Imagine a trackpad that's more than that. Which is also a tablet, keyboard, piano and electronic drum. And imagine it being so sensitive to touch that you could draw on it with a brush, a real brush, which would turn his strokes into digital art. It sounds a little too utopian, but that's exactly what the Sensel Morph promises, a versatile scrolling pad that can transform into just about any input device you can imagine.

The two biggest problems during video calls are lighting and field of view. The light may be ideal, but it doesn't help you if all you can see is your friend's chin. Because these small problems, which are so typical of video communication, got on the nerves of the team from the Swedish company Frankly, they created the ViW attachment. ViW boasts a dual lens and provides a 50% wider field of view than conventional webcams. It does this without distorting or "distorting" the image in any way.
And you thought keyboards couldn't look sexy?! The company LG Electronics, which, among other things, manufactures excellent peripheral units for computers, has produced a foldable portable keyboard compatible with various operating systems (Android, iOS, Windows Phone), which is exactly that. Folding mobile keyboards are nothing new, but the LG Rolly Keyboard is a different story altogether. Although it is made of silicone, it does not look "artificial" and although it offers a whole set of keys with a relatively high structure, it measures only 25 centimeters.
For the tech-savvy cyclist, there are a number of smart bikes. Unfortunately, not all of them justify the high price, especially when you have a perfectly good bike at home. Fortunately, there is an upgrade that turns such "ordinary" wheels into a SmartHalo device. Based on simplicity and ease of use, Cyclelabs' circular device combines navigation, an alarm system, a bike light and much more.
Lovense, the maker of erotic toys for long-distance relationships (because the only recipe for them is sex), with the smart vibrator Bluch Vibe, which can be controlled via a dedicated app on the iPhone smartphone and Apple Watch smartwatch, is on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo in instant success. The authors emphasized not only the fact that it can be used without hands, but that it can vibrate to the rhythm of the selected music or sounds from the surroundings.
Smart rings are nothing new. It was only a matter of time before the adjective 'smart' would be applied to jewelry, but the Talon smart ring, which is made especially for toys, is a pleasant surprise. This one, like the other smart rings, does not come from a jewelry company, but from the technology company Titanium Falcon. The ring will be able to be used as a controller for computer games, which will further improve the user experience.
Even though Aerius is the smallest drone in the world, that doesn't mean it doesn't have (almost) everything the big ones have. Admittedly, it can't carry action cameras like GoPro's, as it measures all of 3x3x2 centimeters (yes, we weren't kidding about the tip of the finger), but it has impressive specs. In terms of technical and mechanical aspects, it is a completely up-to-date competitor to drones, which are hundreds of times larger. It allows different control modes, has a 6-axis gyroscopic control system, LED lights for night control, four propellers,…
The Boom Swimmer is a waterproof Bluetooth speaker that resembles a sperm. But don't let the suggestive shape fool you. Its shape serves its purpose (you attach it with the tail), it is not just a provocation. The Boom Swimmer is the ideal addition to the action by the water. It is not a big deal if you fall into the water, as it is waterproof according to the IPX7 standard and is just perfect for various outdoor activities. It is available in different colors starting from (calculated) 39 euros.
iScream is a Slovenian ice cream machine that did extremely well on Kickstarter. In two days, he collected one hundred thousand dollars. And what makes iScream so special? The homemade ice cream machine works by leaving its freezing unit in the freezer overnight, and the next day it is put into the machine, the ingredients are added to it, and the machine mixes and cools them. The device, which is capable of preparing two different flavors of ice cream at once, is also very elaborate in design.
The Apple Watch smart watch is naturally waterproof, as it boasts an IPX7 certificate, which means that it can survive in water up to a depth of one meter for a maximum of 30 minutes without damage, but Apple does not recommend this either. That's why Catalyst stepped in, a respected maker of protective iPhone cases that has long been a loyal Apple "security guard". And after iPhones, they have now taken the Apple Watch under their wing and made them truly waterproof (IP68 certificate).
More and more people today are looking for fresher, more organic and more locally produced food, as the desire for a healthy diet is stronger than ever. And it starts with herbs, which are one of those ingredients that we use on a daily basis. Some have them (not fresh) in doses (transparent jars), while others are planted in pots and on the windowsill. Both of them will now easily come up with the Verdure planter, a self-watering pot that aesthetically grows herbs in the kitchen and satisfies both camps.
The TouchJet company has struck again. After they pleasantly surprised us with the TouchPico miniature projector, which can turn any wall into a touch screen, they left us speechless again with the TouchJet Wave device. Like the projector, this is looking for start-up funds on Indiegogo, where it has literally "pomed" the set goal. How not, when every television screen is turned into a touch screen, which becomes a bulky Android tablet for just over 100 euros.
