HidrateMe Smart Water Bottle

Drinking water is the simplest thing we can do to feel our best every day. But with daily distractions, millions of us don’t take care of ourselves the way we should. We simply forget. That’s why we built HidrateMe, a connected water bottle that tracks your water intake and makes sure that you’re hydrated all day long.

 

The HidrateMe bottle is a 24 oz. – 710 ml. reusable water bottle, made out of BPA free Tritan plastic. It’s dishwasher safe and comes with a leak proof cap. The sensor stick inside the bottle automatically tracks how much you drink throughout the day. It sends information to the Hidrate app on your phone and glows when its time to drink more water. The battery is easily replaceable and sold in most stores, and it lasts over a year, so you never need to recharge it.

We carry our water bottles with us everywhere, that’s why we designed a bottle that could transition from the office to the gym. It’s a natural extension of yourself.

It’s sleek, elegant, and smart. Surprise! There’s a ripple design under the lid! We love the little things that makes you smile. The HidrateMe has a pour style mouth piece that’s simple to use.

The Hidrate app is fun and easy to use. Here is a little demo video of the app and how the bottle works and syncs via Bluetooth. Plus it glows if you haven’t had anything to drink for an extended period of time to remind you to stay hydrated.

Our app is as friendly and playful as it is easy and effective to use. Oh and the best part, the app is completely FREE and works on iPhone and Android! The app will be available for download winter 2015.

Designed with you in mind, our app has a friendly and thoughtful user interface. Starting with your height, weight, age and activity level the app calculates just how much water you should be drinking throughout the day.

Its easy to see your progress towards your goals, and you also receive reminders if you fall off track. The app also integrates with your wearables to help tune your water goals even more accurately to your activities. Using your location, the app can adjust your daily water goal depending on the temperature, humidity, and elevation of your surroundings.

Oculus reveals its consumer Rift VR headset

Three long years after Oculus unveiled its VR headset to the world, it now finally has one ready for consumers. Say hello to the Rift headset that you can actually buy. It features two OLED screens that promises clarity and a wide field of view. It also has a tracking system which CEO Brendan Iribe says has a very low latency movement that the company has refined over the years. Interestingly, there’s also now an external sensor that you can put on your desk, which replaces the webcam-like sensor from earlier Oculus headsets. They’ve also integrated a pair of headphones into the headset itself, which Iribe says has that 360-degree spatialized audio that’s so integral to a more immersive environment. And yes, you can remove them to add your own headphones. The headset itself is designed to fit better. There’s a dial to better adjust the distance between your eyes (also known as the interpupillary distance), plus the whole thing is covered in cloth for more comfort. And if you wear glasses? No problem, because it now fits those of us with corrective lenses as well.

Oh, and there’s more! Iribe says they’re also bundling in a wireless Xbox One controller and wireless PC receiver with the headset as well. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, said on stage that the Rift will work seamlessly with Windows 10, but even better news for gamers is that people will also be able to stream Xbox games like Halo to the Rift. You’ll see them projected in a simulated living room, like watching something in Oculus Cinema. And what’s a VR headset without games? Oculus also announced that games like Eve Valkyrie will be available at launch. Others include Chronos from Gunfire Games and Edge of Nowherefrom Insomniac. Oculus is working on lots more games for launch, and they’ll be previewing some of them at E3 next week.

As a nice incentive for developers, Oculus is also announcing a $10 million prize to encourage indie game development. Nate Mitchell, VP of Oculus, also showed off Oculus Home, a combination store and home interface for the Rift. As for the date? As we already know, the consumer Rift will be available in Q1 2016.

One more thing: Oculus founder Palmer Luckey introduced a brand new controller for use with the Rift simply called Oculus Touch. It promises hand presence, manipulation, low mental load, communicative gestures, traditional inputs and a lightweight feel. You’ll get two of them, one for each hand. They each have a sort of half-moon shape, an analog joystick and a palm touch button of sorts. While the Xbox One controller is great for today’s games, Oculus Touch is something we’ll be using for more advanced VR experiences over the coming years.

There’s still plenty of questions of course. How much is it? When can we order it? Unfortunately we just don’t know the answers just yet. But stay tuned for more impressions of the new hardware and perhaps more behind-the-scenes info as we head into E3 next week.

Giggo 360 Electric Toothbrush

The story of the project

Though we’ve come a long way since the days of manual toothbrushes, modern-day electric toothbrushes still often fall short of our modern expectations for superior dental care. No longer is a simple two-minute scrub sufficient – we want that dentist-fresh clean from home, every time.

Ushering in a new era of electric toothbrush, the Giggo 360 Electric Toothbrush stands out from the standard electric toothbrushes on today’s market. Utilising a specially designed brush head, the sonic cleaning effect and overall experience is unlike anything that’s come before it.

The Giggo 360 brushes each individual tooth according to its growth direction, deeply cleaning the tooth surface and gaps, and massaging the gums. With a super soft bristle and an optimal head-spinning speed, you’ll experience the gentlest yet most thorough cleaning experience.

Appropriating the idea behind manual PAP brushing method, the Giggo 360’s brush head operates in two directions: up to down for your upper row of teeth, and down to up for the lower row. This ensures nothing is missed and your teeth are left super clean every time. The Giggo 360 also simultaneously cleans the gum line and massages the gums. Your mouth will feel cleaner than ever before!

