1/ 🚀 Yesterday, @Humane demoed their upcoming product touted to bring the power of #AI into the physical world.

I've been looking at their patents for a while now, and wanted to share some experimentation with this new form factor! #Humane

2/ I call this WristUI; it's meant to maximize the palm interface for maximum visibility while the wrist area is used for secondary data or alternative input. Think of it like the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch.

3/ ⏲️ Let's explore a Timer app concept. The countdown is displayed on the palm, and you set the timer by sliding through a projected dial around your wrist. It's an intuitive and easy-to-use design. #Timer #UI

4/ 🏃‍♂️ What about an Activities app? With a heart rate sensor and other instruments, the WristUI could display workout info like duration, heart rate, and pace. Integration with devices like Oura Ring could provide even more accurate readings. #FitnessTech

5/ 🚨 Now, let's talk safety, this is my favourite! The Humane device could offer an improved SOS feature by detecting changes in your emotional state and heartbeat. Imagine a safety mode checking up on you and notifying emergency contacts automatically if needed.

6/ 🌃 In this safety mode, the device could detect your elevated heartbeat and prompt more frequent check-ins. If it senses rapid movement or increased heartbeat, it could automatically notify your contacts and send your location, video, and audio.

7/ Here's a link to everything in more detail: zarifali.com/humane.

I've been following Humane since 2018, but this company to me is more than a collection of great innovators...

8/ From the start, @imranchaudhri and @bella_bongiorno have been pushing the importance of creating an AI company built on values that keeps the user's right to privacy at the centre, and by far, this is the most important aspect of Humane's ethos.

9/9 ❤️
Can't wait for the team to fully launch their first product, this will be a new chapter in how we compute and I'm here for it!
