EmoPulse digital bracelet ???

This is an interesting one to call on.

For
1. All the technology currently exists.
2. The bulk of the software development can happen without a prototype.
3. The packaging size appears realistic (if ambitious).
4. There appears to be significant real thought in the design.

Against
1. Supply of the flexible display is critical (without explicit backing from a huge name at the moment).
2. Flexible funding - does not inspire confidence at all, 1e6 available!!!??
3. Ambitious price tag.
4. Ridiculous time-scale (Oct 2013...)

My guess is that it's a genuine (but misguided) effort, and probably launched inspite/despite the failure of the previous 'nanoGlass' www.indiegogo.com/projects/nanoglass project. It's also possible that it has been done for the publicity - it does look more like a little like the output of some design student trying to get noticed by {insert corp here}.

That said, the flexible funding and Oct 2013 delivery make it whiff.

UPDATE:

Was just checking on the latest IGG smart watch scams, and noticed the EmoPulse was removed and seems there are virtually no references to it (the IGG campaign) anywhere.

Anyone know what happened?
