Orbisk introduces a solution to reduce food waste by up to 70%

ces2022, Highlights, Hot Tech / /

January 11, 2022• by

Image recognition technology leads to high-cost savings for hotels and restaurants

Utrecht, the Netherlands, December 2021 – One-third of all the food produced globally is wasted, representing 1.3 billion tons of edible food and unnecessary spending. Orbisk is a Dutch startup aiming to make the world food system more sustainable, by giving professional kitchens the ability to reduce their edible food waste stream by up to 70% with their fully-automated food waste monitoring service. The collected data allows professional kitchens to adapt and optimize their entire food process, save thousands of kilos per year (worth tens of thousands of dollars), and realize a net operating margin increase of 2-5% while doing good for the planet.

Combating climate change

According to Project Drawdown, food waste reduction is the #1 solution to combat climate change. The foodservice industry wastes billions of kilograms of edible food per year, resulting in pollution (growing, farming, transport) and billions of kilograms of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. And it’s happening because of a lack of insights. After all, you can’t reduce your food waste if you don’t know how much you waste.

How Orbisk works

Orbisk has made it its mission to enable hotels, restaurants, and caterers to track and combat their waste. Through image recognition technology, Orbisk recognizes what sort of ingredient goes to waste and in what quantity. Chefs, kitchen staff, and business owners get access to an online dashboard with all the collected data from the monitor. They can see per week, day, or ingredient, how much they throw away, and at which moment of the day. This allows them to recognize recurring losses and adapt their entire kitchen process to save food, money, and do good for the environment.

Orbisk food waste solution is available for $650 per month. With Orbisk, an average food service location saves on average $65.000 per year.

FluxWear Will Debut Its Wearable Neuromodulation Device At CES 2022

ces2022, Health Tech, Highlights, Neuromodulation, wearble / /

January 10, 2022• by

FluxWear, a neuromodulation technology company, announces that it will be demonstrating its first product at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 5-8, 2022. The product, SHIFT, is a wearable neuromodulation device that allows those suffering with pain, anxiety, or stress to rapidly attain a meditative state and experience the benefits of meditation.

The SHIFT device by FluxWear.
The SHIFT device by FluxWear.

SHIFT delivers a unique magnetic stimulation profile resulting in rapid functional connectivity improvements within targeted brain networks that quickly place the user in a relaxed meditative state – all in a discrete, comfortable cadet-style cap. Once in this state, the user can attain the health benefits of meditation including reduced pain, decreased stress, deeper sleep, and improved focus.

“We are thrilled to be taking our product to CES to show the world what this technology is truly capable of,” says Kamran Ansari, co-founder of FluxWear and inventor of SHIFT. “We sincerely believe that this device will make the benefits of meditation accessible to all and change the lives of millions who suffer from chronic pain and anxiety.”

In 2017, Kamran’s sister and co-founder, Nadia Ansari, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which caused her severe chronic pain. Determined to help his sister, Kamran began a journey to develop a product that would help Nadia achieve a meditative state to better manage her pain. After creating the initial prototype in 2020, Kamran and Nadia experimented and eventually developed a stimulation profile that, within minutes, enabled Nadia to enter into a deep meditative state and reduce her pain as a result.

FluxWear will be demonstrating SHIFT in the Westgate Hotel and will be scheduling exclusive, one-on-one SHIFT mediation sessions for media.

For media inquiries about SHIFT or reserving a demonstration at CES, please contact [email protected] or [email protected]. For more information on FluxWear, visit their website.

Lalaland launches Meta Model NFT exclusively for CES

ces2022, Crypto / NFT Tech, Highlights, lalaland, meta model, nft / /

Award-winning fashion tech start-up Lalaland today announced the launch of its Meta Model NFT exclusively for CES. The Amsterdam-based company is the next name to venture into the virtual world as interest in the metaverse

and assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have surged over the past several months. 

