The SPOTU wearable device contains powerful technology and high-end mechanics uniquely specialized for indoor exercises.

We have two options available for you - The SPOTU Lite and SPOTU Pro. Here are the differences below...

Collect data anywhere, any time.

One of the most distinctive features of the SPOTU Pro is the vital signs monitoring system. Users can exercise smartly by keeping track of  their respiration, body temperature, and heart rate - all with one device.

1. Respiration monitoring

Consistent breathing is important for any workout from Crossfit to Yoga. Spotu monitors your breathing so that you can stay on track and even avoid injury from breathing imbalances.

2. Body temperature monitoring

Many studies have shown that athletic performance is closely related to body temperature. During exercise, the heating of your  body increases fatigue, which can affect your workout. Spotu tracks your body temperature so you can operate at peak performance.

3. Heart Rate Monitor

SPOTU uses an ECG-type heart rate sensor -  the most accurate sensor available, traditionally used for medical purposes. Keep track of your heart rate in real time so you make sure you’re reaching your goals and making your workout as efficient as possible. 

 

SPOTU Lite is designed to separate the head unit device from the band. So you can easily wash the band individually. It is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry.

The same motion and heart rate sensor with SPOTU Pro are applied to SPOTU Lite, and it is suitable for at-home fitness, bodyweight, and HIIT as well.

 

Press the button on the center of the device for 2-3 seconds to turn on the device. When it is on, there will be vibration feedback and the LED circle lamp will blink.

 

On your smartphone or tablet, enable the Bluetooth network, and run the SPOTU mobile application. Follow the instructions on the app to sign up or log in. Then connect it to the device after the device registration on the Profile tab.

 

Now, you can start your workout with SPOTU! While you exercise, SPOTU will monitor and record your workout data in real-time.

 

While these devices are designed for outdoor exercises such as running and cycling, they face many limitations when it comes to indoor exercises where posture and rep counting are more important.

They also normally use PPG optical sensors for heart rate measuring, which have accuracy problems during intense exercises such as weight training, high-intensity interval training, etc.

 

SPOTU analyzes the YouTube videos that are most popular in the at-home fitness category as well as the YouTube channels that you’ve already subscribed to and displays them in the app for easy reference. 

 SPOTU also extracts workout details from the videos and saves them into the database, so you can view those details in the SPOTU app without having to watch the videos themselves.

Easily search for workouts that you want to do using keywords, as well as get workout recommendations for your fitness level - all from the SPOTU app.

 

SPOTU offers Real-time Performance Monitoring and Augmented Video Recording features so you can coach yourself while you're working out. This means you can see where you need to improve and correct your form before it becomes a habit or you potentially hurt yourself.

While you're working out, you'll also see information on the video itself such as:

• Movement names
• Workout time
• Reps
• Total reps 
• RPM (reps per minute) 
• HR bpm
• Body temperature

 

You can also check out the recorded videos for much more detailed indicators after your workout.

 

The straightforward user interface of SPOTU makes it easy and convenient to check motion speed, pace, and movement consistency so that you can have important training feedback even if you are not a fitness expert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During your workout, SPOTU allows you to check your heart rate level via an LED lamp on the device. The ECG type Heart Rate Sensor in the device maintains accurate HR measurement even during intense workouts.

 

Each color on your LED light represents a different heart rate level, so you know your current physical status immediately. That's important information that will help you adjust your pace for more effective athletic growth, as well as reducing the risk of injury.

 

 

SPOTU is the height of technology, wrapping comfortably around your chest and maximizing the accuracy of the biometric data by utilizing an ECG-type heart rate sensor, respiration sensor, and noise-minimized motion tracking technology. 

 

Also, the SPOTU Motion Judging Engine (an in-house developed core technology) identifies and distinguishes user movements and counts repetitions of movements accurately and in real-time.

 

Among the various types of data that SPOTU collects are linear acceleration and quaternion, both types of motion data that show patterns and features when specific movements are repeated. The SPOTU Motion Judging Engine uses a deep learning method, which makes for more accurate data and better overall performance.

Currently, SPOTU can recognize the composition and repetition counts of exercises like:

• Jumping jacks
• Burpees
• High knees
• Air squats 
• Planks
• Sit ups
• Push-ups
• And more...

The SPOTU team plans to include more than 100 exercise movements in the device from bodyweight exercises to weightlifting to gymnastics before the product is shipped.

On the SPOTU PRO spec basis, there are 4 types of sensors (ECG type heart rate, respiration, motion tracking, and temperature sensors) included in the device to collect biometric and motion data in real-time.

The respiratory measurement sensor has applied advanced smart textile technologies based on the nano carbon coating of the MCELL (US patent 16/081,875). Unlike other wrist strap type devices, SPOTU is a chest strap type device.

We chose the chest strap style because the chest is the most ideal part of human body to collect motion and biometric data.

YouTuber's Review

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPOTU devices and the mobile app are newly launched products by Spotu Technologies, Inc. - a fitness gear brand and company that was created by exercise experts, software engineers, and hardware engineers. Our team came together because we all had the same criticisms of existing fitness trackers and wanted to develop much more accurate and comfortable fitness gear.

We have put our heart and soul into this project for 3 years, and we are very pleased to introduce SPOTU to backers for the first time.

 

The SPOTU team has put a LOT of working into developing the hardware and software, in fact we have gone through 5 different prototypes and gone into 3 different stages of pre-production to ensure perfection. We are primed and ready to source parts and go into mass production as soon as the campaign is finished. 

 

The reason why we have taken 3 years to launch our campaign is that we wanted to launch our product when the mass production process was already ready. After the prototyping and pre-production stages, we secured the supply chains and means of delivery, so we are primed and ready to go into production and start deliveries within 5 months after the campaign ends. 

Our quality control and assurance, as well as the whole manufacturing process, will be done in South Korea to ensure our products will be delivered on-time all over the world.

 

Risks and challenges

SPOTU took extensive time to research and develop as it required various technologies coming together to make this work so well.

We faced many challenges along the way in the making of this product, but we are confident that we will be able to produce and deliver this product with super quality and top-notch performance exactly how we say. We make this promise to all our Indiegogo backers.

Even though we don't expect any delays, howveer if we do happen to have unexpected situations such as issues in procuring parts, we will inform our backers of them through prompt updates. With long-standing experience and know-how, we will make sure to provide the best products and accurately deliver them to you on time.
