Everyone became an AI hardware skeptic the day Humane and Rabbit went down.
Fair enough. Both of those teams were shipping their first product ever, and it showed.
Apoorv Shankar has spent a decade in hardware. He was VP Hardware at Ultrahuman, built the Ring AIR, and won a Red Dot for it. This year Project Mirage shipped Dune, a context-aware keypad people actually have on their desks.
Now he has raised $5.5M to build the interface that comes after the keyboard and the touchscreen, and he is keeping it in stealth as Aina.
I have no idea what the thing is yet. That track record is enough to make me pay attention.
