Xiaomi outs Mi Bunny — smartwatch for kids w/ SOS button

Kevin Bruce Francisco

Xiaomi has launched a smartwatch and it’s not like any other smartwatch available in the market today. This is mainly because the Mi Bunny is dedicated for kids and their safety.

Also known as the Mitu Watch, it’s made of plastic with silicon straps to make it more comfortable to wear for the young ones. Connectivity-wise, it’s got Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well as an included prepaid SIM card for receiving calls.

The Mi Bunny also has a special SOS button that when pressed, sends its GPS location to the partnered mobile device and comes with a short audio recording. This way, the kid could be trained to press it and say a few words as to what the emergency is about, for example.

This smartwatch for kids is priced at CNY299 (approx. Php2.1K) and comes with more helpful features like setting a certain safe zone that, when your kid exits, notifies you through your device. That’s just some of its tricks up its sleeve which you can all read about in Xiaomi’s page.

In an attempt to make overtaking large vehicles safer, Samsung shows off its Safety Truck which is equipped with a 4-piece display that shows what’s ahead of the truck.

It’s a common sight here in the Philippines to see one-lane roads with large trucks especially when the truck ban has been lifted). We’re sure that a lot of you drivers have experienced tailing it and had a hard time overtaking because you couldn’t see what’s ahead. This is what Samsung’s Safety Truck is made for.

Samsung Safety Truck key features:

  • Wireless camera
  • 4-piece display
  • Night Vision mode

The  semi-trailer truck is mounted with a wireless camera at its front which sends real-time images to the four displays at the back. This should give the drivers behind a good idea of what’s happening ahead even at night. This also makes it possible for the driver to anticipate the behavior of the bus (like when it would slow down and stop).

Through this prototype, they were able to confirm that it would help drivers on the road and hopefully lessen the number of road accidents due to overtaking.
