Entrepreneurs and tech giants, including Meta and Humane, are in a race to create AI wearables such as smart glasses and pendants, aiming to challenge the dominance of smartphones. These devices often rely on voice input, offering a novel approach to AI without the bulk of large displays.
Notable examples include Humane's AI Pin, a projector-based wearable with a simple user interface; Rewind.ai's Pendant, a $59 neck-worn device recording and organizing conversations; and Meta's smart glasses allowing users to interact with an AI chatbot. Tab, a forthcoming smart wearable, aims to understand users' daily lives by listening to conversations.
Meta and Amazon's smartphone challenge: Meta and Amazon are investing in AI wearables to potentially make smartphones obsolete. Facing challenges from Google and Apple in the smartphone market, they seek a share in the future of tech beyond smartphones. Despite the push for new hardware, the smartphone remains deeply ingrained in daily life, presenting both opportunities and challenges for AI wearables.
