Now we’ve seen wearable tech efforts like Ringly where it looks like a normal ring on the surface, but in reality is a piece of technology that allows notifications from your phone to be sent to it, allowing the user to know they have notifications without reaching for their phone. If you loved that idea, the folks at Beacon & Lively have launched a Kickstarter project for a smart bracelet.
Just like Ringly, the B&L Cuff from Beacon & Lively will be subtle in its design, and unless you knew what you were looking at, chances are most people would probably just assume it’s another piece of jewelry. The bracelet will come with an embedded LED that will glow when you receive a notification, and to dismiss it, all you’d have to do is flick your wrist and you’re done!
While perhaps not as functional as smartwatches, the B&L Cuff looks great and if you’re just after a device for notifications that does not look too geeky, then perhaps this is a device worth checking out. The project has managed to raise $17,000 at this time of writing, with the end goal of $120,000.
