The Mui Board Gen 2 is a low-profile smart home controller designed for quiet bedroom use, and Mui Lab has announced a new Mui Calm Sleep Platform built around millimeter-wave (mmWave) sensing. The company says the platform can track sleep by sensing posture and breathing with radar rather than relying on a wearable. Mui Lab also showed a version at CES with sensors built into the board, while initial products will use external third-party sensors.
Known details:
- Mui Lab announced the Mui Calm Sleep Platform will work with mmWave sensors to track sleep without a smartwatch, headband, or ring.
- The system senses changes in posture and breathing using radar to infer sleep state, according to the company.
- The company says the technology is nearly as accurate as a wearable EEG, but commercial use is limited and accuracy remains uncertain.
- Initially the Mui Board will rely on external third-party sensors; a modified model with built-in sensors was shown at CES.
- The platform is described as adjusting lighting quietly, guiding presleep stretching routines, and detecting tiredness or stress from voice, per the company.
- Add-on mmWave sensors are said to enable gesture control of the Mui Board from across the room, and support is expected to roll out later this year with no exact date provided.
Summary:
The announcement frames the Mui Board Gen 2 as a bedroom-focused controller that adds non-wearable sleep sensing and hands-free gesture control. Reported features aim to emphasize subtle, ambient interactions rather than visible metrics, and the company plans a rollout later this year; the exact timing is undetermined at this time.
