  • PDF

Mighty Cast proposes a modular means to control a wide range of devices from the wrist-- the Nex Band, a wristband featuring 5 modules users can customise via companion app and If This Then That (IFTTT) commands.

Nex BandDubbed by the company as "Mods," the Nex Band modules have a colour display, touch sensitivity, a unique digital ID and a programmable function. Users can customise each Mod through the Nex app using IFTTT-style recipes, with functions ranging from assigning a button to a smartphone function, activating a smart home device or even controlling mobile device games.

Controls range from single to triple taps, allowing for control possibilities limited only to the user's memory. As for actual compatible devices, the band connects to the IFTTT platform for the control of a variety connected devices.

On the hardware side, the Nex Band is similar to the Nike Fuelband, with chunky soft-touch rubber construction complete with IPX6 water resistance. Meanwhile the Mods are removable, allowing users to swap custom buttons with each other.

The Nex Band is currently available on a preorder basis on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform, with shipments set to start from Q3 2016.
