Mighty Cast, a Montreal-based startup company, develops wearable technology and software platforms that allow users to create their own customizable wearable experiences. The company aims to disrupt the space through their programmable wearable, the Nex Band, and proprietary “When/Do” platform. Through this platform, users can create or “hack” personal experiences in seconds. Whether it be controlling Spotify, opening your garage door, or lighting up in celebration every time your favourite team scores, there is no need to be a developer and hacking Nex takes seconds; allowing users to have a new smart band every day, hour, or even minute. Following the nearly year-long beta of the company’s first generation Nex Band, Mighty Cast will be releasing the Nex Evolution. The Evolution offers a complete overhaul of both the app and band experience, along with ready-to-go quick-hacks such as camera and music control, beatbox mixing, GIF generators, geo-fenced notifications, location pin dropping, and exclusive mini games. Physically, the Evolution features a new, slimmer profile and sleeker design. Mighty Cast has been awarded a patent for its modular base and token technology and has received numerous awards, including Engadget’s “Reader’s Choice Award” and the CES Innovation Award. They have also partnered with IFTTT (If This Than That) to extend their reach into the IoT space. The company is excited to announce their entry into the mobile gaming space through their collaboration with Niantic Labs’ Ingress game.
