- the-kenny 13y agoSeriously? 5 months to create a product (assuming you don't have anything right now, based on the not-existing pictures & the scenes from Iron Man as the product video)? That won't work. Also, what about 'iWatch'? It obviously features the iOS keyboard and homescreen.
- bonbon 13y agoyou are right, but we are working in stealth; only to save the fun for a launch. The problem with showcasing the product too early is someone emails you claiming the troll IP, and it happened.
- therobot24 13y agoSo it's basically a month or so after the prototype phase, what's the progress? I see some nice photoshop mock-ups, but where's the tech demo. I can say from personal experience, the heart-rate monitoring from the wrist is very difficult - bloodflow noise (generally a low SNR), bad data (constant movement or loose connection), and beefy processing (for a wristwatch at least) to get anything better than guessing.
- bonbon 13y agosome good points there; the tech demo is currently using a flexible eink display powered with a beagleboard. Heart rate monitor is difficult and we are licensing the software that optimises down to everybeat for athletic applications.It's an attempt, should make a lot of progress.
