Naked

@farhad_farahbakhshian Would love to chat with you privately about this product. It looks cool.

@datarade Sounds great. What's your email address? I'll be in touch.

@farhad_farahbakhshian First, I think it's a great idea and the price seems right but I do have a few questions about delivery and privacy. You're using tilt for payments, which says the product is still in Kickstarter mode, the difference being that Kickstarter requires a fully functioning product to start a campaign, which leads me to believe that you may not have that. Have you secured a manufacturing path? Do you have any photos of samples you've made? If I'm preordering a product through a crowdsourced campaign I'd love to see some hardware ahead of time. In terms of privacy, what are you doing to secure the access to data on your servers/locally and what is the data comprised of? Is the mirror capable of scanning only, or can pictures be taken as well? The data you are collecting is inherently extremely personal, and before I buy your product I'd love to know more about that side of things.

@frantzlight Hi Chris, You know your way around hardware products :) To answer your first question, Naked right now is fully functional and you can see a video of the scan that we did with a live Facebook Video with Brit+Co today. You can view it either on the Brit+Co Facebook page or our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/nakedfit/). A further demo video from Fox Business can be accessed from our website (on desktop) homepage. Also check out the product update section on our site (accessed from footer on our desktop site) from Intel Senior VP Josh Walden, he has seen and gotten a scan with Naked. Regarding, privacy/security, this is deeply important to us. Users can adjust privacy settings so that none of your data is synced to the cloud. At the same time, you have the option of syncing your data to the cloud to allow Naked to draw further insights on how your body is changing. Let me know if you have further questions, Farhad

@farhad_farahbakhshian Great, thanks for the info. :)

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan!

@sazp96 As a fitness instructor, I saw too many people lose motivation due to lack of visible progress. Weight without context can be misleading and dangerous at times. Our goal is to visualize progress faster than a scale and much more objective than a mirror.

@sazp96 Hi Sergio! My co-founder Farhad used to be a personal trainer in his spare time, and he noticed that even though there was always a big gym rush after New Year’s, most of the newcomers gave up after about 6 weeks. It was because they didn’t see any progress and they got demotivated. For example, they could gain 5lbs of muscle and lose 5lbs of fat, and so see no difference on the weight scale. We wanted to build a product that took health beyond the one dimensional nature of weight, because weight without context really is meaningless. So we developed Naked to provide the rich visual context needed to take control of your health and fitness: letting you see changes quicker than you can in a mirror or on a scale, allowing you to make better decisions about your diet and exercise. Hope that answers your question :) Ed

@sarthakgrover Hi Sarthak, Please check out a couple of blog posts that highlight the changes that some of our beta users experienced. https://blog.naked.fit/its-time-... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/f... Also, we just did a Facebook live video with Brit+Co. You can check it out on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/nakedfit/ Let me know if you have more questions. Best, - Farhad

@farhad_farahbakhshian Thanks! Lots of good info in these links. Great to see tech like this becoming more mainstream and accessible for everyone rather than just for athletes or at exclusive locations. Goodluck!

@sarthakgrover Thanks Sarthak!

@stephenmarklevi Hi Stephen, Yes, there will be an animation of your progress. We do this in two different ways. 1. Show a time-lapse of your body's changes 2. Heatmap showing where you've gained/lost muscle or fat Both of these are visible on our website features section. Check it out www.naked.fit Best, - Farhad

@farhad_farahbakhshian Is the time-lapse capable of animating between only 2 scans? Say I scan myself at 150lbs and my next scan is at 170lbs. Would the time-lapse create an animation of the in-betweens? Or is the time-lapse simply showing me back every scan?

@stephenmarklevi Hi Stephen, The time-lapse sequences every scan you have completed. So the more scans you do, the higher fidelity time-lapse you get. Best, Ed

@rev_austin_heap Love tech driven health as well! Muse was very cool. Any other things you recommend checking out?
