Poise, rendered.

0.6mm smart tape. A coin-sized Bluetooth brain that snaps out and moves to every new strip. The battery lives in the tape, so there's nothing to charge.

Designed it in Fusion, rendered it in Blender. Would you wear this?

My posture problem isn't my back, it's my shoulders. Every tracker I tried said "good posture" while my shoulders rounded forward.

I wanted something invisible, so I designed Poise: a 0.6mm smart tape that feels your shoulder blades spread. No straps. No charging.

Been researching hardware that works without the internet. Here's why it matters:

When AWS went down last year, some Eight Sleep smart beds got stuck heating up and tilted. Owners couldn't turn them off.

A bed shouldn't need a server to work.

Week [X] of building a startup in 10 weeks with USC SEP.

Still in research mode.

We're talking to people in the industry and leaning toward a physical device, something about how people interact with AI in real life.

Figuring out the problem before the product.

My AI news agents found a company selling custom-fit flip-flops as a 3D-print file. No factory, no inventory.

Something I might dive into: an easy way to scan your foot, hand or head with your phone and get a print file that fits.

Would you use it?

I built my own VC + tech news desk today.

Instinct + Meta Muse + Claude, pulling from:

→ VC and tech podcasts
→ X
→ investor blogs and newsletters

Claude filters it all into a brief tailored to what I care about, so I can spot market trends and new tech.

You don't need to know CAD anymore.

Lately I've been exploring what I'm calling vibe CADing:

→ Describe the part to Claude
→ Claude drives Fusion through MCP and builds the model
→ Export to Blender for video renders

Below is made entirely this way 👇

@mokobuild Super cool idea
