Zoku

What happens when you look up, and ahead? You move swiftly and decisively towards your goals. So, why are you still staring down at your clunky, outdated smartphone, at the same 5-inch piece of glass you’ve let dominate your thinking since 2010? Holding you back, much? It’s a new decade. It’s time to move on, with new personal technology that allows you to advance freely while staying fully connected with both your surroundings and the data you need to navigate through them. At Zoku, we want you to stop clutching your phone and embrace our augmented audible reality device, Hy instead. Our patented earphones are designed to be worn all day without blocking your hearing, letting you shift easily between the natural and digital world. Got a question? Hy’s got the answer, and will also supply you with pre-emptive real-time information. We’re creating a whole ecosystem of wearables that put the human experience – not a screen interface – first. Founded in 2015, our mission is to develop the next generation of safe, comfortable, and private multi-function devices that allow you to connect without obstructing your vision. The name Zoku comes from a Sino-Japanese character meaning tribe, clan, or family. We believe in the power of technology to strengthen our communities, rather than enforce divides. We’re based in Birmingham, in the heart of England, a great location for us to build partnerships with global technology providers and innovative software suppliers. After a successful round of IndieGoGo funding in 2017, we are just putting the finishing touches to our first fully operational prototypes and now, at the beginning of 2021, we’re all set to roll out Hy to early adopters globally over the next 12 months. Want to focus on the future? Hy is just the beginning. Follow us for updates. Look up, and ahead.
