The Humane AI Pin sought to transform wearable tech but was discontinued after facing major challenges.

Launched in early 2024, the Humane AI Pin was a screenless wearable device designed to provide AI-driven assistance through voice commands and a laser projection interface. Despite its innovative approach, the device struggled with performance issues and limited functionality.

In February 2025, Humane announced the discontinuation of the AI Pin, with devices ceasing to function after February 28, 2025. The company's assets were acquired by HP for $116 million.

Key points:

Innovative Design: Aimed to reduce screen time by offering a voice and projection-based interface.

Operational Challenges: Users reported issues with responsiveness and limited practical applications.
