The entrepreneurial lifestyle does not care what your profession was before you opened your eyes to its glory. All it cares about is that you have the confidence, drive, and strength to accomplish your wildest dreams. For Andy Ram, retired tennis phenom, that dream is to change the face of racket sports via wearable tech. And his vehicle to accomplish his goal, Pulse Play, fits perfectly into the current wearables trend.
Sony has been experimenting with virtual reality technology for years, long before Oculus founder Palmer Luckey put together his first Rift prototype. Sony used its PlayStation Eye and PlayStation 3 console to test head-tracking technology in the mid-2000s and later built prototype head-mounted displays, known as HMDs. One of the reasons why Sony has been able to commit to an early 2016 release date for its consumer VR product is because of its extensive research and development in the field. But key to the company's VR bid is achieving adoption among its existing customersthose that own PlayStation gaming consoles. Instead of competing with that revenue stream, Sony would rather bring virtual reality technology to customers by creating an experience that marries the two.
Baby Gigl is a smart bottle sleeve that fits over a bottle and pairs to a mobile app for recording critical data about infant feedings. Now, a doctor can take that information and make more informed decisions about how a baby is doing nutritionally. The sensor records the timing, quality and quantity of each feeding session, and even takes an active role in the process by indicating the best angle at which to hold the bottle for optimal flow. Dr. Joseph Cohen, a pediatrician who has been testing the Baby Gigl in his practice said, "I'm very excited about the kinds of data that this kind of device can provide. It's very valuable to me."