Virtual fashion models, digital fashion, and blockchain collide in a global first with the launch of Lalaland’s new limited-edition NFT built using Lalaland’s Genesis Meta Model Creator.

Lalaland’s Genesis Meta Model Creator, launched at CES 2022, is a first-of-its-kind product. Fashion brands and retailers can leverage the tool to generate virtual fashion models of different body types, sizes, and skin complexions, helping them reduce cost and enjoy faster time to market for their on-model images.  

By combining crypto technology with virtual fashion models wearing digital fashion, Lalaland’s project marks the first time NFT artwork has been designed exclusively for CES visitors.

“The release of our NFT marks an exciting moment, because with this launch, we’re opening up new possibilities and value for NFTs, as well as a new distribution channel for our virtual fashion models,” said Lalaland’s co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer Harold Smeeman.

Lalaland is forging a whole new realm in fashion, and the world has taken notice. Backed by Google’s Black Founders Fund, Lalaland has already created virtual fashion models that more than two million consumers see on a weekly basis. 

Lalaland will be showcasing the Meta Model NFT at CES in the NL Tech Square Start-Up Pavilion in Eureka Park at Tech West in the Venetian Expo Venue, Level 1, Hall G.

Cosmo Connected eyewear launches safe urban navigation with ActiveLook® technology

Accessory Tech, ces2022, Highlights / /

January 7, 2022• by

ActiveLook® is proud to announce its partnership with Cosmo Connected, the French developer of connected urban micro-mobility safety solutions. Developed by MICROOLED, ActiveLook® offers a miniaturized and invisible augmented reality device that displays navigation information via a Head-up display.

Designed to improve the practice and performance of sports competitors, ActiveLook® technology enables the real-time display of useful and essential data, such as speed, cadence, heart rate, etc. In combination with expert software, this unique miniaturized technology can be elegantly integrated into eyewear without affecting its design or ergonomics. Its low power consumption means record battery life for longer athlete support.

The MICROOLED microdisplays used by ActiveLook® technology have already been integrated into premium cameras, precision binoculars, and other optical devices. Now developed specifically to achieve the compact size and lightweight essential for integration into frames, this technology never compromises eyewear aesthetics, battery life, or weight.

CosmoVision eyewear: a partnership between Cosmo Connected and ActiveLook®

As part of its forward development path, ActiveLook® is now looking to the world of sport and urban micro-mobility to meet the daily needs of travel and sport. In this context, mixed reality that delivers navigation and physical performance data considerably improves the safety margin of wearers. Since 2000, screens have become part of our daily activities and our lives increasingly depend on them. In developing a new product category of connected eyewear, ActiveLook® is offering its users the opportunity to follow their route safely with no need to look at their smartphone.

ActiveLook® Founder Eric Marcellin-Dibon says: “Mass adoption of AR relies on discrete integration. Consumers aren’t prepared to put on superhero helmets, but they definitely do want eyewear that helps them to see and do their activity better. We believe that ActiveLook® is the inevitable technological evolution of the eyewear that has been making our lives easier for centuries”.

Cosmo Vision connected eyewear will be available for pre-order at €489 from 18 October via the Cosmo Connected website, and previewed in the Alain Afflelou retail network starting early in December.

A solution for eyewear manufacturers and service providers

Developed out of a 5-year research and development plan costing several million euros, ActiveLook® provides a complete solution that includes hardware and an open API for easy integration by eyewear manufacturers and third-party service providers. Integrating ActiveLook® technology allows eyewear brands to enhance their range of connected sports eyewear to offer their customers a critical data display option built around Bluetooth® technology.

Engo, Julbo and Cosmo Connected eyewear brands all use embedded ActiveLook® technology, which is also compatible with Garmin devices.

How does it work?

Eyewear equipped with ActiveLook® technology contains an embedded and invisible microdisplay that, depending on the sport concerned, shows route, speed and heart rate data without obstructing the wearer’s view of the horizon. The heart of the ActiveLook® module is based on a monochrome AMOLED display with 304 x 256 pixels resolution consuming less than 1 milliwatt; 30 times less energy than the most advanced of its competitors. With a battery life of more than 12 hours, and weighing just 6g, ActiveLook® provides a readable display regardless of ambient light conditions. The ActiveLook® device connects via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to a smartphone, watch and to some more specific sensors (heart rate sensor, power sensor, etc.).

ActiveLook® will be showcased at the AWE 2021 Augmented World Expo from 9 to 11 November this year.

TINECO TO UNVEIL THE WORLD’S FIRST SMART CARPET CLEANER AT CES

ces2022, Highlights, Home Tech, smart carpet, tineco / /

January 5, 2022• by

Tineco, a pioneer in floor care and smart home appliances, is slated to unveil the world’s first smart carpet and upholstery cleaner – CARPET ONE – at CES 2022 in Las Vegas, taking place January 5th to January 7th. Dedicated to producing innovative technologies that make everyday home appliances easier than ever to use, the introduction of Tineco’s newest Carpet Cleaner Series marks the brand’s expansion into the category, adding to its portfolio of full home floor care cleaning solutions.

Designed to deliver professional carpet cleaning results, the Tineco CARPET ONE Smart Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is an easy-to-use, tech-enabled appliance that guides users through the cleaning process. Beyond carpet cleaning, the unit has an additional hose and stain-remover tool to clean upholstery, stairs, and other hard-to-reach areas.

The CARPET ONE Smart Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner provides 130AW of ultimate suction and a motor power of 1300W. Further features, unparalleled in the market, include:

HeatedWash Technology: A unique heating panel ensures the water temperature remains consistently high throughout the cleaning cycle.

PowerDry Technology: By the press of a button, water residue is powerfully extracted from surfaces and hot air is continuously blown to the carpet, drastically cutting down the dry time to 30 minutes or less.

DrynessMeter: A humidity sensor detects dampness in real-time and displays the dryness level through a “DrynessMeter” on the LED screen.

Similar to all models in the Tineco ONE series, CARPET ONE is equipped with the brand’s proprietary iLoop™ Smart Sensor Technology that detects messes and automatically applies optional suction power, as well as water volume, for an effective clean. The LED display will notify users when the surface is truly clean as the iLoop™ ring will convert from red when dirty to blue when fully washed.

The series also includes the CARPET ONE PRO, equipped with an advanced LCD screen displaying vivid animations, and iCARPET, a functional yet equally as powerful carpet cleaner.

Launched in September 2021, Tineco’s FLOOR ONE S5 Series will also be on display, including CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in the smart home appliances category, the FLOOR ONE S5 PRO.

To see demonstrations of Tineco’s newly unveiled products, as well as additional floor care solutions, stop by Tineco’s booth at CES 2022 at Venetian Expo, halls A-C, booth #52916. Learn more about Tineco by visiting https://us.tineco.com/.

EZVIZ unveils the C8PF Dual-Lens Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera

ces2022, ezviz, Highlights, Home Tech / /

December 31, 2021• by

Following on the success of the previous C8 camera range, EZVIZ, a global innovator in home intelligence, is pleased today to introduce its C8PF 360° pan-tilt-zoom camera.  Winner of the Good Design Award 2020, the C8PF features advanced dual-lens technologies to fulfil an unprecedented 8× mixed zoom for full home protection and provides a picture-in-picture video display mode of both wide and close-up views. It has a compact and modern design which avoids overcomplicating the camera functions making it easy to use for the average homeowner. The launch of the C8PF aims to make commercial-grade security affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone.  The C8PF pan-tilt-zoom camera is available for $169.99 from Amazon.

The C8PF is the world’s very first smart home camera that offers 8× mixed zoom, delivering impressive, non-blurry zoomed in images for extended vision. The integration of a 12mm telephoto lens with a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens means users can take advantage of this advanced feature by using the EZVIZ App to zoom in and out smoothly, thus keeping an eye on what’s important without compromising on image quality or clarity. It also features four infrared lights for great night vision up to 30 meters (98 feet), meaning image quality is not compromised whatever the light conditions.

