- Did weartech help the Golden State Warriors win a title? That is what Andre Iguodala stated at TechCrunch Disrupt last week. He talked about how collecting data can build a great product. He even said “Too much information could be bad, but just the right amount could help us go a long way.”
- Mobility company “Action” was on ABC’s Shark Tank last Friday showing off their electronic skates. The company’s product allows you to go up to 10 miles on a charge, which is perfect for zipping around a campus or a few blocks to work. While the company did not get funded by the investors, they did get some great praise by the Sharks.

- If you’re “All about that Bass, ’bout that Bass”, then the BassAware Drop is for you. It’s a new audio device that uses vibration to create a body-bass experience. The device wears like a vest and connects to your device to put a bump into your body. The device has a 15 watt RMS tactile transducer and Bass vibration amplifier. It’s a pass-through device, so you plug your headphones into the vest to listen to the music. It also has a 2600 mAh 12V li-ion battery pack for 12-20 hours of vibration.
- We got a full review of the Watch OS2, which became available last week. New features include new watchfaces, 3rd party “Complications” which is a widget system that an app can use for pop ups, more functionality to the crown and more functionality for the apps.
- Google is working on a new weartech called “Project Aura” using experts from Amazon’s Lab126. The project started in June and might be focusing on a Google Glass successor. Aura seems to be a Google company, instead of moving to Alphabet. CEO Tony Fadell will oversee this project.
