NorthStar v 1.0 Implants are Coming!
Hey everyone, Grindhouse is ordering the first production run of our “NorthStar” devices. This first version will be a silicon implant that lights up with 5 bright red LEDs when activated with a magnet. We’re looking for people who are interested in being among the initial batch of pioneers (alongside Tim Cannon and some of the Grindhouse team) that can give us feedback on the product and be on the forefront of this technology. Tentative implant dates are in September 2015 at the earliest. If you’re interested in being among the first to explore this technology, shoot an email with your Name, Date of Birth, Phone Number, Address, and Email Address to [email protected]
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

My only question is, what is the major function of the North Star? and will it include a way to charge from a wireless docking station or something similar?
There is another model coming out soon that allows users to make certain gestures which are interpreted by a program an perform a function. You can turn lights on or off, etc etc. Basically, whatever you can think up. It's very cool stuff. I've seen the device in action.
Now, I can see some people being critical of this 1.0 model because it doesn't have a tangible function like the next ones will. Keep in mind, this is a device made due to the enormous volumes of requests for just such an aesthetic based device. Ever since the circadia, people have asked for a way to put lights under the skin. This is going to provide that.
If you missed your chance to check out the prototype at grindfest, here's a brightness test!
