the guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world but learning guitar takes time commitment and is tough on the hands can we focus on the music and not the aching fingers introducing curve guitar no strings attached we design the curve to fit the shape of your hand and reach of your fingers your fingers can comfortably touch eight distinct places on your palm there are eight chords in a key eight notes in an octave and eight notes in a scale starting up the curve is simple download connect and play to play the curve you simply press down on the touchpad and strum the ping the curve has three guitars electric acoustic and bass the curve recognizes a variety of gestures a sideways flick of the wrist will change the octave up or down whilst the downwards flick will switch between a single mode and a cord shaking the curve whilst playing a note will produce a vibrato effect we've included music sheets for 60 hit songs to get you playing right away the curves intelligent tutorials track your progress and provide intuitive feedback on your playing whatever your ambition curve will be there from your first chord all the way to a recording studio know how to play an instrument or know the basics of music you can use the curve to compose your own songs on the go curve gives access to the chromatic scale and to a full palette of chords as well as using curves own music synthesis software you can also use it as a midi controller with software like garageband Pro Tools and ableton live get ahead of the curve support us now the brains led to the mobile headband unit that helps the brain to dynamically balanced for important parts of the brain so the frontal folds which control your emotional Center so when you're happy when you're sad when you're upset when you're frustrated and then the temporal lobes which controls your stress response so the headband basically reads the information from those four areas it sends it back to the or tablet which then converts it to a corresponding musical tone and then the musical tone is sent back to your earphones so basically you're listening to a musical version of your brain activity and when that happens it becomes like an acoustic near so the brain is able to actually listen to its own activity and by doing that it can start to self optimizes what we call it but balance its own activity or performance since using this technology I've personally noticed i just feel like more present moments from a technical perspective we are supporting the brain to self optimize its own rhythms and on its own terms and I'm not aware of any product on the market place that's does such a thing just by looking into this kind of sound brace mirror the brain has a chance to perceive its own activity and make its own Corrections just like someone who's grooming themselves in a mirror can make very accurate corrections to their appearance I do not think this product has any capacity to hurt a person I use of myself every day since we first created the prototypes in March and I love it and I really built like being without it I've also used it with some early adopters who are happy to join me in this path of well-being especially my two daughters aged 6 and 9 and they also love it so be too this is it notice that we have four sensors here and we have two areas for sensors on the side here too but it'll slip on like this and then there's a there's a controller box and that you can just stick in your pocket that controller box will actually connect to a tablet computer that we include with the device and then that tablet computer you can watch your brain you can be encouraged to relax and then there are earbuds along with it too that go from the tablet computer to produce the sound for you and this is the b2 product I'm a tech guy love technology background in math and physics later background in theology actually in psychology at a point in time for me I was compromised because of an assault and for youth and one had a baseball bat and from that assault my life changed you know my life was taken up by quote-unquote trying to get help and I couldn't and I couldn't find that kind of funny at the time actually many people told me that was in my head well I started to look and then I figured out because I'm a scientist to remember hey this is silly what we know of the brain is that it has more connections than all then there are known cubic meters in the universe you think I should be able to figure out what that bring this brain is going to do know let's instead try to get that brain to see itself and know that it doesn't have to be the way it is I think people should support us to bring peace in the world to help change the world for that purpose and we probably singly in the world we can now make a big difference and you can help us man's history is one of making tools tools that translate intention into fine works of men innovating every step of the way let me introduce myself I am NOT and I am here to help you control anything you put your mouse cursor over you can use me with faders scroll those sliders of course I can also control virtual knobs use me to drag pretty much anything the vertices or horizontally how about dragon keyframes doing clip ethics fades I can work with radial elements too and I love helping you bribed audio tracks or perform quality automation knob features a weighted solid aluminium knob and a very precise industrial grade encoder delivering super smooth operation and bringing back that good old radio tuning feeling that has been missing from most modern media production environments knob is a high quality product all the electronics are housed inside a durable handcrafted hard wood mahogany enclosure we've chosen only the finest materials in order to create a device that is made to last this would not have been possible without the help from experienced craftsman putting their hearts to what they're doing it can be used with almost any program on any operating system including Windows Mac Linux or Android right out of the box without having to install any extra drivers or special software this is possible by intelligently emulating a human interface device like your standard mouse or keyboard use it with touchscreens to control any element you touch it's even possible to combine it with desktop I tracking technology to simply control what you set your eyes on and there's more nob is a number of additional productivity features that make it shine in any media authoring environment like for example touching the right toggle switch to temporarily flip the drag direction or double tap its big knob to undo or redo the last drag how about double tapping the left toggle switch to jump between two screen elements of your choice this is great for mixing mastering or color grading where you want to precisely adjust one parameter against the other knob also features an open serial