Embrace+ the wrist notifier

The EMBRACE+ is a smart piece of wearable technology that alerts you to changes in your environment. Through a combination of visual and tactile cues, the EMBRACE+ gives you the information you want to know - while your Smartphone stays in your pocket or purse. It brings a smart and subtle change to our daily lifestyle as it keeps us connected to our phone no matter what we are doing, when we are doing it, and where we are at. Through a simple set-up of some basic parameters on the Smartphone you already have, the EMBRACE+ will show you what you want, and when you want to know it. What it shows, how it displays your information, and how frequently you see the information is completely up to you.

It is primarily made from silicone that allows for a subtle diffusion of light as that is emitted from the bracelet's light source. It pairs with your phone via Bluetooth, and has the ability to operate for 10 or so days, on a full charge. Available in two sizes (one for men, the other for women), it is planned to be open source, to allow for extensive integration to existing or future applications. The funding campaign on Kickstarter was ended on the 9th of June, but check on their page for latest news and availability.
