On Thursday, Aug. 27, Amazon officially launched its version of a fitness band. In partnership with Halo's subscription service company, they created a device that could track a person's fat content, sleep activity, and even analyze tone voice. Compared to other fitness trackers, this band's features are way more complex because it like a device from a Black Mirror episode.
Amazon-Halo band is now here!
The voice test isn't the only thing that is alarming for the new device. The Amazon Halo band also can make a 3D model out of your body to recognize your body type or even body fat.
Users can do it all through their smartphone. Unfortunately, another concerning part is that you are required to take a photo of yourself on minimal clothing, to record the right measurements of your body.
The entire process of body scanning could only take a few seconds, according to the page.
If you're worried that the image of yours in a little piece of cloth would be exposed publicly, Amazon already clarified that "the images are processed in the cloud, but encrypted in transit and processed within seconds, after which they're automatically deleted from Amazon's systems and databases. All scan images are fully deleted within 12 hours. The scan images aren't viewed by anyone at Amazon and aren't used for machine learning optimizations."
How much is it?
To become a member of the Amazon Halo band's early access deal, you only have to pay $65. This promo already has your own Halo six month-subscription. Then pay $3.99 in the following months.
