A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

-The Concept Behind the Cognito Jr

Reimagining the original Cognito and the concept of having an object to keep one’s hands busy in a more compact form. The Cognito Jr is an easy to carry spinner, a fidget toy, made using precision CNC methods in the USA and assembled with high quality bearings. It is designed to be spun in the hand or on a flat surface, providing those who find the need to fidget a concrete outlet for these habits, while adding a stylish piece of moving art to their everyday collection.
