NeoBytes :) is an occasional feature that takes a step back from the big headlines, to take a look at what else is happening in the vast, scary expanse of the tech world - often with a cynical eye, always with a dose of humour.
With the fast advancement of technology today, fitness trends have also risen, which brought in products like fitness watches and health bands. These contraptions aim to help us monitor our health more accurately, and help keep us fit.
Adult video website Pornhub had this in mind, and has come up with the "BangFit," a gizmo that aims to introduce a new way of getting fit, while probably having the time of your life. The BangFit system provides users with "sexercise" videos they can follow along to, and monitor how many calories they are burning while doing the deed along the way.
How does it work? A user can access the BangFit web application here, and then sync to be able to access the game on their phones. The game can be played by up to three players. The user (or users) can now choose their "sexercise," with the amount of calories you can burn being displayed on each act. Now this where the "BangFit" comes in. Players will have to strap in their phones into the BangFit belt to measure how they are doing while performing the "sexercises," and the system grants the player(s) points for their performance. Each game will last for at least 30 minutes.
According to Pornhub, the BangFit band is still bound to be available soon, and the web app is still in beta.
Pornhub is not new to these kinds of ideas. Back in February of 2015, they introduced the "Wankband," a smartwatch that collects energy when moved in an up and down motion. Further, the company even planned to take their business into greater heights by attempting to raise funds for a space porn project.
