Have you ever seen this thing? It had a touchpad and a laser projector that used hand gestures to navigate. It also had voice interaction. So I'm not sure what you mean.

It failed because:

AI sucks and can't do any of the shit it promises, Humane or otherwise.
It was a $700 piece of hardware with a $30/mo subscription to do a worse job at tasks you could already do on the phone you already have.
It overheated constantly to the point that it would nearly burn your skin, and cause the whole device to crash.
The battery only lasted a few hours.
