Dynavisual’s innovative displays can be worn and synced @ CES 2024



Dynavisual synchronized displaysLED technology for wearable displays is a groundbreaking innovation that is revolutionizing visual communication. Flexible, bright, animated LED displays are a revolutionary technology that is transforming the way we think about visual communication. These displays, developed by Dynavisual, offer a flexible and expandable solution for integrating LED screens into various textiles, such as clothing, hats, vests, and coats.

How do Dynavisual displays work?

The CEO of Dynavisual, Maria Fernandez, explains that their IoT platform consists of both software and hardware components. The hardware is a bendable and very flexible LED display that can be easily integrated into different textiles. This means that almost anything can be visualized on these displays, making them incredibly versatile.

One of the key features of Dynavisual’s LED technology is its brightness and power. The LED screens are three times more powerful than a handy screen, making them highly visible even in bright environments. To support this power, the screens require two lithium batteries, similar to those found in mobile phones. These batteries can be charged using USB-C, making the screens rechargeable and sustainable. With four batteries inside, the screens can last for an impressive eight to ten hours, even when operating at maximum power. This extended battery life makes the screens ideal for use at events, sports stadiums, and other venues where continuous display is required.

The display screens can be made in any size, with one focus being on integrating them into clothing. This allows for a unique and eye-catching visual experience, especially in a stadium where the hats of the audience members can be the main focus. The aspect ratio of the screens can also be customized, allowing users to decide the size and shape of their display.

Dynavisual’s LED technology also offers the ability to integrate data and connect to the cloud. This opens up possibilities for gathering information from users and analyzing data for insights. The company envisions partnering with sports garment companies like Nike and Adidas to integrate their LED technology into clothing items. This would not only provide a unique visual experience for spectators but also allow for data collection and analysis.

The potential applications of Dynavisual’s LED technology extend beyond the sports industry. The podcast mentioned the music industry as another field where the technology could be utilized. For example, spectators at a concert could wear LED screens that display visuals synchronized with the music, creating an immersive and dynamic experience.

Syncing screens for a unique experience

One of the most impressive features of these displays is their ability to connect thousands of individual screens together to create a mega screen. Fernandez gives the example of a stadium, where 100,000 people can each have a small section of the screen. When they stand together, the entire message or image is revealed. This creates a truly immersive and engaging visual experience for the audience.

In terms of video quality, Dynavisual displays at 40 frames per second, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience. The CEO mentions that if these displays were used in a stadium with TV cameras broadcasting, the viewers would have a perfect view of the content.

Testing and release plans

Dynavisual has already tested this technology on a smaller scale and is now seeking partners to help scale it up. They are looking for investments, collaborations with manufacturers to create products using their technology, and partnerships with advertising agencies, football clubs, sport clubs, and event agencies.

While the technology is not yet available for individual purchase, it is primarily targeted towards corporations and organizations. The software platform that accompanies the displays is flexible and can easily be adapted to meet different needs. It is cloud-based, allowing users to upload videos and schedule them to play at specific times, similar to a digital sign.

Conclusion

Overall, flexible, bright, animated LED displays are an exciting innovation in visual communication. Dynavisual’s technology offers endless possibilities for showcasing messages, images, and videos in creative and engaging ways. With the ability to connect multiple screens together to create a mega screen, these displays have the potential to transform the visual experience at events, stadiums, and other large-scale venues.

CORE Body Temperature Sensor: Health tech for elite athletes @ CES 2022



CORE Body Temperature SensorDo you like to push your body to the limits? Do you strive for excellence in your sport? If so, then CORE by greenTEG AG is the health tech for you! The CORE Body Temperature Sensor is a wearable device that uses Swiss-made sensor technology to monitor and deliver real-time, accurate core body temperature data. This data can help athletes, coaches, and sports scientists improve their performance by monitoring core body temperature in real-time and adapting their training strategies accordingly.

Who is greenTEG AG?

greenTEG AG has been operating since 2007 as an early-stage start-up company based in Zürich, Switzerland. CORE Body Temperature Sensor is one of the flagship products that they have developed over time through collaboration with elite athletes who push themselves to new levels every day. It has helped these athletes learn how their bodies react during training sessions and races by providing them with valuable insight into their core body temperature. The system can also help athletes and coaches optimize their heat training, heat acclimation, and cooling strategies to improve performance on the court or field. CORE has been used by UCI World Teams, Continental Teams, professional football clubs in Europe, and more.

How does CORE work?

The CORE Body Temperature Monitoring System is a wearable device that consists of two key elements: the CORE Sensor worn on your torso with an adhesive backing and the CORE Monitor which receives data from multiple sensors wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Both components are small in size so you won’t even know they’re there while you train! You will receive immediate feedback on screen as well as short-term and long-term averages.

The CORE Sensor is able to measure core body temperature by detecting the heat flux at a nanoscale. This sensor has been developed over time with input from some of the world’s top athletes who have used it during their training sessions and races. The data that CORE collects can help you understand how your body reacts during different types of physical activity, whether it be intense training or an actual race. You can use this information to adapt your training strategies accordingly and improve your performance!

