Ambient Devices Inc.
Ambient’s mission is to make online information as easy to check as the time. Ambient is the pioneer and leader in delivering actionable and relevant online information through glanceable
devices supported by its low-cost wireless bit-trickling applications. Founded in 2001 out of MIT’s Media Lab, and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Ambient Devices has already achieved profitability, having sold over 50,000 units. In 2003, the company launched the bestselling Ambient Orb, named in the NY Times Magazines "Year in Ideas." Ambient's vision is to
embed information in everyday objects, making the physical environment an interface to digital information. Colors glow to indicate energy pricing, analog meters reflect the movement of the stock market, a post-it-note shows you commute congestion, and on rainy days your umbrella lights up so you know to take it with you. The Ambient Information Network powers embedded wireless applications for companies in consumer electronics, transportation, energy, health and wellness, and whitegoods.
