Wearables
Smart bands, straps and cases. In development until sensor claims can be stated honestly.
Smart bands, straps and cases. The line is held back on purpose: nothing is released until sensor accuracy and battery life can be stated honestly. A wearable that overstates what it measures does more damage to the mark than a delayed launch does.

How it is run
This line stays in development until every sensor claim can be stated without qualification. A step count that is approximately right is not a specification.
- Brief — Sensor set and the claims we are willing to make are being fixed first.
- Validation — No figure goes on a box until it survives independent checking.
- Status — Held in development deliberately. The claims are the blocker, not the hardware.

Concept · runs with HOB AI
Read on the wrist, kept on the wrist.
Every line is drawn around the same assistant. It is asked for out loud, it resolves what it can on the device in front of you, and it answers with the thing rather than a conversation about the thing.

- Only the summary leaves
- Ask — Ask on the wrist, without reaching for a phone to do it.
- Understand — Signals are interpreted on the band. What the band can and cannot claim is the reason this line is still held back.
- Act — Only the summary leaves. The traces behind it stay on the device unless you export them.
A concept drawing, not a shipping specification. The assistant is HOB AI and the device it was written for is HB·001.
