App-Connected Bracelet Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Friendship Bracelet Machine Was Created by WowWee

— February 21, 2017 — Tech
WowWee, a creator, marketer and distributor of entertainment products and consumer robotics, updated its range of offerings with a friendship bracelet machine.

Intended for children, festival goers and anyone looking to solidify a relationship with a bracelet, the machine allows users to efficiently craft jewelry with a personalized message. Dubbed 'The Digiloom,' the machine connects to an app that enables users to select a pre-made design or make their own by typing in a message of their choice.

After choosing the design, users press a button on the friendship bracelet machine that keeps the threads perfectly separated so that one can weave them accurately and quickly to create jewelry that's tightly woven, durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Trend Themes
1. Friendship Bracelet Machines - The children's market could be disrupted by the introduction of app-controlled bracelet makers.
2. Personalized Jewelry Generation - An opportunity exists for businesses to create apps that help users design and create customized pieces of jewelry.
3. App-connected Craft Machines - Crafting experiences could be enhanced by connecting machines to apps that provide design guidance and a personalized crafting experience.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment Products - The entertainment product industry could expand its offerings by creating similar app-controlled machines that allow users to craft jewelry, toys, or other personalized products.
2. Consumer Robotics - The consumer robotics industry could capitalize on creating more child-friendly, app-controlled machines that allow kids to make their own products easily and quickly.
3. Crafts Industry - The crafts industry could integrate technology into their machines to provide a more efficient and personalized crafting experience for their customers.
