This chapter delves into the design process of a new hardware product that integrates voice, touch, and gesture interactions, addressing challenges in user engagement and feedback. It also explores the potential of voice technology in the IoT landscape while balancing the desire for authentic experiences with the tendency to document them through technology.

The Humane pin is a multi-modal wearable device designed by Humane Inc., a startup co-founded by former Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno. This wearable is part of a broader vision to create more seamless and integrated interactions between humans and technology, moving away from traditional screens.
