As technology advances, what kind of device could one day replace the smartphone? An American startup called Humane could have the answer, with its recently demonstrated concept device. The latter is capable of projecting information and notifications – and allowing users to interact with them – directly in the palm of their hand rather than on a conventional screen.

Humane is a startup founded by two former Apple executives: Imran Chaudhri, a designer who worked on the iPhone user interface, and Bethany Bongiorno, a software engineering manager. It was during a TED talk in Vancouver that Imran Chaudhri caused a sensation by showcasing an amazing concept in the form of a small device, essentially a wearable that can be attached to an item of clothing like a brooch.
