A smart pillow to improve the quality of this sleep is "ZEEQ"To monitor and analyze sleeping and snoring, loading an alarm function to aid comfortable awakening, and playing music.

You can see what kind of pillow "ZEEQ" is made by seeing the following movie.


In the movie, Mr. Warrick who is the developer of ZEEQ will explain about ZEEQ. ZEEQ not only has a pleasant comfortable feeling simply as a pillow, it can play music that will introduce sleeping, and also has a function to analyze the sleeping state. In addition to being able to wake you comfortably from the analyzed information, you can also monitor the condition of snoring and stop snoring.


This is the body of ZEEQ. At first glance I feel like a normal pillow.


ZEEQ is used in conjunction with the smartphone application.


ZEEQ is equipped with speakers, it is also possible to distribute music streaming from iOS terminals, Android terminals, and even Spotify.


Several music that is optimum for sleep introduction is recorded, and music can set such as "stop at ○ o'clock ○ minutes" by setting a timer.


In ZEEQ, it is also possible to monitor the user's sleeping state and movement during sleeping, determine the sleep cycle and wake the user at ideal timing. The movement during sleeping is detected with a triaxial gyroscope sensor.


Furthermore, when snoring is noisy, you can also adjust the position of the user's pillow by vibrating the body slightly. By unconsciously adjusting the position of the pillow by vibration, it stops snoring.


The trial production of ZEEQ started in October 2013 ... ...


Then various prototypes were created.


Many things were not like pillows, but in the end ... ...

With a special application, you can score the sleeping situation and check the sleep related information monitored such as sleeping and snoring.
