1. Sensors will be everywhereWearables demand it. The IoT demands it. AI demands it. VR demands it.

2. The human world is soft

3. To make this happen is hard

Our belief

Shin Park

Just from judging on slides alone, its not clear how this relates to EH. Also I think there needs to be a visionary/attention grabbing slide to get people excited about the next 20 min

Imagine a world of smart clothing that is self powered you don't even know it is on

Ryan Hawker

I agree with Shin, everything here => but imagine it self powered, no plug-in charging and fully integrated.


Who do we work with and why?

AR/VR Smart garments Consumer wellness

Shin Park

My suggestion, you can take it or leave it, is to just talk about the wearables and consumer wellness industries where EH is relevant. Might be better to stay focused on the theme and talk to product managers working on EH not other industries.


What technical requirements this drives

replacement• · Low-power radio communication• · Ensure long-term user compliance


Why do Energy Harvesting?

• Avoid LiPo disasters

• Chargerless experience
