Today is Paris Fashion Week, and designer Coperni’s latest buzzy technology name is “Humane.” Humane’s Ai Pin — a device we’ve so far only seen in silhouette on his website for the company, or peeking out of Humane co-founder Imran Chaudhri’s breast pocket. TED demo earlier this year — pinned to the clothing of multiple Coperni models during the presentation. And it’s a square with rounded corners that makes you think a little bit. Star Trek:TNG-style communicator.
As far as we know, the Coperni showcase doesn’t seem to have been used by anyone on the runway, so it doesn’t answer a lot of questions about this device, but at least we have a basic idea of what it looks like now. I know exactly. We don’t really know yet how self-contained it is, whether it supports third-party apps, or how it operates in general. These questions will be important, especially given Chaudhri’s potential competition from his former Apple colleague Jony Ive and his OpenAI.
Anyway, here are some photos and videos from the showcase, starting with an up-close video of Naomi Campbell wearing it. trend‘s TikTok account:
