Embrace+: can inform the phone message LED Bracelet

For women, due to the inconvenience of wearing items often need to carry the phone in his pocket. This will often have to check out whether there is a call or text message. For male students, even if the mobile phone installed in his pocket, sometimes because the environment is too noisy and may not be able to pay attention to mobile phone ringing or vibration.

Now a LED Bracelet called Embrace+ to help you solve the problem, it can not only remind you the first time on the mobile phone, but also a beautiful fashion jewelry.

In fact, the principle is very simple: this bracelet built-in multi LED color lamp group, according to your mobile phone on different events (such as call, SMS, email and social media push), the bracelet will flash different colors to remind you. Specific events corresponding to the color can be set free by the application of Embrace+.

As shown in the following figure:

In this example, the bracelet flashing green indicates that there is an incoming call, blue indicates that the battery is too low, the red indicates that there is a text message, while pink indicates that your Facebook application has a push.

Of course, you can according to their corresponding to each mobile phone dynamic color preference and the habit of recognition for color, so to talk with others when running, it can be the first time to know and judge what is dynamic on mobile phone.

Embrace+ has just completed a financing plan on Kickstarter in June 9th, with more than $260 thousand in funding, well above the $80 thousand target set. According to the official website of the introduction, this wearable devices will be shipped in September of this year, priced at $69 (limited edition of $99).

Its application currently has two versions of Android and iPhone, but is still in the development phase of the test has not yet on-line. Is expected to be released together with the official shipment.

The design of Embrace+ is very useful in our daily life, because we can't take the mobile phone with us anytime and anywhere. Especially at home, often put the phone in the living room and then go to the kitchen to cook. This may miss some calls or messages. And Embrace+ can remind you of what events on the phone.

Worry too far away from the phone will fail? That's all right. This bracelet is connected via Bluetooth, the effective range is about 30 meters. However, the introduction of the development team on the Kickstarter said that due to the actual use of different scenarios, affected by geography and other factors, the distance is generally about 10 to 15 meters.

But I think it's 10 meters away.

Support for social media applications, Embrace+ currently supports Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Skype and other mainstream applications. However, due to the compatibility of Bluetooth standards, Whatsapp and Viber two applications are not supported. As the most active mobile terminal instant messaging applications, can not support Whatsapp is not a small regret.

In addition, Embrace+ uses a waterproof design, so you do not have to worry about the use of swimming. At the same time, this bracelet is made of 100% pure silicone resin, without any harmful chemicals.

Due to the financing on the Kickstarter reached $260 thousand, so this has achieved the development team's extended goal (Stretchgoals), in the future will also add more new features for Embrace+. Including: SDK, wireless charging, and a variety of wristbands color.

Embrace+ this unique invention is really practical, the appearance is also very fashionable. However, the use of the scene is still some limitations: in the kitchen, swimming, talking, in the subway, running, etc..

More importantly, not everyone likes to wear a bracelet. Judging from the current Embrace+ sample, its appearance is still to be improved: lightweight and slim.

It is worth mentioning that, on the Kickstarter there is another feature similar to the device Blink (1). It is not worn on the human body, but through the USB connected to the computer, can use different colors to tell people what happened on the computer.
