Designing the Zamzee Activity Meter

We’re super-excited to give you a closer look at the new Zamzee activity meter! For several months, we’ve been working with the truly innovative folks at NONOBJECT to build a device that’s durable, customizable, and good-looking too – all based on feedback from our kid customers. The Zamzee activity meter records a user’s physical activity, and activity data is uploaded to the Zamzee website via a built-in USB connector.

In a recent conversation, Branko Lukic of NONOBJECT talked about the role of the activity meter in the overall Zamzee experience, saying, “This is a highly unique project because it lives in the cross-section of the physical world and the digital world.” That kind of big-picture thinking combined with the endless creative energy of the NONOBJECT team were huge assets in developing the new device.
