Atomic Bands are a pair of wearables, worn on the wrists or ankles, that aim to accurately approximate full skeletal body tracking. They have haptic feedback, OLED displays and LED lighting to give a variety of feedback points as part of dance, martial arts and fitness focused gameplay. These smart bluetooth gaming devices offer new options for Augmented Reality gaming. No camera, console or remote control needed. Single or multiplayer options. Make fitness FUN! 

Atomic Bands were chosen as one of the Top New Gadgets of CES 2017 (CNET, BBC Science, 2one5 and NewsHacker). "You can learn those sick dance moves that have always been on your bucket list or create things in an AR 3D world with the simplest gestures with advanced real-time motion tracking and pattern recognition." - 2one5, Best of CES

ALL these games for Atomic Bands will be FREE to download on iOS and Android platforms.  The cool thing about Atomic Bands is that after you have them, you DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GAMES (which normally runs between $20-40 EACH! for Kinect or Xbox... ) We are also releasing an SDK so developers can also create games for the Atomic Bands as well. In addition, we also want to hear from our IndieGoGo community about what games they would like us to develop for Atomic Bands.  This means you'll be getting about

Jardy, Mario, Frantick = ART + TECH/ CES 2017 (Lobo in the middle!)

Funky Bots started working on ATOMIC BANDS early 2016 as a way to complete our gaming platform, in order to have complete freedom of motion for body motion gaming. Funky Bots created 3 apps chosen by Apple as Best New App as well as the first motion sensor apps for taichi and street dance. We were also winners of the Alcatel Innovation Challenge and part of the Technogym Wellness Accelerator. It was our choice to use Indiegogo as our first distribution platform because we want to have a close relationship with the first adopters of our new Atomic Bands. We want to know what is important to our community so we can truly create a platform for body motion gaming that REALLY works. The hardware, like the software, is 100% tied to user experience. We want to make that unique and phenomenal.  

Risks and Challenges

We completed phase 1 hardware development in the fall of 2016 and took our product to show at CES 2017 in the Augmented Reality Gaming section. CES is the world's largest consumer electronics show and we were the only startup in our section. We wanted to show our product to the world and demo our games with our new motion bands. Atomic Bands made FOUR Best of CES 2017 lists.  We later demo-ed our Atomic Bands at Intel's i360 Expo in San Diego late Janurary 2017. Players were having a blast.

We are now ready to go to contract manufacturing for Atomic Bands (testing, verification and design certification). Our partners include Technogym (official Olympic sponsor), Alcatel and TCL. Along with our partners, we want to make sure Atomic Bands are a great product and that we deliver to our customers on time.

 We will keep our backers up-to-date the whole way through.  We’re working with an experienced team of engineers, product designers and community testers. We promise to let you know of any deviations in schedule and look forward to your feedback as we prepare our product for final production.   Let's begin this journey together!

1) Is this system compatible with the Xbox?
No, in fact this is a completely new, independent gaming system. No console, camera or remote control needed.   Real time motion tracking, single or multiplayer options completely via BLUETOOTH connection.

2) Can I pay with Paypal?
No, IndieGoGo accepts Apple Pay, Swipe and all major credit cards

3) Is this system compatible with AR and VR games?
YES!!  This system is designed to be able to work with both AR and VR games. We are also opening up our software dev. sdk so game developers can create new innovative games that they can upload directly to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play. This offers a whole new world of innovation for indie game developers.

4) How is this different from the Wii joy con (or the Switch stick)
First of all you don't have to hold a device in your hands, which means you have your hands free to move and your movement is much more natural.  We also have the oled screen and led lights so players see the score right on their wrists and get pinball like feedback so playing even more engaging.  Atomic Bands have advanced piezo haptics (2 microhammers at different locations on the band) so you can do rhythm training and feel BOTH the bass and the high hat, or rather the BOOM and the KLAK!

5) Will my product ship on time?
Absolutely.  Also if you are not 100% happy with the product, we will refund your money, no questions asked. We want people to  LOVE Atomic Bands and the games they play with them.
