Rabbit R1 is presented as a pocket-sized intelligent device that redefines how we interact with technology through a natural language-based interface. Unveiled at CES 2024 by Jesse Lyu, founder and CEO of the startup Rabbit Inc., this device promises to simplify a wide range of daily activities without the need for dedicated apps.
Innovative Design and Advanced Features
With a simple and colorful design, Rabbit R1 offers an intuitive and functional experience. The device features a 2.88-inch touchscreen that allows for smooth and intuitive navigation. Its 360-degree rotatable camera enables unparalleled versatility in video calls and photos. Two built-in microphones and a speaker ensure clear sound transmission, while a scroll wheel and an activation button offer convenient and precise control.
How Rabbit R1 Works
Rabbit R1 is a square-shaped device in red-orange color, roughly the size of a post-it note pad, designed in collaboration with the Swedish company Teenage Engineering. Equipped with a 2.88-inch touchscreen on the left side and an analog scrolling wheel on the right, Rabbit R1 offers advanced functionality and an attractive design.
On the right edge of the device, there’s a push-to-talk button that allows for voice commands to be issued to the R1. While the device can connect to Wi-Fi, it also has a slot for a 4G LTE SIM card for continuous connectivity, eliminating the need to pair it with other devices. The presence of a USB-C port allows for charging, while Rabbit guarantees “all-day” battery life.
Functionality and Use
Rabbit R1 does not replace the smartphone but aims to simplify daily tasks. By using a push-to-talk button, you can issue voice commands to the device. Despite not having dedicated apps, Rabbit R1 can perform a series of activities, such as booking an Uber or adding a song to Spotify playlist, using its Rabbit OS operating system.
Rabbit OS and Learning Capabilities
Rabbit OS functions as a web portal through which access to certain applications is granted. The device does not connect to app APIs or pair with smartphones but allows users to perform actions on services like Uber, Spotify, and Amazon through access to Rabbit OS. Despite potential privacy concerns, Rabbit Inc. claims not to store credentials of third-party users.
Another interesting feature is the experimental learning mode, allowing the device to learn new actions simply by observing how a user performs a task on a mobile, desktop, or cloud device.
Price and Availability
Currently available for pre-order on the official Rabbit website for $199, Rabbit R1 promises to offer exceptional value for its capabilities and features. Shipments are expected in 2024, although delays may occur due to production capacity and component availability.
Conclusion
With Rabbit R1, Rabbit Inc. advances the vision of a future where interaction with technology becomes more natural, intuitive, and effective. With sleek design, advanced features, and a wide range of capabilities, Rabbit R1 positions itself as a pioneer in the field of wearable artificial intelligence.
Stay connected with Rabbit R1 and get ready to experience the future of intelligent interaction.
