this is Lumos the world's first smart bicycle helmet that provides integrated lights with brake and turn signals I love cycling because of the freedom it gives me to get around quickly and easily but I often feel invisible at night even with my bike lights on that's why I created Loomis I wanted to take control of my own safety by building a helmet that will make me more visible to everyone on the road Lumos is a next-generation helmet that brings intuitive and common-sense features to your most important piece of gear at its core the most say comfortable helmet designed to be both sleek and strong with more than 60 of built-in LEDs Lumos really helps you stand out at night it's lights make you more visible in all directions because they are higher and larger than traditional bicycle mounted lights and since they are part of the helmet you don't have to worry about your lights being stolen off your bicycle or forgotten at home with a built-in accelerometer Lumos detects when you're slowing down and automatically displays a brake light so that people behind you and easily see and react to your changing speed hand turn signals are often hard to see at night Lumos displays left and right turn signals controlled by a wireless remote on your handlebar so that drivers can see your intentions and give your space we built limos to be rugged and water-resistant with one button to turn on and simple micro USB charging Lumos is easy to use and fits seamlessly into your daily routine after more than a year of research and development here in Boston we have a finalized design and are working with a factory that has more than twenty years of experience building high quality helmets we are ready for production but first we need your help by backing this campaign you could be one of the first people in the world to receive this helmet and be part of the movement for better cyclist safety to get Lumos out on the road please also consider sharing this with your friends and people you know who bike thank you so much for your support be seen and be saved it's been our ongoing mission into world war and I just predict the future but to make it and we're doing that by bringing the world the most advanced virtual reality glasses the challenge first began three years ago when we saw that many VR products were being released but each product kept getting larger and heavier there were no companies focused on creating a lightweight dr product that allowed users to experience virtual reality anywhere without being tied down to computer desktops so the magic happens in connecting the v1 glasses to the d1 that's what allows the VR experience to become completely portable the d1 you have a full-size computer in your pocket it comes with two G's of RAM and a touch screen that has summit to sensory functionality that enables easy control of the glasses the v1 and d1 have taken years of extensive development and research leading all the way to our current product a single pair of lightweight modern VR glasses that give our users a complete VR immersion experience I go to a lot of 3d movies and usually I'm straining to see but with this this new panoramic view I think this is something I would like to invest in it feels like you could just touch these things that are right in front of you what was your first experience of the weight of the v1 that said they were so light I just couldn't believe a lot of the other ones to seem quite quite heavy and a bit cumbersome these ones were just like I was wearing a pair of glasses so far we've received great feedback from folks all across the VR and tech world that had a chance to try the v1 and d1 and that's why we're here we've reached this point in our development and we're here on Kickstarter to ask backer support to help us launch the v1 and d1 to the world please make a pledge and join our mission of bringing the v1 and d1 to market let's reinvent the future and create a new world of VR together we all want to be that person the one who wakes up early dives straight into a morning meditation is super productive at work drinks those eight glasses of water Thanks and our brains want to follow the ones we already have not the new ones we're trying to cram in but sometimes all you need is the right nudge hi I'm Kayla and meet Modi a smart companion for building better habits we created Modi with a distinct purpose to empower people to take those small steps that over time result in big impacts in our health and happiness these more than just a cute face Modi is designed in the latest insights from both behavioral science and social robotics when you place Modi in your home or office every time you walk by he becomes an instant reminder to keep committed each time you do your have it Modi is there to help you track and celebrate your small wins giving you that immediate gratification the better you get the more excited 30 times but slack off and Modi might get angry for SAP or stay purely encouraging Modi knows what works best for you because he's connected to the web he's constantly analyzing and evolving so he knows how you're progressing if you're at risk of falling off and when to send the right types of nudges specifically for you compare all this to the same daily push notification you keep ignoring so how can something so simple actually change your behavior to tell you about how we form good habits let's start with something that we're all familiar with forming a bad habit boom cookie fundamentally your brain needs three things to form a habit a trigger a routine and a reward when I saw that plate of cookies I didn't even think about grabbing one my brain immediately triggered me and I knew that eating that cookie would reward me with its sweet doughy deliciousness your brain forms good habits in just the same way by completing this loop over and over again Modi works by seamlessly integrating these three elements into your busy lifestyle Modi himself is a trigger more specifically