Moff SDK now available for developers

Moff, the creator of the wearable band that turns anything into a toy, has made its SDK available for developers at this year’s SXSW trade show. The Moff SDK will provide iOS developers access to its proprietary motion and position recognition library, as well as access to the company’s Bluetooth connection manager software.

Tokyo Motion Control Network is the first to showcase its prototype Toothbrush App, developed using the Moff SDK. It utilizes Moff’s Bluetooth LE manager and motion and position library to make toothbrushing fun and engaging for kids while it fosters good brushing habits.

“With the Moff SDK for iOS, app developers are given access to our company’s ‘secret sauce’ — a library of proprietary motion and position recognition data and algorithms. Our data library enables easy development for new genres of apps to pair with the Moff Band,” says Aki Takahagi, CEO of Moff.
