It is an exciting period for human beings, where information management and technology are integrated to provide an array of services that are beneficial to us. A project initiated by Ninja Blocks based in Sydney Australia is committed to contribute to the digital sphere with cutting edge technology that defines the next generation, right in our living rooms.
Ninja Sphere is a device that claims to let the user takes control of his/her environment by providing instantaneous feedback on changes in the environment with accurate in-home location data. The device detects changes in temperature, lighting and any other objects that the user wishes to monitor.
Innovation comes at a cost though and Ninja Blocks requires funding for its device in order for its ambitious idea to become a reality. Through Kickstarter, Ninja Blocks is gauging whether there is sufficient demand for the product and are assessing the consumers’ willingness and ability to buy the product. Ninja Blocks is also relying on the “Lean Startup Model”; through initial development kits and beta testing of the device, they are modifying and reconfiguring the device based on consumer feedback. With the heavy reliance on information management through kickstarter and social media such as Twitter and Facebook, Ninja Spheres can procure valuable data in considering which direction the company should head in. Customer development and agile practices might ultimately transform Ninja Blocks’s vision into a reality.
