Will.i.am launched a ‘smart cuff’ last year (Display Monitor Vol 21 No 42), and has now worked with fashion brand Gucci to develop another. The smartband, like Will.i.am’s Puls, is a standalone product that will not need a connection to a phone to operate. It has a 3G connection and voice control, as well as a display and camera, although no specifications or battery life information have been shared.
