54 SMT007 MAGAZINE I FEBRUARY 2019 promoted "Intelligent Sensors for Ageing." MintT's ISA product detects all falls and irreg- ular night-time activity occurring in the sen- sor's field of vision, and measures actimetric data. All of this leads to some measurable un- derstanding of a patient's real-time activity in their living environment. I spoke with Jerome Laurent-Michel, a nurse on the company staff. Jerome helpfully in- formed me that the ISA product is shipping and currently watches over about one million people in hospitals, flats, and other housing. Laurent-Michel confirmed that his team had met with potential investors at Eureka Park, though not with manufacturing opportunities. As a nurse, Laurent-Michel was hesitant to talk technology with me. He was, however, content to discuss the product's applications. And yet, there were no significant inquiries about ramping up production from any manu- facturers. Norm Glasses The Norm Glasses product is an AR smart glasses design that looks and wears like nor- mal sunglasses. Developed by Human Capable Inc. from Weston, Florida, Norm Glasses are described in the product collateral as "Google Glass and Alexa in a stylish form factor." This is not too bold a claim given that Norm Glass- es look very similar to a pair of Wayfarer-style frames—not the bulky, multi-part, bulbous AR glasses form factor to which we're accus- tomed. Norm Glasses were not allowing actual demonstrations, so user experience could not be determined yet. I asked QiLun Sun, managing director of the company, what his CES objectives were, and he said, "Brand awareness, user feedback on use cases that we haven't thought about, and potential manufacturing suppliers." Sun isn't looking for funding at this time. When I asked if any suppliers had approached him, he shook his head no and gave a little shrug. They were certainly drawing a large amount of attention for their product, however. STYL Zacharie Chapuset, co-founder and CTO of STYL, was definitely there to find investors. Paris-based STYL has a skills game platform for pen-spinning (spinning the pen around your thumb or between your fingers) that uses hardware in a game stylus and smartphone app software.
