This is Crowdsourcing Weekends! This post highlights three different crowdsourcing projects I liked from Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or other crowdsourcing websites.
WiseButton
This will make your life much easier! Wise Button is a universal helper of your dream. They’ve managed to design it in the best possible way. It is a universal remote control and also a brilliant tracking device. Wise Button is compatible with any operational system: Android, iOS, Windows Phone. You can connect this universal button to your smartphones, tablets, music players, PCs and laptops – literally anything. It is very small and handy; you can easily attach it to your keys or handbag. Wise Button is designed to function for 1 month without recharging. You can always recharge it using Micro USB cable – and this device will serve you for many years.
Using the Wise Button, you can control your devices remotely. Wise Button helps you browse through your photo gallery, video files or websites without touching the device itself. You can even make presentations using the Wise Button. You want to skip a song playing on your stereo in the other room or play it once again? Wise Button can do it for you. You can also use it with your built-in camera and take pictures, film videos or record sound remotely. Wise Button is great for security. You’ll never lose your device again – this button has a special regime that alarms you when the connected device is more than 20 feet away from you.
As of February 2nd, this project has raised around $20,420 of their $1,000 goal. This project only has 47 days left to raise as much as it can! For a pledge of $35, you will get the WiseButton, the smart and stylish assistant on your keychain. For a pledge of $60, you will get two Wisebuttons!

My Wooden Horse
My Wooden Horse came from that corner of the mind where nostalgia and creativity coalesce. They set out to create a simple, handmade, durable wooden toy. They wanted to create a product that wouldn’t end up on a table or at a garage sale, a product that will be passed through generations, a product that when seen years later will bring back a flood of memories. Each Wooden Horse receives enormous attention in each step of the manufacturing process. Each piece is handmade and that’s why the costs are quite high. They need your support to move the operation to an industrial- scale production level, so Woody can be more widely and economically available to all.
Since each horse in the wild varies from color to color making each one unique, so can My Wooden Horse. The soon-to-be My Wooden Horse owner gets to choose among several options for their horse including the type of wood and, if they wish, what color of paint for their horse. For the client who prefers a natural wood finish, they have three options of wood to choose from: maple, oak, and beech. Once the client chooses his or her color and wood combinations, they make an illustration and send to the client for approval. Each horse, unless specified otherwise, is made from high-quality, sturdy maple. However, if someone wishes a different type of wood, such as beech, oak or walnut, they are happy to meet their needs.
As of February 2nd, this project has raised around $92,000 of their $35,000 goal. This project only has 20 days left to raise as much as it can! For a pledge of $12, you will get the My Wooden Horse special edition coloring book. For a pledge of $45, you will get the My Wooden Horse DIY kit to build your own horse with everything included!

Bright Switch
bRight Switch is a color, touch-screen wall switch that provides simple touch selections for immediate use of lights, security, intercom, Pandora, and Skype. bRight Switch is the next generation of wall technology for homes around the world. bRight Switch installs in a standard light switch wall opening, either alone or alongside traditional switches. The translucent touch buttons are an overlay on the background image of your choice. Select one of the included standard wallpapers, or import your own. In this way the colors used in your home can be matched or complimented as you wish, or a switch can be customized with a seasonal or family picture.
bRight Switch can turn on and off lights at predetermined times, or when you go on vacation, but what makes it impressive is that bRight Switch learns from your routine. bRight Switch stores all the usage data as it learns your habits and your power usage, shutting off lights when you leave and turning them on when you come home. Control your bRight Switches from anywhere you have Internet, via your account on the bRight Switch web site. Android, iPhone, Windows and Blackberry phones, tablets and PC browsers are supported. bRight Switch replaces the light switches in your home with smart, wireless-connected switches which can be used to do everything from dim lights to control music playback, and more.
As of February 2nd, this project has raised around $59,050 of their $115,000 goal. This project only has 7 days left to raise the $115,000 or it will not be funded! For a pledge of $90, you will get the bRight Switch with Bluetooth. For a pledge of $435, you will get five bRight Switchs with Bluetooth.
