Open Development for YODLA
We want to share all development work with all of you and enable you to collaborate with us on this project.
This why we develop the device on an open collaboration platform for you to participate and help in realizing the project.
Why we need your help?
We have completed the functional prototypes of YOLDA to verify that it works.
We want to produce a small volume of a few hundred YODLAs. We are looking at a retail price below 28 Euro.
Future Plans
Trigger Apps (iPhone, Androit) with the push of a button to bring more life to YODLA.
Why the YODLA campaign?
We are a hand full of close friends, who are working on innovation and improvements for the world and the people. We are from Austria, where yodeling is used as method to communicate in the mountains, this inspired us for YODLA. Some of us are geeks, some of us are project managers and some of us are extremely creative spirits. However, we all have one thing in common: Technology.
When people ask us how we got the idea for YODLA, we can actually tell them that we didn't—it found us. We got the notification of an idea competition (GruenderGarage – see partners) and one of our team entered an idea whilst kissed by a muse. A few weeks later, he was notified that this was an idea with potential and the go ahead to post it on indiegogo.com for crowd funding.
Initially we have looked at YODLA for quickly triggering actions with a smartphone, like ordering your favorite pizza, activating equipment such as heating systems through apps, and so on. We were talking to a great deal of people about this device, but they did not seem to have a hunger for it.
However, when we were talking to a young group of blind and visually impaired people in a Call Center in our area, we received a totally different feedback. When mentioning, that with a push of a button, your phone can be located as it rings, they responded with a wave of positive feedback. The same with our parents and their friends - they see the need for YODLA, because of misplacing phone or keys very, very frequently.
We would love to give YODLA to everyone!!!
