm, says the full TED talk video is not slated to become available until April 22. I've clipped out a demo of the AI-powered wearable in action.

In the summary's link, it shows a notification that "Bethany is calling". Does it project that information all the time or only when it sees your hand held in front of you? Is that information visibly displayed on anything that is in front of you? If so, it might cause problems if everyone knows who is calling you every time you receive a call. "Swedish Hospital ED clinic is calling"

Also, just like with the early AR glasses, some people will not be comfortable if you walk around them with a visible camera device clipped to your clothes. I can think of many places where it would be inappropriate to have a visible camera. i.e. toilets, bars, hotel lobbies, cannabis shops, hospitals, schools

    I think the problem is that people are idiots. A wearable camera? HOW HORRIBLE he declared while holding a device with 5 cameras embedded in it, surrounded by people who each have a camera, some in their hands right now. How do we know this happened? Well his exclamation of disgust was recorded by municipal CCTV as well as security cameras of multiple shops in which he was currently in view.

      ..None of which were recording as they were obviously not being pointed at him or were in pockets, to which he would have taken umbrage if this was not the case. If they were being pointed he could have moderated his behaviour or left. That's the difference. A discreet camera is far more covert than a fondleslab pointed at your face, which is why gl

    What if I'm wearing my coat when the phone rings? Do I have to take it off to answer the call?
