October 10, 2015 at 09:00Smart jewelry: rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants that are capable of something
Smart jewelry is a class of wearable gadgets that look stylish and expensive and at the same time endowed with some useful, but limited functionality. Inside are examples of smart jewelry and jewelry for beauty, sex, health and safety.
For beauty
It all started with a fairly simple “beauty” product in which electronic filling was added. For example, a mood device devised by Philips in conjunction with Stella.
The Skintile gadget is attached to the skin and simply changes colors depending on the mood. At the same time, a power source is integrated in the dress.
The same simple and artless “devices” include a 2 GB flash drive for $ 38, a bracelet that turns into a charging cable , flickering earringswith Amazon or NFC-ring Galaring with one function: unlock your smartphone.
An startup with Indiegogo - Tago Arc is interesting in this regard , where one bracelet functions as a set and always remains different. Using a special application, the pattern can be changed constantly.
Not suitable for any category, but also found the concept of a bracelet-trust. A little cumbersome, but always at hand, while existing in both the female and male versions.
For security.
In a separate category, you can allocate "Safe" gadgets, despite the fact that one of them is Artemis- admitted that they did not find funding. We are talking about pendants or other accessories that can send alerts in case of illegal actions against you. Such a device is also curious - The Guardian Angel - a fake call button. In case you do not want to communicate with the interlocutor, he initiates a call.
For security, there is such a device - a smart hairpin that acts as Artemis should act. First Sign notifies emergency services and sends GPS coordinates to the given numbers.
The most cited brand in this space is Cuff, and here the line of accessories is much wider, except that in emergency situations they can send geolocation, they can also receive notifications from your smartphone. Steel and leather, from rings to key rings - cost an average of $ 30.
Alerts
Of course, a special type is jewelry, which would send notifications of incoming calls or SMS, and there are more than enough offers. The most premium are Rebecca Minkoff bracelets .
In addition to this brand, other manufacturers appear on the market, for example, BlueJewelzInside which is a sensor that receives information about incoming calls, letters or text messages and reminds you of them with the help of vibration. The vibration is turned off by pressing the pendant, and you can return to the conversation at any convenient time. Or Fashionteq , who also presented their collection of smart jewelry with notifications, where in addition to the bracelet, bracelets and rings are presented.
A higher class is the development of Intel and the Opening Ceremony - a smart bracelet starting at $ 500 - MICA in snake skin and gold inserts. And also a $ 200 ring with semiprecious or precious stones, which also serves as a “ notifier ” - Ringly .
The Kovert project , a stone, deserves special attention.Altruis , which can be presented in the form of a ring, and in the form of a pendant, and in the form of stylish bracelets. And the function is one: notifications.
Sex
The leader in the market of “sexual” jewelry is probably Crave , and the most sensational project was the Vesper mini-vibro massager , which in normal life hung with a pendant jewelry and was always nearby.
However, there are completely “crazy" options: for example, piercing for the tongue with a vibrator for specific pleasure for the partner. What just do not come up! Company JJK Industries specializes in products for body piercing.
Health
In fact, this is already wearable electronics, however, I share them conditionally on the grounds that these devices were originally created as an accessory, beautiful and elegant, in contrast, for example, from collaborative projects Fitbit or Misfit with fashion designers.
One of the simplest “summer” devices can be called the June ultraviolet sensor June for $ 129, which thundered in all fashion magazines from Elle to Cosmo. Available in three versions, and based on data about your skin type, it can send notifications when to stop being in the sun.
Or earrings that have not received popular support, but are still ready to continue to fight for their existence - Ear-o-Smart - capable of controlling heart rate, physical activity and calorie consumption.
Brooch trackerLumo Lift with an additional set of multi-colored clips is quite entitled to participate in our selection. Neat magnets that can be selected by color can simply and elegantly complement the image. And of the additional functions - posture correction: the gadget with a slight vibration suggests that it is time to straighten up.
Two bracelets are interesting - Mira and WellBe. The first is a guest with Kickstarter , the second has been collecting pre-orders on the official site for quite some time.
So, Mira is created for those who want to maintain themselves in the right form, but do not always find the time for it, and the gadget is ready to analyze the situation and give personal recommendations on activities. Wellbe- a personal stress tracker from the cork tree, and depending on the rhythm of life and current meetings throughout the day, it analyzes your heart rate and shows calm or congestion using clear graphs, after which you can start the “training” mode in the application to lower the level stress.
A very curious and “delicate” concept from Nanotechnology Victoria , where they offered a series of jewelry with healing properties. For example, a pendant and a ring, which have microneedles, so that without pain in time to enter insulin through the skin. Such a device for people with diabetes is also important from an ethical point of view, since not everyone is willing to share their problems with pleasure.
This year, the development of a bracelet from Embr labs should start, which cools or warms the wrist in seconds and monitors the uniform propagation of certain waves throughout the body.
Wearable gadgets
And in the final I would like to recall in a few words that many manufacturers of sports wearable electronics and fitness trackers at different times solved the problem of improving the design of their devices so that they could become an integral part of the individual style.
For the first time, probably, Fitbit and Tori Burch implemented this approach , proposing pendants or designer bracelets together with Flex sensors. Special solutions for Misfit activity trackers are known , and their cooperation with Swarovski , as well as at the start of sales of Xiaomi mi Bandit was reported that over time it would be possible to clothe them in leather straps.
That’s all with us. Thanks for attention!
