Google AdWords Strategies for Promoting a Mobile App Selling mobile apps has quietly become a ‘thing’ on a global scale. From your modest but Big Brother-esque Facebook interface to that little doo-dad that calculates how much to tip at a…
Cybersecurity attacks are no joke, and the cost of cyber threats isn’t a joke either. The latest Cybersecurity Ventures Report projects a sharp increase in the destruction of data, stolen money, fraud, embezzlement, the theft of intellectual property, and other…
Apps are becoming increasingly popular and most large businesses have now delved into the world of having appy customers. From doing your banking, to playing a game on your train journey home from work, apps are becoming an everyday part…
When it comes to gaming, there are many trends that come and go, as there are so many types of games available. With 2016 almost coming to a close, we take a look back on the past year, and see…
New VR gaming devices are being introduced all the time. At present, most of them are fairly expensive. This is a situation that is certain to change in the near future, however. The people who are afraid that they are…
We have sensors. We have batteries and brushless electric motors. We have Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. We have the tiniest of microprocessors… Wouldn’t it make sense to cram a bunch of these into a baby stroller, and give it the kinds of features we’ve come to expect in all our products in 2016? The Smartbe Stroller is as high-tech of a stroller as we’ve ever seen. It comes with three driving modes, from full manual, to power-assist (where you’re still pushing, but with minimal effort), to completely self-driving. In this last mode, the stroller always stays ahead of the parent, within arm’s reach, whether you’re walking or even jogging. Additional features are almost too numerous to name: built-in rocker, wireless Bluetooth speakers to play your music to your baby, electric bottle warmer, “climate/temperature-controlled bassinet keeps your baby comfortable no matter the weather, and air filters can protect against pollution and allergens.”
If this project ever manages to see light of day (and that’s a big “if”, considering the ambitiousness of the project, and the fact that it’s far from fully-funded on IndieGogo, and that all they have at the moment is a bunch of CG renders…), the Smartbe Intelligent Stroller promises to be Tesla of strollers. Completely connected, fully-automated, and as high-tech as any early enthusiast would want their infant carrier to be. Prices start at $900 for the basic non self-propelled model, and go all the way up to $3,199, with shipping in April 2017 (further re-inforcing the impression that we’re looking at vapourware).
