we all want to be that person the one who wakes up early dive straight into a morning meditation is super productive at work drinks those eight glasses of water and always hits the gym but let's be real living that life means building better habits 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 moti a smart companion for building better habits we created moti 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 habit Modi is there to help you track and celebrate your small wins giving you that immediate gratification the better you get the more excited for these guys 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 still 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 ooh 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 moti works by seamlessly integrating these three elements into your busy lifestyle moti 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 bit 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 you one habit at a time show me all the places I've never known raise all trees here at bloody technological innovations we are currently developing a wearable smartphone in the form of a glove our main aim is to push the boundaries of wearable telecommunications and move into a new area of a fully wearable world people who are into sports or any other physical activities often struggle to carry and use their smartphone in its fullest usable capacity glove these aimed at people who engage in sports and other demanding activities whatever the situation glove D is right for you both founders are sparring athletes and faced a major problem while exercising the difficulty to use and carry their smartphones smartwatches and fitness trackers did not work efficiently for them the reason these devices is prepared with an existing smartphone while operating them multiple issues can arise no feasible way to initiate a call or send a text message take videos or photos or even be able to use popular applications on a small SmartWatch display and that's how glove D was born a wearable smartphone in the form of a glove can do so much more than just a regular one we strongly believe that glove D will exponentially increase the quality of our lives not only in sports but also in other activities of our daily routine glove Z is not just a product it's a platform aiming to close the gap in emerging technologies in Internet of Things if you want your children to be intelligent read them fairy tales if you want them to be more intelligent read them more fairy tales Albert Einstein said this and it is deeply impacted the way I parent it has also inspired me to nurture the imagination of my own child through reading that's me Natalie founder of moonlight and mom - a fun sweet imaginative little four-year-old girl Chloe my inspiration behind moonlight as you can see bedtime stories have become a lot more exciting in our house something we both really look forward to because of moonlight a children's projection story reader that easily attaches to your mobile phone and instantly adds magic to storytime stories have always been a staple in our bedtime routine as I'm sure they are for many of you they give us a chance to bond unwind and snuggle with our kids after a long day it was sometimes difficult to keep Chloe engaged in reading books so one night I decided to shake things up a bit and use the flashlight from my phone to create our own story out of shadow puppets Chloe loved this she was so engaged and I loved seeing her use her imagination to create stories with me eventually she started to prefer the shadow puppets over her actual books and that's when it dawned on me what if I could turn her bedtime stories into images that could be projected onto the ceiling just like the shadow puppets and that's when moonlight was born it uses the flash from your mobile phone to project images from a small reel onto your ceiling or wall all of the words of the story appear on your phone screen making it easy to read while projecting the images I also added in some neat sound effects to make it a full audio-visual experience and the coolest thing is that I was able to incorporate page detection software so as you turn the real the story turns the page on the screen for a completely seamless reading experience moonlight has made our bedtime routine simply magical it has revived the love and excitement of reading and most importantly has helped nurture and fuel Chloe's imagination while creating an incredible bonding experience that we both look forward to every single night
