And this is why the Humane Pin was always a dumb idea. Apple, Google, Samsung, etc just needed to license some LL and diffusion models, then slap camera on all the headphones they make. Boom - instant humane like experience that’s faster, lighter, better looking, has better battery, etc etc.
No futuristic projector UI, but that thing was pretty busted anyway.
The big problem with the humane pin was that it was trying to do processing on the teeny tiny device and that used all it’s battery up in 15 mins generated 300 MW of heat.
Why not just use the phone in your pocket that’s actually designed for this kind of data processing?
As I recall, the original goal was to build a product that allowed you to leave the phone behind so you could be more present in the world.
Problem is, processing and battery power clearly isn’t there yet, and it would require a separate sim for that.
A product that leveraged the phone would’ve been a better V1. It’s kind of the obvious conclusion everyone comes to when they play with this thing in the wild.

This is the most tech bro thing ever.
“Lets innovate ourselves out of a problem that innovation created”
Imagine trying to invent a new class tech instead of just putting your phone down.
