Two young students, Ryan Oliver(15) and Jonathan Kingsley(14) were given a task by Virgin media. The task is our problem description. They need to find a solution for missing TV shows due to sleep. And these two young kids are now working with KipstR wristband.
At first many people wondered why Virgin media asked two ordinary young kids to be partners with them in a task like this. These two kids are young, definitely not ordinary. These two have been working together for long time. They have been creating software, helping big brands with solution for critical problems and unique ideas since they were around nine years old.
So what is KipstR? A simple wristband-like device that will record the TV shows when you fall asleep while watching it. This device, which is now a prototype, will do this by measuring the blood flow and amount of oxygen in blood with the help of pulse. It communicates to Virgin media TiVo box through a wireless sensor.
This device is currently just a prototype. These kids are planning to give it a trial this Christmas. Interested UK customers can register their interest in KipstR band here.
Why just UK customers? Because this band is currently limited only to UK customers of Virgin media. It is expected that upon successful functioning, Virgin media will make it available to worldwide market within an year.
No more worries of missing favorite TV shows. Just wear KipstR and watch them. You don't have to wake whole night, suffer your next morning and you won't miss the programs too.