protocol interface to allow developers to use it in any application they might find a useful headphones you're in your own little world you can miss out on hearing something important or just something out of the ordinary and that's why i invented sound break this gadget allows you to be aware of your surroundings while you listen to headphones on any audio player here's how it works it's very simple you plug sound break into your audio player you plug your headphones into it sound break listens to your surroundings and one outside sound is louder than your normal background noise it temporarily silence is your audio so you'll know that something is going on you can adjust the audio silencing level manually or by pressing these preset buttons by pressing this button the audio silencing level is automatically set to be higher than your background noise after college I have so many ideas I didn't even know where to start I thought okay this sound break idea is what I should be focusing on because I'm looking around and people are just more oblivious to their environment than ever I wanted to create a better solution than other options that don't allow you to be fully immersed in your audio like using open-air headphones that always allow all sound to pass through or using single ear headphones there's so many things that could be trying to get your attention everyday things you can miss someone trying to call out to you or just a general announcement pizza's here get before it's gone whether you're listening to music jogging or exercising playing video games lounging watching a video or movie or waiting you can be isolated all the time I was working full-time as an electrical engineer and a design sound break in my spare time I made my first prototype and people complain that it was too bulky wasn't rechargeable and didn't look like a finished product I was up all night thinking about how I could redesign sound break the room was all dark and before I knew it the room was turning into a light blue I had this vision sleeker rechargeable I thought okay this new design is going to be great and I need to get some sleep now I spent the next few months madly redesigning sound break i redesigned the hardware to allow it to be laid out into a square shape redesign also allowed me to use a rechargeable coin cell battery instead of the triple a battery I had used before with an estimated 100 hours of battery life it includes a micro USB charger I had a custom enclosure design for the board and made the vision a reality it took a lot of work to get this prototype made and now I need your backing to bring this into production and give you the freedom to be able to fully enjoy your audio without missing out on your world I decided to name the company's Sunday electronics because a sunday is so much better than a single scoop thank you so much for your support imagine a computer and media controller that could be so comfortable and natural that you can use it like a pen meet the Jester this is the first air mouse that you can use with any computer and without any surface that allows all your hand motions it works like your mouse having to censor buttons the built-in motion sensors allow you to scroll up and down zoom in and out by simply rotating the gesture let's see how it works with gesture pointing is relative it's all in the tilt of the device to function as a mouse make sure your finger or thumb is touching the first ring then it's all in the wrist tilt the gesture back and forth up and down it does not need to point at your screen or the device to scroll twist the gesture between your thumb and index finger again no need to point at the screen soon you will find that tilting and twisting motion that drives the gesture will become a very ergonomic and easy to use navigational device gesture is the latest and battery-powered wireless point and navigational devices having an extremely intuitive human interface gesture is perfect for work presentations are having fun with friends you can use it with any media interface that takes a mouse as an input scrolling content on the screen by smoothly rotating the gesture in your hands how cool is that we live in an amazing time advances in technology and medicine are transforming the way we live our lives and everyday people are having ideas that are changing the world but here's the thing you have ideas too but sometimes it's hard to know what to do with them hey I'm David I'm a doctor writer and like so many of us I've always wanted to get involved in this creative world of inventors and online startups but I haven't known how it's like there's this disconnect right you have this urge to create you have this idea you have inspiration but you don't know what to do with all of it and then every time we read business magazines tech magazine medical journals it's like the people that we read about already had everything figured out it's like they had something special that we don't have what I could never find was something that actually explored where these ideas came from and then showed us how people went from the idea to reality that's the kind of magazine that I always wanted and after spending hundreds of hours talking to tons of people I found out that I wasn't alone that's why I created the invented app invented is a digital magazine app it lives on your smartphones and tablet devices so it goes everywhere you do and every month a new issue is published to your device and these issues will show you some of the most inspiring technology that's being created and then take you behind the scenes to see how but we're not just interested in the latest shiny device we want to show you inventions that are making the world a healthier happier place you'll hear about jewelry that's helping prevent women from being assaulted you'll hear about companies that are making 3d printed arms for children born without limbs who even hear about a device that's small enough to snap into your smartphone and helps read DNA all the palm of your hand but we won't be stopping there every time we explore new technologies will take you behind the scenes to meet the people that created these are people like you and me who started out with an idea and nothing else and then turned it into what it is today and along the way we'll show you step by step everything they did to go from an idea to the actual reality that we see because that's the important part we want to show you how to get there and this app is so much more than just a two-dimensional magazine you'll see videos you'll get to hear interviews with startup founders you'll even have access to an online community so that you can meet and collaborate with other like-minded readers we've got an amazing team of writers and designers and editors but we can't do this without you to make this a reality we need your support so join us today thanks for watching you
