The project addresses a valid use case (multi-device social audio) but exhibits significant red flags regarding traction and viability. Despite a 2016 launch, the website actively solicits investors to 'complete development,' contradicting the submission's claim that 'most people have used my product.' The reported financial metric ('marketcap: 500000') suggests minimal value creation over a decade. Additionally, the emergence of Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast standards likely renders the proprietary hardware solution obsolete.

Description
Sensonnect is the first company in the world to develop a ubiquitous short-range wireless Social Connectivity Device(TM). A Social Connectivity Device(TM) is defined as a device that supports the concurrent and fair usage of multiple human interface devices (headphones, speakers, touch and motion sensing devices, phones, tablets etc.). The device can support a variety of new mobile and stationary applications including 3-D/ambient/surround/multi-channel audio, multi-channel car radio, hassle-free/instant/high-quality conference calls, mobile gaming/VR, mobile recording, distributed voice assistance (e.g. improved Alexa), mobile intercom, low-radiation wireless hub, high-capacity IoT access-point and more ... Company's vision: Improve people's experience through session-based usage of multiple wireless human interface devices, with the mobile device (or other consumer electronics devices such as access points, sound systems, TV, game consoles etc.) conducting the sessions. We are looking for savvy investors and partners to complete the development of the device and applications to disrupt the wireless connectivity and consumer electronics markets.
