Meet Vi

Vi is a personal coach who takes into account your goals to provide you adapted training and real-time advice, all taking into account the data it collects and which you can access from the application. This artificial intelligence is hiding in a pair of headphones that don't seem likely to fall off when you run. This device's battery lasts a day and the sound is promised good quality. Finally, for more comfort, this device is equipped with a speech Recognition, it can play music on request and send sms.

But Vi, do not abandon you neither during nor after the effort. As if he were really next to you, Vi encourages and advises you during your race and adapts in real time to your physiology. Once the effort is finished, this artificial intelligence will communicate via sms to make sure you are well and adapt accordingly. And, no question of ignoring the weather, if it rains, this device will adjust your plans because it is also possible to use it on a treadmill, it masters the concepts of speed, distance and slope of the aircraft.

Vi, everyday

These headphones can be used throughout the day. While you listen to your favorite music, the device will monitoring your heart rate and how it changes. You can also answer the phone just by placing the headset in your ear. For more comfort, Vi is made of a material that does not slip, folds easily, waterproof and with magnetic clips. The headset knows that you touch it thanks to its bio-sensitivity.

Vi analyzes many elements on a daily basis to better adapt to your needs. Thus, this device knows your location, the time, the altitude at which you are but also your body size, your goals, your speed, your cadence, your rhythm and your cardiac variations and finally the history of your workouts. From then on, it adapts continuously. The application is available under Android and iOS.

An ongoing campaign

Vi is currently the subject of a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. You can contribute to its funding until July 20, 2020, however, this product has already been funded at 445%. It is still possible to get Vi for $ 199, € 177 thereafter, it will only be sold for $ 249, 221 euros. Deliveries are scheduled worldwide from december 2020.

The principle is comparable to the Jabra Sport Coach, here tested, but, Vi seems to take into account the criticisms made to the latter to supplant it, in price also that said… Otherwise, the real force of Vi seems to be the particularly human side of the coach. Although artificial intelligence, voice, feedback and adaptability make it a much nicer tool at first glance.
