December 31, 2013
Archos, the French consumer electronics company, has just teased its range of "connected objects" set to be showcased at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Archos' so-called connected objects, which use Bluetooth LE connectivity, are grouped into two categories: Archos Connected Self and Archos Connected Home, either of which works in conjunction with its official app for iOS and Android.
The Archos Connected Self app connects with the company's "connected self" devices to provide key metrics related to the user's health and activity. These devices include the Archos Connected Scale, the Archos Blood Pressure Monitor, and the Archos Activity Tracker.