Why a Giggo 360 over a standard electric toothbrush?

HereMi-S3 Smart Bracelet with Gems

The story of the project

In recent years, smart wearable objects have become the covetable device of the day. Everybody has some kind of wearable tech adorning their wrists, but much of it is focused on function rather than form. That’s where the HereMi-S3 Smart Bracelet with Gems fills a hole in the wearable tech market. The S3 Smart Bracelet is as beautiful as it is useful, allowing wearers to look fashionable while keeping their finger on the pulse of technology.

To help you keep on top of life’s demands, the HereMi-S3 Smart Bracelet with Gems offers all the features you’d expect from a smart wearable device. It operates in conjunction with an app compatible with iOS (6.0 and above) and Android (4.3 and above) platforms, and also features Bluetooth functionality for the ultimate in wireless convenience.

It allows you to master your day-to-day chores and events, as well as helping you develop constructive daily habits. You’ll never forget another important event again!

Some of our most notable features include:

1. Phone call alerts
How many times have you missed a call because you couldn’t hear your phone or feel it vibrate, despite carrying it on your person? We understand that can be very irritating, which is why the S3 Smart Bracelet features a phone call alert function. When your phone rings, a colourful light effect and dynamic vibrations give you an intimate and gentle prompt to answer the phone.

2. Fashionable clock display
When you move your hand or tap on the bracelet, twelve LED lights activate to display the time. On the hour, the clock face conveniently lights up, while it flashes quickly for three seconds when the minutes hit multiples of five (eg. 1.05pm, 1.10pm, 1.15pm etc).

3. Memo reminder
By writing your important notes in the convenient memo function in the app, you’ll receive a gentle reminder through the bracelet when scheduled. Never miss an important meeting or birthday again!

It’s something we all struggle with: drinking enough water throughout the day. The HereMi-S3 Smart Bracelet with Gems prompts you when you should drink more water, helping you maintain your hydration levels.

5. UV indicators
The bracelet further helps you stay in control of your health by informing you of UV levels when you’re outside. You’ll never be caught out with an unexpected sunburn again.

GYENNO Spoon for hand tremors

Technology is always evolving, changing our lives in ways we previously could never have imagined. New advances in technology swiftly become ingrained in our everyday lives, replacing burden and inconvenience with easy solutions.

The GYENNO Spoon is the newest technological advance that will change people’s lives forever. Designed for the millions of people suffering from hand tremors, the GYENNO SPOON allows them to live a life free of stress and anxiety.

Features of the spoon

The GYENNO Spoon is smart tableware device, offsetting 85% of unwanted tremors. As a result, users of the spoon will find eating to be a simpler, intuitive experience, resulting in less embarrassment, more convenience, and increase confidence. The ultimate aim of the GYENNO Spoon is to give people suffering from hand tremors the opportunity to fully enjoy their meals and ultimately experience a higher quality of life, and we feel we’ve achieved that through our product. Now, we need you to help bring it to the people who need it most.

The GYENNO Spoon’s intelligent high-speed servo control system provides fast and accurate 360-degree stabilisation. Our specially designed algorithm automatically distinguishes between intentional hand motion and unconscious tremors, working to correct only unconscious movements.

We’ve worked to give you the safest eating experience with the GYENNO Spoon, deeply considering each component of the device. Featuring a tritan exterior, the spoon is BPA-free, heat and chemical resistant, non-toxic, non-irritating, and contains medical-grade silicones.

Switching on and off automatically, the GYENNO Spoon’s smart technology turns it to sleep mode when you’ve finished eating – you don’t even need to press a button. The significantly reduced power consumption means you needn’t worry about frequently recharging the battery. With a charge life of 180 minutes and a convenient notification light to display the battery status, you can enjoy three full meals a day without fuss.

With an easy-to-hold, non-slip ergonomic design, the GYENNO Spoon weighs just 130 g. It features interchangeable utensil attachments, including a fork, spoon and soupspoon, making it perfectly convenient for every meal. It’s the perfect smart spoon for anyone!

Our specially designed operating system automatically uploads your tremor status to the cloud system, self-generating an algorithm unique to your individual hand tremors. This distinctive algorithm ensures your tremors will be corrected as accurately as possible, thereby improving the performance of the spoon.

The GYENNO Spoon is simple in aesthetics and use but not in its design. It integrates intelligent control modules, high-performance motor components, a precision transmission structure, and high-precision sensor, all in a limited space. This complexity is hidden away inside the device to provide an easy and comfortable user experience.

Is the GYENNO Spoon right for you?

Generally speaking, the GYENNO Spoon works effectively for people with a hand tremor amplitude of less than 7 cm. It provides limited benefits if your tremor amplitude is out of this range.

To find out whether the GYENNO Spoon is right for you, use the simple test below:
1. Cut a 7×7 cm square hole in the centre of an A4 piece of paper.
2. Ask a friend to vertically hold the piece of paper with both hands. Take a pen and hold it in the centre of the hole for 20 seconds, with your hand as close to the hole as possible.
3. Referring to the test videos below, observe and note the amplitude of your hand tremor.

The GYENNO Spoon is perfect for you if the pen can be kept in the hole most of the time.If the pen hits the paper, please consult us for further information.
