Hand Sensor Switch
A user-friendly solution for controlling the "punch" without relying on a phone or other device.
A convenient and hands-free way to control the "punch" product is with a hand sensor switch. This switch can turn the product on and off, as well as switch modes. The sensor is designed to detect up and down hand movements and is discreetly placed on the back of the product to avoid detracting from its front-facing design.
The hand sensor switch provides a seamless and convenient experience, making it an ideal solution for busy individuals who want to maximize their time and productivity.
Light Indicators
A top-mounted light indicator that displays information about the mode, connection status, and other basic information.
The indicator uses LED lights that are positioned under a thin rubber piece to minimize distraction and maintain the product's sleek design. Whether users need to check the connection status or see which mode the product is in, the light indicator provides clear and concise information that is easy to understand.
By placing the indicator on the top of the product, it is easily visible and accessible, ensuring that users can quickly and easily check the information they need without any difficulty.
Build-in Speaker
The speakers provide high-quality audio for music or workout instructions,
The Punch also features a built-in speaker system that connects to your smart home device, allowing you to listen to your favorite music or follow along with guided workout routines. The speaker produces high-quality sound that fills the room, making for an immersive and enjoyable workout experience.
The Bump
An unique 3-layer design that allows light and a bumpy effect to indicate where users should punch.
The three layers work in tandem to provide a clear and effective visual guide for users.
The LED lighting provides ample illumination to help users see the punching area, while the movable structure with the bumpy effect offers a clear and precise target for users to aim for. The soft rubber stripes on the top layer also provide added comfort and grip, ensuring that users can experience the “real” punch feeling during the work out.
Ground Projection
Providing users with clear and concise guidance for their footwork during workouts.
Located at the base of the "punch" product is a convenient slot designed to house a projector. This projector can be used to project instructional information directly onto the ground, providing users with clear and concise guidance for their footwork during workouts.