EZVIZ designed the C8PF to provide useful picture-in-picture display, in both live viewing and video playback modes. The camera captures a large picture on a small window display and allows 4×-zoom to render close-up shots on a full screen without blurring the image. Users can tap to zoom in on 

areas of interest, so as not to miss detail on far-away objects.

Thanks to EZVIZ’s advanced Al technologies, the C8PF reduces false or irrelevant alarms by distinguishing human shapes from pets or objects and the device has the ability to customize detection sensitivity and time schedules to further filter out unwanted alerts. The C8PF comes with a built-in microphone and a speaker, allowing effortless communication to hear and talk to family, welcome visitors, or turn away uninvited guests by simply using a smartphone. 

The C8PF excels in both flexibility and durability. Unlike many bullet cameras on the market with fixed viewing, the pan & tilt design delivers a 360-degree panoramic field-of-view to avoid blind spots, ensuring no suspicious activity is missed. All through easy click-and-drag app controls. The C8PF is fully weatherproof for long-standing performance even in stormy and wet conditions. The camera also has one of the largest on-camera storage capacities in the home security market, up to an impressive 512 GB, thanks to the built-in SD card slot [SD card not included]

Homeowners can enjoy secure local video storage at all times and can record and save all treasured memories on the SD card but with EZVIZ’s CloudPlay service subscription, an additional layer of protection can be added for increased peace of mind. No need to be concerned about security breaches either, as data security and privacy make up the cornerstones of every EZVIZ design. Data transmission between the C8PF and the EZVIZ Cloud is encrypted from end to end and only the key supplied with the camera can decrypt the data.

EZVIZ is the only smart home brand to offer a full range of outdoor pan & tilt cameras with the majority of competitors still offering the traditional bullet cameras. With the launch of the C8PF pan-tilt-zoom camera it further extends its product portfolio and continues EZVIZ’s commitment to offering consumers fast-paced, innovative products but at an affordable price. EZVIZ’s continues on its mission to offer ‘advanced technology accessible to everyone.’

The C8PF pan-tilt-zoom camera is available for $169.99 from Amazon.

High resolution imagery and videos are available here

Key features:

  • Intelligent Dual Lenses
  • Picture-in-Picture Display Mode
  • 8× Mixed Zoom
  • 360° Panoramic Coverage
  • AI-Powered Human Shape Detection
  • Two-Way Talk
  • IR Night Vision (Up to 98 ft / 30 m)
  • Weatherproof Design
  • Supports MicroSD Card (Up to 512 GB)

A kitchen with white cabinets Description automatically generated with low confidence

December 28, 2021 – Samsung Electronics today announced its first-ever Bespoke French Door refrigerator, to be unveiled at CES 2022, bringing Bespoke to nearly every major refrigerator type sold in the United States.

Available in a choice of 3-door, 4-door and Family Hub™ models, the new Bespoke French Door refrigerator expands Samsung’s Bespoke lineup. At CES 2022, Samsung is set to display a full array of Bespoke appliances, including new products such as the Bespoke Jet™ cordless stick vacuum cleaner and the Bespoke Washer and Dryer, bringing Bespoke to the rest of the home.

The new line represents the very best of Samsung, pairing customizable designs with unique technologies that together inspire entirely new ways of living. With the Bespoke refrigerator as a centerpiece, consumers will be able to customize their décor to complement their personal style, with kitchen packages that include dishwashers, ranges and over-the-range microwaves in white, navy or green. Beyond the kitchen, the Bespoke Jet™ vacuum cleaner brings powerful cleaning performance and elegance to the living room, while the Bespoke Washer and Dryer make laundry routines intelligent and easy.

“The Bespoke concept was not just designed for the kitchen. We believe that consumers should have the freedom to customize their entire home to match their lifestyle needs,” said Kanghyup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “This expansion of the lineup empowers consumers to create living spaces that truly reflect their tastes and aesthetics — using Samsung’s meaningful innovations and technology.”

Bespoke French Door Refrigerator

Available in a range of sizes, configurations and colors, Samsung’s Bespoke French Door refrigerator brings Bespoke customization and a sleek flat-front design to the U.S. consumers’ most preferred refrigerator type. Expanding on the existing Bespoke refrigerator lineup, which includes the Bespoke 4-Door Flex™, Bespoke 2-Door Bottom Freezer and Bespoke 1-Door Flex Column, this latest addition ensures that there is a Bespoke refrigerator option to suit every family’s needs. The Bespoke French Door refrigerator will be available in 3-door and 4-door configurations — in both full and counter-depth models — and includes options featuring the upgraded Family Hub™ for 2022.

With 12 colors and two finishes — glass and steel — to choose from, the Bespoke French Door refrigerator features thousands of color combinations. In glass, new colors include White, Gray, Pink, Charcoal, Morning Blue, Clementine and Sunrise Yellow.

Family Hub™ for 2022 will also support Alexa in select regions, meaning consumers can access various Amazon services, including Amazon Music and smart water filter reordering services, on their refrigerators. View Inside has also been upgraded with internal camera technology for utilizing information on food labels, allowing families to view fridge contents, manage expiration dates, and more.

Bespoke Jet™

First introduced at Bespoke Home 2021 and coming to global markets in 2022, the Bespoke Jet™ cordless stick vacuum cleaner brings Bespoke innovation into the living room.

Featuring Samsung’s All-in-One Clean Station™, the Bespoke Jet™ takes the chore out of keeping your home clean and hygienic. Once they are done cleaning, users can simply dock the vacuum cleaner and it will automatically empty the dust bag and begin to charge.

The Bespoke Jet™ also features a modern, premium design that is powerful yet light, and built to offer families a comprehensive cleaning solution. It provides 210W1 of suction power and uses a multi-layered filtration system to trap 99.999 percent of fine dust,2 delivering a more powerful yet simpler cleaning experience to the contemporary home.

The Bespoke Jet™ is available in Midnight Blue, Misty White and Woody Green — colors that allow users to place their vacuum cleaner where they like without disrupting their living space’s overall décor.

Bespoke Washer and Dryer

Designed to introduce Bespoke to the laundry room, the Bespoke Washer and Dryer include cutting-edge smart features that make doing laundry more intuitive and efficient. Both devices feature a flat-front design and are available in multiple color options, including black and navy.

By learning usage patterns and laundry routines, the AI-powered Smart Dial prioritizes frequently used settings, minimizing work and simplifying the washing and drying process. Meanwhile, the intelligent AI OptiWash™ function optimizes wash settings as well as time and detergent levels for each load, taking the guesswork out of laundry. With MultiControl™, users can easily use both the smart washer and dryer from the washer control panel when units are stacked.

NFT/Crypto becoming ‘impossible to ignore,’ as it ropes in more Wall Street investors

crypto, Fin Tech, Highlights, nft / /

December 8, 2021• by

The cryptocurrency industry is steadily roping in Wall Streets giants. In its year-end letter, LionTree’s Chairman and CEO Aryeh Bourkoff highlighted the exponential growth and potential of the budding sector. Thus, citing the recent quest by the ConstitutionDAO to buy the American Constitution’s NFT. He said,

“It epitomizes the potential of the new economy: cutting-edge technology at the service of communities who can act upon their shared ideas not only recreationally, but in ways that create lasting value.”

He also argued that cryptocurrencies could fulfill the internet’s goal of empowering individuals. According to him, the crypto sector has now become “impossible to ignore” with the industry’s market cap sitting at over $2 trillion.

Furthermore, he noted that cryptocurrencies are also helping those with excess cash to guard their funds against inflation while also getting higher yields and returns.

Expanding upon LionTree’s future crypto plans, the banker noted,

“We’re currently exploring ways to start accepting crypto as payment for our services, and in the not-so-distant future, as our ecosystem grows and our relationships continue to mature, we might even create our own LionTree token of trust.”

However, Bourkoff’s high praise was accompanied by issues that he feels need to be addressed before cryptocurrencies truly become mainstream. He noted that the industry needs to become more energy efficient to be widely accepted.

Thereby, adding that a single transaction on the Ethereum network utilizes more energy than an average U.S. household does in a week. Notably, he also mentioned the need to adopt friendly user interfaces by crypto platforms so that their user base can expand further from a predominantly male and tech-savvy population.

The biggest issue perhaps would be meaningful regulation, according to Bourkoff, as it would include governing cryptocurrencies that are explicitly marketed as alternatives to fiat currencies. He said,

“Globally, countries will have to balance regulation and innovation, and weigh their desire to attract the next generation of entrepreneurs against their urge for control through centralized currencies.”

LionTree has had a successful 2021, having brokered some large media acquisition deals including those between WarnerMedia with Discovery Inc. along with Amazon’s acquisition of MGM Studios.

Bourkoff and his firm are one of the proponents of traditional finance that are now dipping their toes into the cryptocurrency industry. Just recently, billionaire investor Ray Dalio revealed that he owns “bits” of Bitcoin and Ethereum, adding that,

“It has been an amazing accomplishment for bitcoin to have achieved what it has done, from writing that program, not being hacked, having it work, and having it adopted the way it has been.”

In fact, a recent survey by EY found that one-in-four hedge fund managers are expecting to increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies in the next one to two years. Besides, 20% of the surveyed institutional investors claiming the same.

  • An automated 3D solution that produces a 360° forest mapping in real time, and collects data on  individual trees which operators can digitally tag
  • Portable: the LiDAR box integrating Outsight’s software can be carried in a backpack and connected to a tablet for real-time surveys
  • 3 to 5 times faster than usual data collecting methods while being accurate and exhaustive
  • Offers GPS geolocation, allowing operators to overlap maps, if necessary

Paris (France), June 7, 2021 – Outsight, a leader in 3D Spatial Intelligence, has announced the launch of the first real-time LiDAR solution for the forestry industry. Drawing on its established LiDAR expertise in other industries, Outsight has developed a mapping solution capable of generating a comprehensive 3D map of a forest in real-time. Taking no longer than the time needed for the human or machine operator to traverse the plot, Outsight’s solution automatically determines the exact position and characteristics of trees. On-site operators can digitally tag each tree with supplemental information, including species or the presence of insects, that can be used for further analysis.

This solution further builds upon Outsight’s expertise in the environmental and forestry sectors. In July 2020, Outsight was selected from a large pool of candidates to be a recipient of the European Innovation Council’s inaugural Green Deal funding. A part of the European Union’s Green Deal Strategy, Outsight was chosen for its LiDAR-based environmental and forestry management and conservation solutions.

Outsight’s solution is already being used by forestry researchers around the world. Esteemed forestry professor, Philippe Nolet, has been using Outsight’s LiDAR processing technology to assist in his forest monitoring research at Université du Québec en Outaouais in Gatineau, Canada.

“With Outsight, we’re able to complete our surveys of the forest three times faster”, says Philippe Nolet. “Then, when we’re back in the office, we have a detailed inventory of the plot with all our notes automatically tagged to each tree, saving us a huge amount of time.”

The solution has also been adopted by Outsight’s Hong Kong-based partner, Insight Robotics, a leader in the Forestry Risk Management sector. Using Outsight’s ground-based LiDAR tool to supplement its market-leading aerial survey solution, Insight Robotics can provide its clients with even more accurate survey data, allowing customers to better manage their forests and plantations.

