Vi is an personal trainer powered by artificial intelligence in the form of headphones. Vi CEO Omri Yoffe explains the technology behind this innovative product.
Yoffe says this device is a geotracker and fitness watch powered inside headphones. This product, which retails for $199, differentiates itself in the market for its ability to offer real-time and personalized coaching says Yoffe. While wearable technology interest among consumers has waned in recent time, Yoffe says the Vi stands apart by its ability to combine so many features into one device.
Vi features include wireless connectivity, sweater and water resistance, and aerospace grade biosensors. Vi has raised $16 million in venture capital funding to date.
