Moment Is A Game Changer Device For Your iPhone and Android Smartphones
The biggest problems which users face with Technology nowadays that it can be really distracting and at the wrong time. Say you are driving and you get a call, the dilemma arises whether you should look at the road ahead or pick up the important phone (no, wife is not that important). Smartwatches have addressed this problem to a certain extent but you still have to look away from your task at hand.
Moment means to address this situation. It is a haptic feedback wearable device which communicates information entirely through sense of touch and currently offers GPS navigation, caller identification, notifications, alerts, and time augmentation, all through your sense of touch.
Consider an example of navigation on a busy road with a path defined. Instead of looking down or listening to instructions you will actually feel when you have to take a turn left or right using this wearable device.
One particular and interesting example we can think off is its practical application in Pokemon GO and other AR apps. Instead of fetching out your phone each and every time, Moment will automatically notify you if there is a Pokemon nearby and catch em all! Let's hope the devs also have something similar in mind.Here is the entire schedule of their campaign:
