The Humane AI Pin is expected to start shipping in March, according to a Friday post on X.
According to the tweet, those who placed priority orders for the pin will be the first to receive them when shipments begin in March. Afterward, the company will start shipping orders in the order they were received, based on their date of purchase.
The pin was created by former Apple employees Bethany Bongiorno and Imran Chaudhri and Humane has partnerships with OpenAI as well as Microsoft and Tidal for its AI capabilities. The pin operates using voice cues and uses a projector to beam information onto a user’s hand.
In addition to the pin’s $699 price tag, users will also have to pay $24 a month to access cellular data on the device, which will run on T-Mobile’s network.
The company officially debuted the device last month where it showed it performing real-time language translation as well as making phone calls and playing music. In the product’s demo video; however, the device also made several mistakes and provided incorrect information, which the company later blamed on “using pre-release software” to produce its demo video.
