Pebble wants the support of specialized accessory manufacturing companies to get involved in the creating smart wristbands for Pebble Time. And what better way to support the industry than by investing a large sum of money. The CEO of Pebble has announced that it will contribute one million dollars in the development of accessories for its new smartwatch.
During the Pebble Time presentation it was announced that manufacturers will be able to create all kinds of accessories for the new Pebble, such as smart bracelets that integrate censors. To do this, Pebble will look for the best projects that exist on the Kickstarter platform and will inject money so that they can come true. After all, it has been "crowdfounding" that has allowed two generations of Pebble to come to light to date.
How could we expect Pebble will not financially support all projects that appear on Kickstarter. A specialized group of the company will be in charge of studying the proposals and distributing the money in the fairest, balanced and logical way possible.
There are already some ideas that have attracted Pebble's interest. One of them is a bracelet that would allow al Pebble disconnect from phone and function independently, since a telephone connection could be integrated into the accessory. On the other hand, several companies specialized in fitness have announced straps with sensors that will be able to detect our heart rate.
Pebble it has opened the doors to a new world of possibilities.
Thanks, but no matter how much accessories I have, I still don't like Tamagotchi.
