Beam is a wearable smart pin that enables people to broadcast what they care about. Users can change their Beam image as often as they like. The BEAM app enables people to upload single images or dynamic, rotating content, slideshows and GIFs through the company's partnership with GIPHY.
BEAM devices have a round AMOLED screen, with 24-bit color, making the digital device the modern day version of static, analog expression that has been part of pop culture on buttons, hats and t-shirts and wristbands for decades.
BEAM devices are also equipped with a unique safety feature that enables wearers to hold down the button to send a "panic" text message, map link and GPS location to up to four recipients.
