High tech sleep sensor hits $1 million mark on Kickstarter
A sleep monitoring device has passed the $1.3 million mark on Kickstarter in its first week, with the final forecast expected to be around $4 million when the project ends in 22 days time.
The sleek-looking device called Sense, which was launched by James Proud last week, only had an original Kickstarter goal of raising $100,000 within 30 days, but great word of mouth from many tech sites has already produced a backing of over ten times that figure.
Sense is an orb-shaped device that wouldn’t look out of place in an art display. It can track your sleep behaviour and your sleeping environment with the aim of helping you wake at the perfect point in your sleep cycle via what they call the “Smart Alarm." It is powered by a micro-USB cable via a USB wall adapter.
