The International Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES, has recently presented multiple new and innovative technology and equipment. Every year new technology is showcased in the convention as a preview to future advancements. It is the first time the technology is release for the public to view, test and sample. An example of the latest gear would be “The June Wristband”.
The June wristband is a fashionable piece of jewelry that also serves a wider purpose. At first glance, it seems to be a standard and ordinary bracelet that would be found garnished on most women’s arms. This bracelet is also scientific and logical. The June wristband measures the percentage of sun exposure and alerts the wearer of the dangerous UV rays. At certain temperatures it also notifies the person “to apply sunscreen and when it’s time to get out of the sun,” The Netatmo company, which specializes in further advancement of weather technology, invented this bracelet. The company seems to be “getting even more personal about the weather” by accessing your personal information. An app works along with the bracelet; within the app, all personal information about your skin type must be supplied. This app will accurately notify the bracelet and perfect its performance. The June wristband will be launched in the spring, available for $100.00 along with multi-colored optional choices.
