Today, there are many devices that help us track and improve our workouts. However, IT developers do not stand still and offer more and more modern and convenient models that simplify and improve our lives. In this article we will look at the most anticipated gadgets for sports, which were discussed by the PR Director of Intel in Ukraine, Maria Boroday.
Intel Smartwatch
Intel Smartwatch is a watch that was introduced at CES 2014 in Las Vegas. The main feature of the gadget is that they do not need to be connected to a smartphone. The watch is equipped with its own cellular module and can track the location of its owner and other carriers of similar devices. In addition, the watch has a built-in GPS sensor with support for Geofencing technology, which allows you to track your route.
Intel Smartwatches are in the testing stage and will soon be ready for mass production. They will be useful not only for sports, but also in everyday life.
Arcus Motion
Arcus Motion is a ring analyzer for tracking and analyzing activity data throughout the day. This gadget recognizes and records your movements regardless of the activity: from walking to work to participating in sports. The model is waterproof and can be used while swimming or playing golf, kayaking or tennis. Plus, you can use the ring to gain instant control with simple finger gestures, using Arcus software to map your workouts with different marks and program commands.
Adjustable sensitivity levels allow you to detect even the slightest finger movements, making it ideal for motion analysis during sports or outdoor activities. The final product will only be released after final tests.
Intel Smart Earbuds
Intel Smart Earbuds were created for people who love running. They not only record your running condition and load, but also analyze it using a mobile application. Smart headphones monitor your heart condition while jogging and combine the data with your smartphone. Via a regular headphone jack, you can connect them to your smartphone, then use the dedicated app to set your target heart rate for your workouts and automatically select appropriate music tracks.
Intel Smart Earbuds have built-in motion tracking sensors, allowing them to automatically start and stop activity tracking. Plus, they have a built-in microphone and support for voice commands, allowing you to control them without having to use your smartphone.
This way, you can focus on your workout without having to worry about setting up your device. Intel Smart Earbuds are currently in testing and will be available soon.