“Outsight’s LiDAR solution allows our team to quickly and accurately map a section of the forest and use the 3D map to complement our aerial survey results”, says William Tao.

After the proven success of its forestry-focused LiDAR solution on three continents, Outsight is continuing to work on new features for this market.

Award-Winning Technology

Outsight has successfully designed and built the next generation of LiDAR processing solutions, which have been the subject of 73 patent applications.

Outsight’s innovative solutions have won numerous awards, including the prestigious Best of CES Innovation Award in Las Vegas and the Prism Award from world leaders in photonics and lasers.

BluOS 3.16 update brings an unforgettable 3D sound experience to your movies, music, games and shows.

Bluesound, makers of the award-winning hi-res wireless multi-room line of audio players, announced a software update for the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ that introduces all-new audio settings for realistic home theater sound and adds support for the immersive power of Dolby Atmos. Ahead of the US Black Friday holiday, customers will be prompted to update their PULSE SOUNDBAR+ and experience an incredible soundstage that brings a whole new dimension to movies, music, games and shows.

The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ ($899 in black/$999 in White, U.S. MSRP) is the ultimate audiophile-grade soundbar that will satisfy any home entertainment need. It is offered in a choice of Black or White finish and is configurable to a range of home entertainment applications. For ease of installation, it comes supplied with a wall mount bracket as well as two kickstand feet.

An Immersive Dolby Atmos Experience

The unique BluOS implementation of Dolby Atmos in the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features four virtualization profiles – Movie, Music, Late Night and Off – giving customers more features than typical in other soundbar implementations of Dolby’s audio processing technologies. While content that is encoded in Dolby Atmos will provide the most realistic experience, any content – from two-channel all the way up to seven-channel – can be virtualized to provide users a wider, higher, and more enveloping soundstage. Great care has been taken to assure the timbre of the audio remains natural anywhere in the listening environment.

“We are extremely excited that BluOS 3.16 brings a whole new dimension to our customers’ home theater experience with the PULSE SOUNDBAR+,” says Matt Simmonds, Bluesound Product Manager. “Many brands overlook audio quality when implementing new technologies in the soundbar category, but at Bluesound, audio quality comes first. So we’re delighted that our team’s decades of software engineering and HiFi audio design experience has made Dolby Atmos in a two-channel soundbar more believable and natural than ever.”

Flexibility For Any Entertainment Setup

Connect nearly any audio source to the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ via its array of wired and wireless, digital and analog connectivity options. TVs, gaming consoles, music streaming services, laptops, and music libraries can be accessed through HDMI eARC, Apple AirPlay 2, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, TOSLINK, RCA, USB, and our proprietary BluOS music streaming system.

More powerful, More Efficient

Designed for end-to-end efficiency, the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features a powerful custom-specified ARM Cortex A53 Quad-Core chipset that processes audio 8 times faster than previous generations of Bluesound architecture. Combined with two WiFi chips to prevent network latency, this flagship board design offers rock solid and zero-lag audio performance, even for demanding gaming applications.

Precision app control

The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ offers a spectrum of control options, making it easy to weave home entertainment into everyday life. Newly added simple touch controls on the front panel now offer quick access to play, pause and volume. With just a smartphone or tablet, the built-in BluOS wireless multi-room streaming technology can connect and sync audio to, from, and around any room in the home. Hands-free control of your home entertainment is made possible with popular voice assistants from Google, Amazon, and Apple, while professional smart home integrators can get access to drivers for popular control systems like Lutron, Crestron, RTI, Elan, and others.

Like all Bluesound PULSE speaker models, the acoustic design and speaker voicing was performed at Canada’s National Research Council by Lenbrook’s renowned speaker design and engineering team.

“In 2016, Bluesound launched the world’s first Hi-Res soundbar, setting the bar for audio excellence in the category that continues to this day,” Simmonds continues. “With the PULSE SOUNDBAR+, we continue to innovate and refine, making good on our commitment to bring hi-res, HiFi listening to everyday life.”
