Thoroughly Considered⇢
Studio Neat is one of my favorite companies. They make design and build great products, and Tom Gerhardt and Dan Provost are two of the smartest, hard-working people I’ve met through the Internet.
Today, they are launching a Kickstarter campaign for the newest product, Obi:
We both love our pets, and assume you do too (love your pets, that is). Keeping your pet active is important for their health and well being, which is why we made Obi. Obi is a simple and beautiful device that sits on a shelf or mantle in your home. When activated, it shoots a laser, something most cats and dogs go wild for. Using your iPhone or iPad, you can control the laser manually, or set it up in automatic mode, where you can customize the way Obi behaves.
