PAST PROJECTS
COLORFLY
FLYBANDS
We offer for license, our Colorfly Glow-Motion technology as a bold new choice in body-activated wearable lighting.
It transforms boring products into thrilling visual displays, designed to connect with others through the force of gravity.
Fashion meets high-end technology with Colorfly at the heart of the captivating effect of FlyBands. You’re in charge of your lighting expression because your movement changes your color. Perfect for yoga, dance, concerts, parties, and much more.
When someone dances, FlyBands change color to align with their body position. If people dance in unison with others, the wristband colors also change, creating a shared, ecstatic experience. Connected to each other and to the earth’s core, FlyBands are captivating, well-engineered, rugged, and waterproof (or Playa-proof).
But... use your own imagination on how ColorFLY technology can add to your product.

RYNO MOTORS
RYNO BIKE
RYNO is a lightweight, highly maneuverable, multi-purpose, all electric bike. It has a small footprint, proprietary real-time balancing technology,
is customizable, and has a unique ONE-WHEEL design. RYNO’s product is suitable for individuals, businesses, and governmental entities. The cycle’s small footprint enables elevator access to offices, apartments and condos as it transports its rider through, around and in-between the obstacles that crowd dense urban cities.
RYNO’s hallmark is its astounding ease of use. The RYNO bike is designed to resemble a conventional motorcycle in its controls, its riding position, and its feel. What’s different is that it is only half a motorcycle, and by using the rider’s feet, can pivot 360 degrees on a vertical axis. This allows a rider to enter an elevator, spin around, press the floor button, and then effortlessly back up like any other person on foot.

RUBRIC CONCEPT
What if urban traffic planning was based on saving time? 30% of all traffic congestion is people circling to find parking. People would ride the rain more if they could easily rent a car right at their train stop.
All these problems are solved by the RUBRIC Car, a simple urban car in a high-speed vending machine.
Simply hail it from your phone before you arrive, and it comes to pick YOU up.

HYDROFOIL
From the US jet-ski market peak of 90,000 units sold in 2000 to just 38,000 in 2013, the personal watercraft market has matured.
From its early days starting with the Wave-Runner, into the sit-down single-person Jet-Ski and now on to the behemoth and noisy $25,000 three-person Jet-Ski luxury craft.
Because of their success, these craft are now banned in most inland lakes and highly restricted around other water-craft with laws requiring no wake and limited noise.
Enter the RYNO Water Bike; No wake, dead quiet, no smell, fun and easy to learn to ride.

Tip-Tap Technology
Tip and Tap technology is a patent pending two-part gesture applied to a piece of hardware with a motion sensor inside and on at least one face, a set of nine LED lights. It allows a user to select up to 12 menus or logic choices and then with a quick tap, select that choice.
The first part of the gesture is to illuminate a series of lights by tipping the hardware into a predefined position. Once the hardware is in position, verified by a set of lights which represents a desired choice, a tap is applied to the hardware to create a spike in acceleration to trigger the choice to be made.
To let the hardware know a choice would like to be made, and to assure false triggers are avoided, the user must hold the hardware level to the floor and still for at least half a second. This will illuminate a “ready” light at the center of the nine LED grid. Once this light is enabled, the user will tip the hardware rotationally around one of two axes of accelerometer rotation and in one of two rotational directions around that axis, clockwise or counterclockwise. This will light an edge light.
This is an important distinction as the second light indicates one of four choices, and can only be lit as a result of twisting around one of said axes. Once the second light is lit, and with both lights illuminated, a tap must be made within a one second window (or set time) or the position will be released to start over.
To reach the corner lights, the user must walk through the above steps to get an edge LED lit and then twist the hardware around a second axis 90 degrees to light a corner light (the center light will drop out). Know, that how a corner is entered (from one face or the other) two different choices can be made.
