Oregon Scientific will unveil the new products at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week, Meeting Room S117-S118, South Hall 2, Ground Level. The new products will include:
-- Time and Wireless Charging Station+ The charging station uses Qi-enabled
charging standard set forth by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The
Time and Wireless Charging Station+ is a recipient of the CES
Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award and features a projection
clock, weather forecaster and wireless charging station for Qi-enabled
mobile devices or devices with Qi-enabled charging accessories. The
station provides reliable indoor and outdoor temperature readings and
weather forecasts based on barometric pressure. Even the iPhone 4 can
be charged on the pad with a Qi-enable sleeve! (MSRP $129)
-- Portable Emergency Alert Radio The alert radio lets users know when the
National Weather Service issues imminent weather or civil emergency
warnings in the area, providing 24/7 updates from national agencies. The
radio includes a digital AM/FM radio, weather band channels, NOAA
Weather Radio alerts, and SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding)
technology that allow users to customize location-based alerts. The
radio also features a hand crank and solar panel for supplemental
charging in dire situations that will keep the LED flashlight, siren and
radio operating. A USB-compatible cell phone charging port, powered by
the hand crank, is also included for on-the-go charging in emergency
situations. (MSRP $79)
-- Remote Weather Access Platform The weather platform synchs up with
Oregon Scientific's professional weather stations, like the new WMR300,
and uses traditional wireless frequencies and a "hub" to convert weather
data into uploadable information to a personal website or via a
smartphone (iOS, Android) app. The platform allows homeowners to stay
on top of real-time weather conditions at preset locations around the
house, monitoring microclimate from afar - including basements, attics,
gardens and garages. Users can also track the historical weather data
to share with neighbors or family online. (MSRP $149)
-- Touch Advanced Weather Station Perfect for a desktop or nightstand, this
compact and user-friendly weather station provides full weather
forecasts, accurate time and date, temperature, humidity and air
pressure readings, and a crescendo alarm clock at the tip of your
finger. The Touch Advanced Weather Station features a streamlined,
contemporary design with no buttons to press and nothing to attach. The
station displays indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity with up to 3
channels and utilizes touch screen technology to toggle between settings
and customize screen content. Available nationwide at Target in
exclusive colors. (MSRP $49)
-- Gaiam Touch Heart Rate Monitor The Gaiam Touch, a recipient of the CES
Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award in the Health & Wellness
category, features the industry's only button free, touch-screen.
Featuring a comfortable, slim design - 2 millimeters thinner than any
other heart rate monitor on the market - the monitor builds on consumer
research to create a more intuitive user experience. The directional
touch-screen allows for easy navigation between heart rate, calories
burned and workout time with just the touch of a finger. Available
nationwide at the Oregon Scientific Online Store, Target, Sports
Authority, Academy Sports, MC Sports and Athleta. (MSRP $99-109)
-- ATCMini Action Video Camera The ATCMini is a small HD video camera that
is light enough to capture every action-packed moment, whether users are
at the skate-park, biking down a muddy mountain trail, surfing, or
diving underwater up to 65 feet. The lightest on the market weighing
only 2.3 oz, the ATCMini features 720p HD video (30FPS), a 110 degree
wide angle field of view, photo settings of up to 1.3 megapixels, and a
built-in microphone. The ATCMini is hands-free and includes a hardshell
helmet mount for motorcyclists and skaters with several mounting options
sold separately: a handlebar mount for bikes and ATVs, a surf mount for
surfboards, snowboards or skateboards, and a vented helmet mount for
cyclists. (MSRP $179)
