COMPANY PROFILE
Variable, Inc. designs and makes wireless sensor platforms that connect apps and smart devices to the real world, in new ways.Our fl agship product, NODE+ is a handheld, wireless sensor platform that is transforming how we gather, process and use sensory data from the world around us.
NODE+ combines advanced motion-sensing technology with interchangeable sensor modules to stream real-time information to smart devices. Variable, Inc. is transforming industries that utilize color matching, tracking motion, temperature, humidity and more.
Founder and CEO, Dr. George Yu, and the team at Variable, Inc. have been hard at work listening to
their customers, researching new market opportunities, improving the quality and competitiveness of their sensor modules in development, and identifying strategic partnerships that can help them make NODE+ wireless sensors a leader for both personal and professional use internationally.
CNN Money recognized the NODE+ as “the coolest gizmo” at 2013 CES, the largest consumer electronics tradeshow in the world. The versatile sensor platform has also been receiving praises and commentary from Forbes, Bloomberg Businessweek, NBC News, Tech Crunch, Popular Mechanics and several other publications.

PRODUCT PROFILE
“What if, in the palm of your hand.”
NODE works with your smart device to help you explore your world. Custom modules light up the night, monitor weather, match paint color, sense gases, or precisely track motion.
The NODE+ Sensor Platform includes a 9 degrees-of-freedom motion engine (gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer),and two expansion ports on either end where you can attach any NODE+ sensor module to enhance your NODE+’s functionality.
With an open API, and new modules in development, there is not limit to what NODE+ can do!

Technical Specifi cations
For fi tness, logistics, vibration analysis, and gaming, motion is only as good as it is useful.
NODE+motion measures nine degrees of motion with a 9DOF IMU, which allows NODE+ to accurately measure its orientation and movement.
This is made possible through the combination of a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a three-axis magnetometer.
NODE+motion makes sensing movement truly mobile.
NODE+ transmits accurate data via Bluetooth 4.0 to your iOS smart device up to 250 feet away.
Other interchangeable sensor modules can be attached to either end of the NODE, thus expanding functionality.
