Quantified Self revolution : Hello Human 2.0
This week’s Quantified Self roundup features a filmmaker’s perception of the Quantified Self revolution, a platform that tracks everything in your life, and a design-savvy fitness tracker.
Human 2.0
Renowned filmmaker Jason Silva recently released a new video in his YouTube channel Shots of Awe wherein he talks about how amazing the Quantified Self revolution is. Silva talks about how sensors obtaining all these data from millions of people can be used to better analyze a person and could well be the beginning of Human 2.0.
It’s certainly an interesting concept to ponder, and that’s what Silva does best. The filmmaker’s been on a guest on theCUBE on at least one occasion, and we revisit his most recent appearance here, where he discusses Big Data and its impact on the consumer.
Tictrac
The biggest challenge right now in the Quantified Self revolution may be app fatigue, so it certainly doesn’t help that there are so many apps and gadgets available today. To keep you get focused and on task, there’s a new platform that will help you keep track of all the tracking that matters.
Tictrac allows you to sync all the apps and gadgets you are currently using so everything you need is in one place. It tracks anything from your email, blood pressure, supermarket foods, food intake, your baby, and even the calories you burned during your workout. And if you have just started with the quantified self revolution and your fitness tracker or app doesn’t offer other tracker, you can use Tictrac to track anything you please.
It is available in both mobile and web platform so you can check your progress anytime.
Via Heartbeat Bracelet
If you’re still looking for a fashionable fitness tracker, you might want to check out the Via Heartbeat Bracelet. The Via Heartbeat is still a Kickstarter project and has a long way to go to achieve its $300,000 funding goal.
What makes this fitness tracker different is that it looks simple but elegant and if people aren’t familiar with it, no one would guess that it’s a fitness tracker. It is designed to fit comfortably and stay in place no matter how rigorous your workout routine is. Via it’s web app, you can set your goals. This will automatically sync with your bracelet and will glow various colors depending on which of your goals is being achieved.
