Luxio labs as a start-up we're making jewelry wearables refusing an art fashion and technology look see as infinite possibilities for your style it really allows you to take control over your look and over your use of functions so this is probably going to be one of the first commercially available flexible displays on the market and it's always on it's a very thin very elegant display that just flexes around your wrist this is artwork this is now jewel grace like this is now very very different it's technology that is empowering the fashion versus the design that is elevating the technology it's a complete shift in paradigm I mean you're wearing an accessory why shouldn't it look good many of the smartwatches are pretty similar they're fairly small displays normally off to save power I said you know this this isn't enough the filtering is essentially limitless you decide what the selection criteria are anything in your notification center on your phone can be custom driven to your bracelet with a glance of your wrist you can basically see what appointments are coming up or you can also look at the way in which your information is structured the convenience is really amazing you can say I want messages from my spouse I want my sister's Facebook and anything with the keyword pizza you can choose to only have tweets from this person or text messages from that person or emails from this other person appear you can have a moving map so if you're walking down the street you can see where you are and where your destination is time different watch faces QR codes for paying for coffee or boarding your flight and for example activity monitoring showing how much you've walked and how many calories you've used everyone who sees the bracelet loves the slideshow you can change the image upload a picture write text you can take a picture of the outfit that you're wearing so you're matching that or if you're walking to work take a picture of this reach graffiti and there's something about the quality of the screen the e-ink display it just has a hasn't appeal to it that's kind of hard to put your finger on if you look at where fashion and tech are going the tech is getting good enough and small enough where it can basically be behind the scenes and make it fashion or design first your creative vision the aesthetic vision is taking priority you take control of your look with look see we've got the engineering we've got the designs and now we need your help to make look see a reality please help us Thanks hi my name is Garrett I'm here to show you something really cool these are RGB LED shades they're just a really fun piece of wearable technology the pixel matrix on the front is very colorful and bright from the outside but you can easily see through it you can wear these at concerts parties trade shows maker fairs maybe you in the grocery store if they're eg it's good enough doesn't really matter where you are but these are the best conversation starter ever it's impossible to ignore people have to know what's going on they will come up and talk to you but they're more than just a blinky fashion accessory or the ultimate icebreaker they're designed to be easily reprogrammable unhackable if you're new to embedded development this is a fun place to start and if you're an expert can't wait to see what you'll do your design needs to be Arduino compatible so all you'll need to develop code is any computer with a USB port and a free download of the hard camino ide on the front we have 68 individually controllable pixels they can display a wide range of colors and animations and are really bright so bright that we usually set them five times dimmer than maximum just to keep from blinding anybody nearby and save some power on the side we have an Arduino compatible controller programs that control pixels are saved on the big chip in the center and the buttons below it control program settings you can use your computer with the open-source arduino ide to write code and upload it to the USB port for hackers we have some places to solder wires to external sensors and signals the frame itself is made entirely of circuit boards including the hinges that allow it to fold everything is made from the same material it's produced in just one manufacturing step the parts fit together like a 3d puzzle and then they're securely locked together with screws since these are so bright you're going to need a good power source we like using these USB battery packs they're really easy to recharge and they'll last for two or three hours simply plug in the USB cable and slip it into a pocket at this point we've taken the prototypes to a lot of events and we got a huge positive response from everybody who saw them in person so we definitely want to keep improving the design we want to get these out into the hands of hobbyist programmers artists and see what they can do with it we're confident we can do it we've been manufacturing LED products as a small business since 2008 so we do all the design and prototyping here we control every aspect of the final product we've also developed good relationships with our PCB manufacturers so over the years of solving and preventing delays and other problems we've gained a lot of confidence there so we can do the work and we've run it on a lot of it but we need your help first we'd love to get your feedback well feature it make this better how would you use this let us know second we think the RGB LED Shaye's deserve to be launched on a much larger scale than we can afford right now so your pledge will make that happen and help us keep working on improvements our rewards include the RGB LED shades in several forms you can get them preassembled ready to use or you can get them as a kit where you get to assemble the hinges yourself and solder a couple of wires we have a hacker edition which does not include the controller so if you know how to control ws2 812 B pixels you can add something else in control them with that we also have a bare-bones edition which doesn't have any electronics on it it's just the PCBs so you can assemble the hinges and you wear them but it won't work unless you get these pixels and start them on yourself we're really excited about this project and hope you'll choose to be a part of it any pledge amount is greatly appreciated even if you can't pledge enough to get RGB LED shades now you can help make sure that they will be available in the future thanks for watching and please read the description for more details for decades cameras have come with straps and handles for security and stability today most of our photos and videos are taken with our phones introducing hand snap the world's first hand mounted smartphone filming system the back of hand position is great for group videos and anything involving hands-free activities transform it into the camcorder position to extend your filming time and stabilize your footage connect with your surroundings to capture footage or listen to music the universal backing plate will stick to anything your bear smartphone your tablet your lifeproof your GoPro or anything else you want close at hand simply remove the plastic and adhere to your device we've been working on hand snap for over a year now field tested in every situation we can think of to make hand snap is sleek and adaptable as possible hand snap fits right or left handed and the super minimal leather palm strap doesn't interfere with your grip we've added padding on the back of the hand for comfort we have developed great relationships with our manufacturers and are now ready to produce so whether you're a parent with your hands full of kids and you need some extra help or a traveler wanting security and quick access to your camera at all times or have an active lifestyle and are looking for a little bit more stability in your shop help support our campaign join us in taking your filming to the next level with hands linkie shoes is an easy-to-use kit that turns your favorite pair of shoes into this we designed blinky shoes to react to your movement the waves of flight spread out from the point where your foot touches the ground and the harder you step the more energetic the pattern gets they use an accelerometer to sense your steps and they know whether you're touching your heel or your toe turning your shoes and delinking shoes is easy you attach the velcro to your shoes and then stick the LED strip onto the velcro plug the strip's into the included rechargeable battery packs hook them onto your shoes and you're ready to go blinky shoes come pre-programmed with a handful of great color patterns for you to use and you can create color patterns of your own by reprogramming the shoes using our open source Arduino project we've been wearing blinky shoes ourselves for a year now and we've had so many people come up to us and ask how they can give their own we got pretty excited about the idea of brightening more people steps we spent the last few months making sure that blinky shoes are super easy to attach to lots of different kinds of shoes and we've made the patterns more responsive and more complex we've rigorously tested the shoes to make sure that there's no blasts and we've got manufacturers all lined up the only thing left is your support to make sure the production is possible we've loved turning our shoes into blinking shoes anything that you need you
