An interactive home monitoring owl

Today more and more objects are connected, but none of them truly connects with you. Ulo creates a unique bond, like no other device. It redefines the way you interact with objects: an organic communication. Evidence shows that a number of facial expressions are related to similar emotions across cultures. The language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and effective tools of non-verbal communication. Eye expressions are an efficient, natural and universal way to connect instantly with Ulo.
Ulo needs a working wifi network to be fully functional.



Ulo communicates through eye expressions. A webpage and mobile apps allows you to customize eyes color, shape and size to match your interior and your taste. No logos or icons are displayed on the screens, but you instantly know what Ulo has in mind. 
For instance, when the battery is low (under 10%) Ulo is tired, 
Ulo blinks when you take a snapshot, 
its eyes follow your movements and Ulo squints when someone is watching live video. 
Random animations add that extra spark of life which makes Ulo unique.
Eye expressions are possible thanks to new round LCD screens originally manufactured for next-generation smartwatches.






A double tap on Ulo forehead will activate the Alert Mode.
Once your smartphone leaves your wifi network, every movement will be recorded in an animated gif and sent via email.
Eye expressions are not displayed.
When your smartphone (and thus yourself) reconnects to your wifi network, the alert mode is disengaged.



It is a very simple way to check what is going on in another room or when you’re away. Ulo streams directly on a secure webpage.



Ulo captures snapshots on demand and sends it on a secure webpage, your dropbox account or directly on your email.



In Alert Mode, Ulo can last one week on a full charge. In everyday use, with eye expressions, Ulo needs to be recharged every 2 days. Of course you can also leave Ulo plugged in all the time on a USB port.



Ulo can lay on a flat surface or be hanged on a wall. A set of discrete adhesive neodymium magnet allows you to stick Ulo on every surface effortlessly. Ulo must be placed indoor.



  • Ulo services are accessible on a webpage, so it is compatible with every device with an internet connection and a browser.



  • Dedicated mobile apps for iOS & Android