What makes CORE different?

There are other devices on the market that claim to monitor core body temperature, but what makes CORE so special is its Swiss-made sensor technology. This technology is extremely accurate and reliable as it measures heat flux at a nanoscale, in real-time. It is also the first commercially available system that can measure core body temperature accurately. The sensors are tiny so you won’t even know they’re there while running or playing sports!

The CORE Body Temperature Monitoring System has been tested by elite athletes who have pushed themselves to new levels every day using the system during their training sessions and races with great success! Athletes such as cyclist Tony Martin of Team Katusha Alpecin use it on a daily basis when preparing for his next race. It will help him monitor his core body temperature in real-time and ensure that he is performing at his best!

Summary

If you are an elite athlete looking for a device to help you monitor your core body temperature, CORE is the perfect solution. Get CORE today and start monitoring your core body temperature like a pro at the company’s website!

Reflexion trains athletes’ brains to improve performance @ CES 2021



Reflexion Flex sports cognitive trainingWhen we think of professional athletes, we can immediately imagine the amount of work that goes into training. The long days in the gym to improve their bodies, and then even more time on the field, court, or rink in order to improve their specific sport performance. Nearly every professional athlete or Olympian has a similar story of doing this since childhood. But, there is an aspect of the body that is generally ignored, which Reflexion looks to solve.

The part of the brain that is far too often overlooked is the brain. This is despite the major impact the brain can have on performance. Take, for example, Tom Brady, who just took the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly 2 decades. Sure, he’s the greatest football player of all time, but part of that is because of his reactions. Not only does he move quickly and throw with accuracy, but he can also read the field quickly to make decisions on what to do.

Brady credits his quick response time to regular cognitive training, which is the technology that Reflexion has been developing and deploying as Reflexion Flex. The company’s technology is specifically designed to improve sports performance in competition. The company’s solution uses a touchscreen lightboard and cloud-based software to create interactive training games and activities.

The responses to those activities are logged and analyzed to determine areas that need improvement. These can be decision making, hand-eye coordination, peripheral vision, or reaction time. Activities in the future will then be run to help improve those areas of performance.

Reflexion has been working with athletes directly in private, but is releasing the platform to the public. The Reflexion Flex is available now through Dick’s Sporting Goods and runs $3499.99.

Tech Meets Tennis with Tennibot



tennibotCool new tech is always fun, but when it marries two of your favorite things, it’s love at first sight. That’s exactly what this new robot did for our very own Daniele Mendez. In the last 4-5 years, she has spent countless hours on both the tennis courts as well as working alongside her robotics team, so she absolutely could not resist this product.

Tennibot is a smart robotic tennis ball collector that scoots around the tennis court, picking up all of your practice tennis balls. Not only does it take the grunt work out of picking up the balls by hand so you have more time to practice, but it also looks cool in the process.

Blast Motion Captures Baseball Swing



Motion by BlastHere at CES, there’s been all kinds of sporting sensors and motion trackers from tennis rackets to golf clubs. The Easton Power Sensor with Motion by Blast brings the same kind of technology to baseball bats. Jamie and Daniel take a swing with Donavan Prostrollo, Senior Director of Marketing at Blast.

On show here is the Easton Power Sensor which attaches to the base of a baseball bat. Unlike the sensors in some other sporting goods, it can be switched between bats. The Motion by Blast software then synchronises video of the player with the telemetry from the sensor to show exactly what’s happening when the player takes a swing. The data is sent via Bluetooth to a nearby smartphone or tablet and the software automatically identifies the swings and clips the video to create a series of video highlights, overlaid with metrics such as swing speed, time to contact, swing direction, power, efficiency, etc.

At US$149, the Easton Power Sensor is not an impulse purchase but it is very affordable for a baseball team or serious player. Available now both online and at good sports shops.

iSet Smartwatch Improves your Tennis Game at CES



iSet LogoPeople who are playing a competitive sport need to know the score as the game goes on. Sometimes, in the middle of a match, it can be difficult to keep track of. The iSet smartwatch solves that problem. It keeps track of tennis match scores in real time. Use it to track your own or to check the win/loss ratio of your favorite tennis players.

Scott spoke with Lea Partouche about the iSet smartwatch. The watch connects via Bluetooth to a player’s smartphone. It requires an app that is free to download for either iOS or Android. You can connect one iSet smartwatch to one smartphone.

Two tennis players, who each are using an iSet smartwatch, can keep track of the score of the match in real time just by glancing at their smartwatch. One really nice thing about the iSet is that it can be used even if your tennis partner doesn’t have one. The smartwatch can still record the score into the app.

In addition to recording the score, the app will show your win/loss stats. It keeps track of who you played against and when the match took place. Or, you can put the name of a tennis player that you want to follow into the app, and it will show you that player’s statistics.

In addition to being a tennis tracker, the iSet smartwatch can do other things. It can show you the time. It can be used as a stopwatch or a timer. The iSet smartwatch is expected to be released in March of 2015 for a retail price of $129.00.
