A sleep tracking device has surpassed the $1.3 million mark on Kickstarter in its first week, with the final projection expected to be around $4 million when the project is completed in 16 days.
The sleek-looking device called Sense, which was launched by James Proud two weeks ago, had only one initial Kickstarter: raising $100,000 within 30 days, but the power of word-of-mouth from multiple tech websites has already helped raise seventeen times that amount.
The Sense is a bullet-shaped device that wouldn't stand out in an art show. The device can track your sleep behavior and your sleep environment, aiming to help you wake up at the ideal point in your sleep cycle through what they call a "Smart Alarm." It's powered by a micro-USB cable via a USB adapter.
