CES 2012 confirms on the clear trend towards mobile health-tracking devices-- a trend Zomm is eager to follow with the Lifestyle Connect mobile health and safety monitor.
It uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices-- smartphones, health, heart, glucose and fall detection monitors and activity trackers. If a connected device detects trouble (such as a fall), the Lifestyle Connect automatically reports sensor information to the user's choice of family members, friends and/or medical professionals via the cloud.
An integrated speakerphone provides one-button access to the Zomm Personal Concierge service, contacting not only friends and family but also emergency services if required. A free myZOMM app (for iOS and Android devices) handles personal profiles trusted people can access for further details on the user's location and condition.
Zomm also provides a Bluetooth-powered means for customers to keep track of belongings with Tags-- coin-sized Bluetooth 4.0 devices users can attach to objects of value in order to keep track of their location.
The company says the Lifestyle Connect is water resistant (with waterproof polymer buttons for extra protection) and is certified for drops of up to 2m. It is rechargeable via USB or wall adapter, and will be available from Q2 2012 for $199 together with a monthly subscription.
Kogeto shows off the Dot 360-degree panoramic video recording accessory for iOS and Android devices (and the GoPro camera) at CES 2012.
How big are we talking about? How about 2.4m wide, 1.2m tall and weighing nearly 320kg.
No, that's not a typo on the headline-- the Gaems G155 is "the world's first personal gaming environment," a console carry-case complete with display and audio system for the gaming customer on the go.
Details are yet hard to come by, since the "Super OLED" TV at the show lacks an official name or even a model number. Samsung says it is produced from "a single pane of glass" and is 7mm deep (double that of the LG 55" OLED TV).
