“We basically took all of the features and functionality of 1.0 and put it into this compact, around the neck fitness sports version.  So the 2.0 design, you may notice, is pentagonal shaped.    It fits right around the neck.  It’s very flexible, it’s very light weight.”

The design won a 2018 CES Innovation Award.  You can find the new version of Vinci on Kickstarter.com.
