MOTA Shows Off SmartRing Connected Jewelry

September 8, 2014

Silicon Valley design firm MOTA showed their answer to less intrusive notifications at IFA 2014, the MOTA SmartRing. The vibrating ring is worn with the small OLED screen facing the palm. The idea is that when the ring vibrates, the wearer looks at the palm of their hand to see scrolling information regarding the notification. To allow for the jewelry to be waterproof, the company plans to use inductive charging to refill its 36 hour battery. The device is currently available for preorder on Indiegogo for $75 with an estimated ship date of April 2015. Everything sounds great on paper, but is the company over promising.

September 2, 2014

Another designer is throwing their hat into the ring of wearable technology. So far we have seen Diane Von Furstenberg Google Glass, Tory Burch Fitbits, and Ralph Lauren Polo Tech shirts, now Rebecca Minkoff is launching two wearable bracelets. The bracelets will debut at the designer’s New York Fashion Week show on September 5th. Following the trend established by other fashion designers, the technology is being designed by an outside company, in this case Case-Mate. Specifically designed not to look tech-y, the bracelets give up functionality for the sake of design.
