Thanks to a collaboration between OpenAI and former Apple designer Jony Ive, a revolutionary device is set to change the way the iPhone and smartphones are known, CEO Sam Altman said recently, with a new report revealing the device’s potential and price.
OpenAI’s three innovative products
According to the report cited by PhoneArenaOpenAI is developing three different products, the most notable being a smart speaker equipped with a camera and microphone. This device could cost between £200 and £300 and may not launch until early next year.
Although it is described as portable, the smart speaker will also serve as a smart home device offering suggestions and responding to user queries.
Besides the smart speaker, OpenAI is also reportedly working on a smart lamp that could tentatively function as a smart home hub, while complementing the speaker’s inherent capabilities.
The future of smart glasses
Another of OpenAI’s incredible adventures is in the field of augmented reality, as the maker of ChatGPT designs a pair of smart glasses to compete with competitors like Meta, Apple, Google and Samsung. In doing so, OpenAI could aim to capture a share of the emerging AR market.
OpenAI’s smart glasses could just as easily remedy the lack of displays on the speaker and lamp.
The smart speaker and glasses are not expected to hit the market until 2028.
Even though OpenAI’s CEO has generated excitement among crazy fans of these products, skepticism persists about their practicality and true innovation.
