At the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Rabbit unveiled their latest gadget, the R1, for journalists to test out. This new device comes hot on the heels of the launch of the Humane Ai Pin. The R1, priced at just $199, is a small orange gadget with an AI-powered voice interface. In comparison, the Ai Pin comes with a hefty price tag of $699.
The Ai Pin, which is screen-less and relies on voice interface and projector, has been praised for its industrial design. However, the R1 sets itself apart with a 2.88 inch screen, adding a visual element to its functionality. According to TechCrunch, both devices showcase the value of good industrial design in the tech industry.
Reviews of the R1 and Ai Pin suggest that while they are innovative, neither device fully convinces users to replace their smartphones or rely solely on AI chatbots for internet information. Despite this, the hardware industry seems to be wide open for innovation, with Rabbit leading the way with their new releases.
Journalists and consumers alike are encouraged to try out the R1 or Ai Pin and share their thoughts on their experience with the devices. With the CES buzz still lingering, it will be interesting to see how these new gadgets fare in the ever-evolving tech world.
