Leaked: Fitbit's next fitness tracker, the Fitbit Force | Wearable Tech and the Internet of Things (Iot) | Scoop.it

Sigh - more wearables.  ;-)

Robert Unsworth's curator insight, October 3, 2013 8:45 AM

Is this where wearable media is going, in other words, away from mini-smartphones?

Ji-Wei's curator insight, October 3, 2013 9:03 PM

The fitbit tracker is a watch that has many uses for people. Not only can it tell time, but the Fitbit watch can also tell the elevation of where you are. This will be ery helpful to hikers and mountain climbers in the future when they go hiking or mountain climbing. The one question I have is how well they will sell when they're released.

Laura Wiesner's curator insight, November 8, 2013 8:21 PM

This article is talking about the tech specks of the Fitbit Flex.  It is also comparing it to other fitness bands. Since their recent show, these bands might be able to reduce the number of overweight and obese peopel in the us. It might also encourage children to be more active. They seem promising, but the real test will be in the future.

From inside Intel Labs: using sensors, data, and LEDs to make cities better | GigaOM Tech News | Wearable Tech and the Internet of Things (Iot) | Scoop.it

Intel’s blue sky research group Intel Labs is tinkering with public sensors, big data and algorithms to create experimental ways to track environmental conditions in cities. During Intel Lab’s annual show-and-tell in San Francisco last week, Intel showed off some of these futuristic concepts (as well as how to put a projector in a phone).

 

Here’s three ways that Intel Labs is looking to make cities better, from reducing allergies, to crowd-sourcing city programs to using LEDs to reduce traffic accidents.
