We didn’t know we needed a smart-belt until we saw it but now it is on our list. Sure Emiota’s Belty is able to track your daily activity, vibrate when it is time to move, and monitor changes in your waist line. It also connects to your phone via Bluetooth 4.0. These are all great things to have built into a belt, which you would need to be wearing anyways. But the attention grabbing feature is straight out of Back To The Future 2; the belt will auto adjust when you sit, stand up, or eat too much, maintaining a consistent tightness. Simply put Belty on, tighten it so that it is a comfortable tightness, and double tap the buckle to let it know that is how tight you like it. Belty will then work all day to maintain the same tightness in the belt. The device on display at CES was an early prototype but Emiota is hopeful is can bring a more polished (and miniaturized) version of Belty to market by the end of the year.
