 lucky enough to live in a country in an area where the air is always purer, there's no pollen, you never have any allergies, but there's a lot of us who live in areas where that is a big problem. There's a lot of countries that are having trouble with air quality and a company called Wind, WYND, is aiming to try to help you create a bubble of pure air just for yourself. And I'm here with Raymond Wu from Wind and he's going to tell us about that. Thanks. So I'm Ray and the WYND product is actually two parts. We want to clean your air so there's a purifier, you can turn it on and basically by spinning the top you can you can control the level of airflow. I'm going to explain a little bit for the audio listeners too. So he's got a cylinder that's maybe what I don't know, eight, ten inches long, a couple inches in diameter and he's turning the top of it. It's got a nice blue light and there's a fan blowing air out of it. An inside's a medical grade filter that filters out anything from allergens to pollen to pet zander all the way down to the size of very tiny particles such as car exhaust, industrial pollution, and even bacteria. And on top of the purifier side of things, we wanted to give people insights about the air quality because air is mostly invisible. So how do you know when it's bad or even getting better? And so we basically invented our own air quality monitor. So he just pulled a small chunky piece out like the size of a car fob out of the bottom and that piece is called the air quality tracker and we invented it because we saw that air quality monitors out there are really big and expensive and they shouldn't have to be. We wanted people to get insights about the air quality without having to spend a lot and having something that's so small they can carry it around with them if they wanted to. So this is the size of my thumb and if you wanted to you can bring it with you. It has a week-long battery life and it'll give you insights about the air quality, what you're breathing, and then when you need to you can take out the purifier. It's almost like a big brother and they work together to basically monitor and then clean the air automatically. So if I'm wondering how is my office, I don't know whether you know I've been sneezing a lot or my nose is dripping, what is it, what's going on, is there something in my office? You could carry that around monitor it over time and how do you get the data off of this? Where does that come in? So we use Bluetooth low energy it's very safe and it basically connects to your phone and the phone aggregates all that and interprets it for you and we have a good set of designs that basically make that very transparent. So we'll tell you for example today we filtered out this much pollution it's equivalent to you not breathing in this many cigarettes. Oh I love it I love it so you put in a metric we can understand. Yeah and then on top of that we know wind is designed initially for kind of a personal experience it's for your own air quality it's for your own sensing and purification but on top of that when we have all these sensors deployed we want to create a ways of air quality and so today at CES is the first time we're debuting this it's actually the first crowdsourced air quality I think ever with mobile sensors and what I'm showing you here is he's got a display map of Las Vegas and there's a bunch of little dots and a lot of them are blue with little numbers on them like 17 19 21 we see some bad ones though tell us about this. Yeah so we had users basically our customers walk around with these sensors and they went into casinos they were outside they were at the airport and they were collecting data for themselves but also for the whole community and here we're showing you all the data that was collected just in one day and you can see some places are very clean the the the circles are very blue there's a number in there called the air quality index it's a very it'll be a very low number if it's clean but there's then there's some other numbers that are purple or yellow or orange meaning that those areas were not very clean. I do not want to go to that 450 that is not a good place to go. That looks like it was very bad maybe there were people smoking was a smoking lounge or something but when we get this density of data we hope we can give a lot more insights to people about how to keep themselves healthy. So there's a crowdsourced piece to that and you as a member of the wind community you get access to this data? Yeah actually that data is free for everyone we we have an app called Air Bubbles it's for iOS and Android called Air Bubbles and it shows air quality from all around the world but when we get our devices deployed the actual hardware we're going to add to that and it's going to create much more insights than what we have already. So you've got metrics real honestly metrics you can really see what you're doing and understand and a device that's beautiful that I mean it would look gorgeous on a desk it's one of its white I see you have a black one as well it's got the pretty blue light everybody loves the blue light on top you know that you can change the volume of the air being blown at you in the in the purified form it's got a little kickstand this is a beautiful product it looks like it solves an interesting problem and I love metrics I'm a crazy person for metrics when do you expect the wind to be available? It'll be available in April and it's available already right now for pre-order on our website at hellowind.com so hellownd.com and how much are we talking? 154 for the pre-order and it'll go up to 189 for the retail price. That is not bad at all that's that's pretty impressive well this is fantastic thank you very much Ray appreciate your time thank you Ellison
