Smartphones are part of everyone’s lives in every aspect that you can think of. You can access the mails, speak to people, watch movies, play games, shoot pictures and even make payments. There is no doubt that the evolution of a smartphone has now moved into the top gear but questions are being asked about its evolution and where does the future go from here.
Well, turns out, the future of phones could be replaced with our palms and gestures, and this 3D experience could be offered via devices like the Humane AI Pin which was unveiled recently.
Ex-Apple Designer Looking Into The Future
The man behind this unique device is Imran Chaudhri who has an impressive track record and achievements in the tech industry, the most notable being part of the Apple setup with Steve Jobs at the helm. Chaudhri was part of Apple’s growing years where was involved in the development of products like the iPod, iPhone, and even the iPads.
His work mostly revolved around building the interface for these products which gives him a definite advantage to understand the psyche of the users and how they operate devices. In fact, he is one of the people to be involved in creating the square icons for the grid on an iPhone that has become part of other platforms over the years.
Why AI Pin?
So, what has compelled Chaudhri to leave the green pastures of Apple after over 20 years at the company? During the keynote of the Humane AI Pin, he highlighted the need to innovate in an industry which is now focused on pure specs rather than experiences.
He believes that the lifespan of a smartphone screen is limited and that is where you have the AI Pin coming to the fore and taking over your palms to give a holistic experience. He started Humane in 2019 after leaving the company along with his co-partner who was also part of the event stream last week.
Chaudhri has decades of experience working out the experiential factor of phones, and AI Pin is looking to change that which is going to be a momentous occasion in the history of tech but this isn’t the first time we’re seeing a product like this, at least in the fictional world. People would say how can we replace smartphone screens with a 3D projection on the hand?
But when you rewind back to the days of the feature phones with keypads, nobody would have thought about having a full screen phone. And it seems that the future of screen is not going to be about them folding or wrapping around your wrist but work through the hands itself.
