The futuristic-looking Humane AI Pin has appeared in action on video for the first time, revealing a cool but tedious-looking user interface.

What Happened: Humane AI Pin uses the palm as a surface to display information to its users, allowing them to use finger pinches as navigation gestures.

The design is similar to heads-up displays in cars that project information on a surface instead of requiring a dedicated screen.

The video, reposted by Humane co-founder and CEO Bethany Bongiorni, shows off the AI Pin using the palm as a display surface to show text and other elements. The user is then shown using finger pinch gestures to navigate the UI and make "taps".

Overall, the AI Pin's user interface looks quite similar to that of a smartwatch, and Humane has the advantage of a slightly larger surface area thanks to the palms being generally larger than a watch's display.

The UI elements are spaced out well enough to be readable as well.

But Here's The Catch: However, given the fact that you cannot touch the display in the traditional sense, you have to rely exclusively on gestures to get things done.

While this looks fancy and futuristic, the navigation interface could get tedious pretty quickly – to navigate up or down, you have to tilt the palm. Making selections requires the user to pinch using the forefinger and the thumb.

Lastly, going back to the previous menu requires the user to close the palm.

You can even send messages using the Humane AI Pin, but you will have to rely on dictation to have the text typed out. The video shows an option to review the text once before sending it.

The Humane AI Pin costs $699 and requires a $24 per month subscription for cell service. It also comes with OpenAI integration.

Humane's investors include Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), Qualcomm Inc.'s (NASDAQ:QCOM) investment arm Qualcomm Ventures, Tiger Global, Volvo Cars Tech Fund, and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman.
