There's now a smart band specifically for Ingress addicts

Take your Ingress further with the Ingress Mod Band based on the new Nex Evolution smart wearable.

If you're into Ingress — the smartphone-based AR game that formed the basis for Pokémon Go — you'll be happy to know that there is now a wearable that works alongside it.

A partnership with Montreal-based wearable company Mighty Cast, whose second-generation "hackable" Nex Evolution smart band is being announced at CES 2017, the Ingress Mod Band allows users to customize actions that automate certain processes in the game.

The foundation is Mighty Cast's Nex Evolution band itself, which adds a number of features to the so-called "IFTTT of wearables". On the Nex Evolution are five programmable touch-sensitive areas, called Mods, that can be programmed using an Android or iOS app to perform various functions, such as taking a picture from your phone or turning on a set of lights. And while the band itself lacks a screen, each of the five Mods has the ability to light up a different color, indication a successful action or a notification. The colors can also be combined to form particular messages as part of Mighty Cast's "When/Do" platform.

Both the Nex Evolution and Ingress-specific Mod Band will go on sale in February for $79.
