One of the big highlights of our Connected Conference this 18-19th at the Halle Freyssinet will be the ‘connected’ crowdfunding competition. We’ve partnered with Indiegogo to identify some of the most innovative new connected objects. Starting on Monday at a launch event taking place at TheFamily, 6 selected projects will launch their campaigns. From there, they’ll have until the 19th to run their campaigns. The three most successful crowdfunding campaigns will go on to pitch on the main stage at the Connected Conference on the 19th!
We hope that you’ll join us on the 16th at 19h at TheFamily (25 Rue du Petit Musc, 75004) to help them launch their campaigns with a bang! You can register to attend here:

oPhoneThe oPhone is a revolutionary hardware device that generates complex aroma signals in rapid succession. The oPhone is loaded with 8 “oChips”, replaceable cartridges of aromatic material that make the oPhone capable of diffusing up to 300,000 unique aromas.
Starting June 17th, oSnap, the company’s iPhone application, will allow users to tag photographs with unique scents, send and receive these scent-tagged images electronically as oNotes via email, Facebook, Twitter and other. Paired by Bluetooth with the oPhone, iPhone users of oSnap will be able to aromatically experience oNotes.

Terabee works with CERN for the development of smart indoor inspection systems, able to safely and quickly navigate in unknown environments. In order to ensure anti-collision and self-localisation of autonomous robots, Terabee developed novel super fast and light distance measurement sensors and 3D cameras based on Time of Flight (ToF) technology, which is shifting robotics and autonomous navigation to a new era.
Wall Measure bundles our sensors with normal smart phones to enable a super quick taking of multiple wall measurements with a simple click. Measures can be stored in the phone or cloud and easily shared with others. Moreover, in a second step we can try generating automatically 3D CAD files for the users.

EkinoEkino, a french tech-oriented digital agency in Paris, imagined a innovative object that changes how you interact with your television.
The team started out with a simple problem to solve: today, we just can’t easily share a moment of television.
