The Puzzlebox Bloom is a robotic flower that produces realtime biofeedback during training of mental and physical fitness goals. We actively measure levels of focused attention, mindful meditation, and/or physical exercise using EEG headsets, heart and breath rate sensors, EMG armbands, etc. The customer's personal progress and that of friends in their social network are reflected by colored lights plus the degree of blossom by the Bloom. Following the our success the Orbit, our brain-controlled helicopter (over $500k in revenue), this is the first in a new series of products created under a novel "Open Factory" concept. We have released aspects of hardware and software under open licenses to encourage collaborative artistic and engineering evolution. Our unique business model leverages cost/performance advances in 3D printing to distribute manufacturing, purchasing back completed kits from our maker community for consumer resale, advancing education and personal entrepreneurship.
