Thync launches wearable mood-changing device

Thync is a company not known that well in India, in fact if you ask anyone if they have heard of this company, the most popular answer you would get is a 'No'. But the truth is, they have been working on some really cool things and finally this week they have launched their product which is also called Thync.

sNow this device is actually a wearable that you wear on your head and it is a mood changing device. Yes, you've read that right, it is a wearable that the company claims can change you mood using triangular neuro signaling and it can make anyone feel calm or relaxed or happy in a matter of minutes and the effect will last for 3-4 hours.

And, of course, that doesn't come cheap. The wearable is currently priced at $299 (around Rs. 19,000), but it is not available in India at the moment and I don't see that changing anytime soon. So till then, all we have to do is to wait for the actual reviews to come in, to see if the tall claims that the company is making is true or just a marketing trick. Till then we have to use the cheaper alternative, i.e. coffee.

Intel's Edison

This year CES turned out to be a bit different from the previous years. This year we saw the flood of wearables being introduced by nearly half a dozen companies. And when everyone is doing it, how can Intel stay away from it? So like everyone else, Intel brought their big guns with them to the CES 2015 and sure enough they did not disappoint. After giving us quite an insight on their latest venture i.e. wearables, Intel introduced to the world, the Edison.
Edison is a miniature computer chip that is build using the 22nm technology. It is a dual core PC with build in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities and the most interesting part of it is that this PC is the size of a micro SD card!
Yes that’s right, it is one of the smallest chips that you might have seen that can run like a traditional PC and for now it runs on Linux. Currently it is only offered to developers and hopefully it will be seen getting mass produced some time later in 2015.
Intel also gave a very interesting demo of how the chip can be used in our regular lives by showing a short clip where the chip is embedded in a child's toy and the milk warmer, and when the child starts crying, the chip detects it and sends signals to the parent’s phones and even the milk warmer starts automatically so that the child can have warm milk if hungry. Now that is really cool. Not the 2015 we imagined in the movie Back to the Future with flying hover boards but we are getting close to its.
Now what’s left for us to see is if developers find it interesting enough and worth their time to create some amazing things using the chip and who knows, maybe we might start seeing flying hover boards too by 2016.
