Ten Reasons Why You Should Back zOrigin

It is crazy how fast time goes by. This is officially the last week of the campaign. If you are still sitting on the fence, here are ten good reasons why you should back this project now!

zOrigin is built with our unique chip stacking technology

zOrigin is more than just a fitness wearable you can play with. It is the first proof-of-concept for zGlue’s unique chip stacking technology. Using zOrigin, you can create custom hardware in a matter of days!

Free zCAD trial to every backer

zCAD is our in-house cloud-based system design tool that allows you to tackle placement and routing of interconnects, electrical checks, and optimization. Most importantly, it is the tool that allows you to customize and design your own chips. P.S. The price tag for similar software for system-in-package (SiP) design can easily run into six figures.

It is ultra-low-power

With a single charge, you get a week’s use out of zOrigin.

It is low-cost

Building your own IoT systems starting at $49? Come on, this one’s obvious. zOrign comes with a charging cable, an Android App that you can customize and the source code for the algorithms.

It is tiny

zOrigin measures 11 mm x 28 mm and is the perfect size for a wearable to be worn daily.

Endless applications

zOrigin is more than just a fitness monitor. You get to decide what it’s used for: from panic buttons to smart jewelry, shoe insoles, fitness/health bands, and more!

Style it

zOrigin is compatible with a bunch of enclosures available in the market. Style it up with a cool metallic band or wear it as a necklace: you can make your own fashion statement with zOrigin.
