2011-08-02
I'm Tim toward all from wind labs i'm here to introduce whim and the whim wearable platform the one platform is about allowing licensees to take whim technology and turn it into wearable products whether that's a SmartWatch a bike handlebar computer a pendant that laughs you pay for things it can really be turned into anything the one platform is based around the wind module which is a small android based computer that has Wi-Fi bluetooth gps accelerometers and magnetometer and allows you to quickly get glances of data in a very readable gestural way you can get in and out of the ops very quickly you can change between apps here's our world clock for example get time around the world get back out let's get my next appointment and if I want even change out my watch face here's one that shows local weather when does this ship so the Developer Preview kit ships in about four weeks and we'll have that available on our website and then licensees we hope to have shipping by the end of the year okay what's inside there again inside the wim module in grab a full module a or show you we've got this is a fun watch face we've got Wi-Fi bluetooth gps accelerometer magnetometer a vibrator for silent alerts and piezo for audible alerts and we packed the whole thing in a water-resistant package that was ceramic right this one is ceramic we both ceramic and plastic some of our licensees have expressed interest in going higher end and for high-end materials ceramics great because it allows us to be RF transparent so all the antennas inside can still communicate and how much do you think a watch with that will be we'll see a whole range of price points from our licensees some of them talking as low as 1 99 and some we're talking as high as over a thousand dollars thanks mm-hmm
