run scribe is a wearable designed around a 9 axis sensor to allow a runner to study their stride mechanics running is one of those sports with an incredibly high angie lee in any given year up to sixty percent of runners are going to have an injury is going to cause them to stop running for some period of time it's unclear in the research what are the primary causes of those injuries it's with run scribe we gathered thousands of data points for every stride that can help you run with newer injuries such as criminal velocity impact geez breaking geez pronation excursion metrics that you've never seen before in a product like this we believe by giving runners coaches trainers insight into the mechanics of how they run people can make better training decisions like shoe selection you're able to study the differences between two pairs of shoes is one have higher impact geez does one have a different pronation excursion proscribes really easy to use is so small that you'll forget that it's on your shoe just put it in scrabble and I go and run I don't think about until I get back run scribe automatically uploads your data at the end of a run we've spent a lot of time developing visualization tools that make all of this data very accessible so that's my average I'm less than my average on this particular run my maximum pronation velocity actually does change I can spend hours digging through some of the deeper information and for me with my work injury history the first thing I noticed was how high my impact geez are and I am I generation velocity is relative to other runners that we had tested at that point by having this depth of information that we can share with the research community we can finally start to shed some light on lots of lingering questions in the running community we're taking run scribe to Kickstarter because we want to get feedback on our data visualization techniques what works what doesn't work also we want to create a community of runners that are interested in contributing to this crowd source database of data that's just not been gathered before Bacchus on Kickstarter and together we can create an amazing community in an amazing data bank our biggest hope for a run scribe is to be able to help you run with fewer injuries run smarter run fast or run longer just run we are from an independent tech collective and we're tired of the corporate giants laziness regular earphones have wires that tangle and limit your movement and the few wireless ones out there are two big run out of batteries on top of that a useless while you charge them so we took matters in our own hands and developed pucks the world's smallest wireless earphones that you can charge through your phone look at those puppies this self-guiding magnetic connector is going to change the game if the battery is out just connect it to your phone and keep on listening we designed it not as a square nor a circle we call it the squirrel for the best electrical conductivity our connecting elements are made of 18-karat gold our pugs earphones are not only small they're also packed with badass sound and come in two different models depending on what kind of fit you prefer they are available in four colors to suit everyone and of course you can talk in the phone with a full charge takes 40 minutes which gives you four and a half hours of music and it only uses three percent of a smartphone's battery capacity if the batteries out just plug it in and keep on listening the development phase is done and we are ready to go now we need your help to go into production you now have two choices you push the back button and the story ends you'll wake up tomorrow with your regular earphones and this project will cease to exist or you push the green pledge button and we start our journey and explore how deep this rabbit hole goes the choice is yours we put a lot of energy into our days what if we could get some of that energy back ampe is a wearable device it captures the energy from your motion throughout the day and turns it into power for your phone your movement is your power and that's about it that's that's all there is to it wait cut that's it yeah you you move and your plug this is supposed to be a three minute video you're killing me tages Mike and I met during our engineering PhDs at Northwestern we all had the same problem our phones would die before the end of the day so many people have this problem over the past year and a half we've refined the technology inside NP we have optimized the power generation components to the point where you can still produce significant power while maintaining a small form factor you don't need to be an athlete any motion will charge it we knew we were onto something when MP kept winning crowd favorite prizes of business competitions everyone kept asking if they could get one people love the idea of taking control over their charging habits it frees them from the wall and motivates them to get moving anthe is designed to just fit into your life its shape matches the curves of your body and it's easy to slip into your pocket or pop into your purse if you live in a city you probably walk enough to extend your phone's battery life by three hours if you also go on a run or maybe go cycling you can extend it by six hours the more you move the more power you get or you can use ampe to charge your wearable devices or any other device the charges via USB but you don't need to use the power right away you can store it for however long you want and use it when your device is needed most now we know that everyone's different and some people move in some pretty creative ways so we've designed an accessory kit that lets you move just about any way you want we can't wait to hear how you use aunt bee if you want to know how much power you're getting out you can check the companion smarts on it it lets you track the energy you've generated along with the calories you burn with ampe you're producing green energy we've got fully functional prototypes being tested by our pilot customers and they love them we're continuously collecting feedback and make improvements but now we need your support for the final step to move vampy towards full-scale manufacturing we're so excited about what's to come one day our technology can be integrated directly into smartwatches fitness trackers and other crazy wearables that haven't been invented yet so you never have to wonder with but it all starts now so join us and help us bring auntie to the world that better yeah can I get one constantly checking your phone because you're worried about missing a call text or email missed calls because your phone was in your purse and you didn't hear it ring or

have settled on a design with asymmetrical top which allows you to intuitively control the device and of course it also provides recollect event last of all RK is basically waterproof and it's available with a multiple choice or straps we have just completed our first working prototype and now we are ready for mass production we have been working with one of the best wearable device contract manufacturer to deliver our first are key band to your wrist that's why we need your help Kickstarter we are very excited to deliver this technology to you with our key take a better step live a better life and that's why every movement matters you you
