Lumo lift review 2016 Bluetooth#

Right now, the unit is configured to run with a mobile phone app via Bluetooth Smart.

Once I got the shorts on, they walked me through how the unit will work. Thankfully, the large team of Lumo folks that came out weren’t afraid of standing in the rain for long periods of time (shivering). Monday and Tuesday were not sun or warmth friendly days in Vegas this week. What was less sweet was that it was basically crapping all over us. It’s just a few blocks from the strip, and is sweet for this type of product testing where you’re iterating over and over again, usually through specific demos. Running Around the Track:Īs is often the case for events held in Las Vegas (such as CES this week), I drag my unsuspecting victims to the University of Nevada-Las Vegas track. Re-charging is simply done via micro-USB cable, so quick and straightforward. Lastly, the pod is slated to get about a month of battery life before you need to re-charge it. And of course, the shorts are also machine washable as well. I suppose it’d be taking my usual waterproofing chamber tests to a new venue, the clothes washer. So if you’re like me and have killed more than your fair share of devices by washing machine – then you should be safe here. Now before you worry, the pod is/will be fully washing machine safe. The button’s purpose in life can be customized, but right now it’s mainly to have the shorts announce your current metrics. So yes, you can literally tell your crush to press a button near your crotch to see if you get turned on: Note that the band of the shorts don’t have any sensors itself wired into them, but rather connect through conductive material to a small press-able button at the front of your shorts.

There’s no wires to connect, as the pod transfers all data using those little silver patches that act as connection point inside the band of the shorts (which has a similar conductive material): It does not include a milkshake or kitchen sink. The pod contains a 9-axis IMU, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and a vibration motor, as well as Bluetooth Smart connectivity. In the back of the shorts is a small pocket that pocket enables you to slide this tiny pod into them. They also have capris available for women (or, I suppose a man that’s very comfortable with his body image). The shorts come in a variety of sizes, so you’d be able to order your specific size. The Lumo Run system has essentially two pieces: The running shorts, and a small pod that is slid into the shorts. While most gadgets I review are hard objects, this one is definitely more soft and flexible. Oh, and then the shorts yell at me to fix it in real-time.īut, let’s back up a second first and start with the goods. The most unique of the week thus far would go to Lumo Body Technologies, who makes running shorts that can tell me when I’m not running optimally by addressing body position and other running metrics. As the week goes on here at CES, I continue to add to my collection of first-time experiences that I’ve had recently.
