Tooling of AYO is finally initiated
Jun 30, 2016
After numerous iterations on the design, look and feel of AYO, we are happy to announce that
we have just
started the tooling of AYO!
In the last few months we finalized the development of the AYO prototypes and went through
intensive testing
– searching for the best look, feel and fit of AYO. We managed to develop AYO as a
completely wireless device
with a great battery life. And most importantly, AYO’s blue light solution is optimized and
works perfectly!
After testing different materials we found the most durable, comfortable and smooth premium
materials to
create AYO from. We are excited that the people who tried AYO during those tests were very
happy with its
look and feel in terms of comfort and design! AYO is easy and intuitive to operate and fits
comfortably for
both men and women, with 98% ideal fit.
The AYO prototype has been tested with over 500 people in order to provide the best size
that fits all
head-types. We received comprehensive response and considerable feedback based on which some
final adjustments
were made. Those included minor size improvements of the wearable and altering the AYO
nosepiece material so
that it feels very soft and flexible for each user.
Next to that, following the comments and suggestions of our backers, we created a sleek and
convenient
hard-shell case to protect AYO on the go. Additionally, we have developed an unparalleled
smartphone app
experience and intelligent algorithms for continuous optimization that follows the user’s
lifestyle and needs.
Since this validation step in our development process is as good as done, the tooling of AYO
is finally
initiated and we are
