Mighty Cast is looking at the next big thing in wearable social and fitness gaming, the Nex Band. This band employs Bluetooth technology to connect to the cloud providing users with real-time social, fitness, mobile and gaming notifications.
“The Nex Band seamlessly connects Mod charms with social, mobile and gaming applications to make tracking notifications as simple as the blink of a charm,” said Adam Adelman, CEO and co-founder of Mighty Cast. “Imagine being able to tailor the capabilities of your band. While most wearables lock users into one application, the Nex Band creates dynamic, ever-changing experiences. By creating a console on the wrist, the Nex Band is bringing an entirely new social experience to consumers.”
We look forward to hearing more about the Nex Band next year.
Wearable technology is expected to become a $6 billion industry by 2016, a minimum revenue projection that could be even larger. That’s according to the latest findings by market research firm IMS Research. Wearable technology currently centers on healthcare, medical, fitness and wellness, where products such as glucose monitors and heart-rate monitors are used to transmit vital information about the user or patient.
