Humane: the technological object that will send the iPhone into retirement

A tedTalk unveiled what could be the high tech wearable that could make iPhones and tablets obsolete and has been called Humane . The irony is that it was actually developed by two former Apple employees.

Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno have developed Humane with an "even smarter and more personal future," according to the company's website.

Humane aims to replace cell phone screens with a voice-activated assistant that projects everything from calls to messages onto the user's hands. The projector promises to solve several problems of modern technology, including the need to constantly check cell phones, the physical limitations of touch screens and limited accessibility.

Here is the presentation tedTalk

“If we succeed, AI will open up a world of possibilities for us. Today I want to share what we think is a solution. And it's the first time we've done it openly. It's a new type of wearable and a platform built entirely from the ground up for artificial intelligence. And it is completely autonomous. You don't need a smartphone or other device to pair it,” he added.

With Humane, users can experience more seamless technology integration into their lives by replacing mobile phones with wearable gadgets. This tool could open up new possibilities for language translation and personalized assistance, as well as simplify communication.

Humane , as it turns out, is a standalone device, so you don't need a smartphone or other service to pair it. The absence of the screen also comes to lower the energy consumption of the product.

“It interacts with the world the same way you interact with the world around you – hearing what you hear, seeing what you see, maintaining privacy and security, and completely disappearing into the background of your life,” Chaudhri explains.

All good, but how does it work in real life? “In terms of calls, as soon as [Chaudhri] raised his hand, the device displayed the appropriate interface for incoming calls, with no menus to navigate,” designer Michael Mofina told Inverse.

Whatever your views on Humane, this technology can dramatically change the way we interact with technology if it works as intended and is as reliable and affordable as smartphones have become today.

Humane has obtained a first round of financing for 100 million, but we are sure that after this presentation there will be no problems in obtaining further resources.