what's known as an environmental cue and by using Modi your habit is already set up to be small distinct and actionable finally movie celebrations provide an immediate reward he makes sure that you feel satisfied and accomplished each and every time and perhaps a big guilty if you're not moenay's the outcome of over a year of human centered design and engineering rigor we discovered that triggers and rewards driven by emotion are far more potent than numbers lists or alarms now we're finally ready to release movies straight to you the only question is what habit will be formed when we can't help you magically climb Mount Everest or run a marathon overnight he's there to help you do something more essential become a better view one habit at a time but we need your help please back us and be a part of bringing Modi to life I wanted a good keyboard and there weren't any out there I figured well how hard could this be and then we built the best keyboard we possibly could it's not what you'd expect from keyboard the people love it creating a keyboard is kind of a weird thing it's been in obsession hi I'm Jesse Vincent I'm co-founder and CTO of keyboard EO I'm kaya Dekker I'm the CEO of keyboard EO I'm also married to Jesse most people are typing 8 plus hours a day on uncomfortable flat plastic boxes that are pretty much the same as they were a hundred years ago you deserve something better in a musician's not like well just take the plastic guitar off the shelf it'll be fine when I'm staking my entire career and my you know my professional everything on this like they're really thinking about it I found a bunch of research but better keyboard layouts how your hands work and what actually matters in keyboard design and every he board designed in the last 20 years is flat-out ignored it so we built a good keyboard the model one is different it takes some getting used to but it's worth it the model one is that great sort of tool that supports the way you want to work and that gets out of the way unless you do the kind of work that you can get done without it and I love the way my fingertips kind of rest in the keys and have easy two keys are to reach we're trying to build a keyboard you'll enjoy using for years we have this gorgeous maple wood enclosure you've sculpted the key caps to guide your fingers to the right keys and yeah it lights up the LEDs that glow from under each key are actually totally customizable and program for regionally the butterfly shape was an accident but we loved it it feels warm it feels friendly ever gonna keep right out in public and people look at it and say can I touch it it's a keyboard you're supposed to touch it that's the whole point up till now we've been designing and designing and designing and testing and testing and testing we've made dozens of prototypes before we liked one enough to call it the model one and now we're gonna make a few thousand I spent most of my career building open-source software it was important to us that we build an amazing product that wasn't going to be locked down most products get worse over time open products get better because it's open source hardware I know that I can customize it to my needs and then share those customizations with the community you're gonna get firmware source code you're gonna get schematics to the electronics you're gonna get a screw driver even if you never touch a line of code plenty of other typists will and their work will make your keyboard better this is a tool that I can use over the next 20 years of my career because it's going to grow with me and so now it's possible for us to come to all of you and share with you what we're making thank you for paying attention it means a lot to us if typing matters to you please back our Kickstarter time is the most valuable thing we have and we should spend it consciously in business tracking how we do that is crucial but ironically it takes too much time and effort that's why we have created side we were struggling with time tracking as many people do it's not natural and easy to achieve it decreases productivity and prevents us from focusing on important things a lot of people like scientists craftsmen creatives engineers and many more have to track their time but when we asked how they are doing it we were surprised how many just estimated at the end of the day week or month which takes more time and is very inaccurate sometimes they even forget to account for hours which results in lots of money because they are not billable there are already many powerful software solutions for time tracking and we don't want to replace them that's what I integrate seamlessly into existing solutions just import the projects assign them to a site of site and start tracking turn to switch between projects and breaks considering that Sai will decorate a lot of tests around the world our goal was not only to create a functional product but a product that looks good and also feels good initially we spend a lot of time finding the right geometry the most obvious solution would have been to use a cube but throughout the user interviews Sai evolved an octagon the beautiful shape with aids identical sides giving space for eight different projects clients Corrections the labeling is totally up to you you can put a sticker or a post-it on it are used to supply the raisable pencil the concavity of each side ensures to the label the center of off by accident we provide a mobile app as well so you can use I on the go in case you forget to switch or finish the task you can stop edited afterwards and now it's up to you because we need your head to go to production and cover the certification costs you can help us by backing this campaign and spreading the word about side together we can improve how time tracking is done and help you to focus more on the things you love imagine all the hours and the costs you can save with a small amount of money please make this campaign and spread the word about side
