Swiss watches are a concept of accuracy and a Swiss landmark, so it was only a matter of time before one of the local manufacturers decided to make a smart watch. Perhaps surprisingly, this is not Swatch, but fashion watchmaker Mondaine. Helvetica No. 1 is therefore an apt name for a smartwatch that looks more like the classic, analog watches the Swiss are known for than smartphones, as is common practice.
iReadyO is a portable radio or iPhone case with a retro design inspired by Braun's TP1 transistor from the mid-1950s. It works by using previous iPhone models, which serve as a "tuner" for the case, equipped with control buttons, an additional battery and speakers. At the same time, it solves the question of where to go with the old phone in an elegant way. In this case, the second spring awaits the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S, but only if the project succeeds on Kickstarter.
Moggles is a new headset for virtual reality, where you move with the help of a smartphone, which, like a cassette in a Walkman, is inserted into a device that resembles swimming goggles. Hence the name, which is a combination of the words "goggles" and "mobile". It is compatible with any smartphone that does not have a screen larger than 5.5 inches, and relies on their technology (sensors, internet and processor). He is looking for his "patrons" on Indiegogo.
The Pebble Time smartwatch promises an incredible 7 days of battery life, beating competitors like the Apple Watch, LG Watch Urbane,... by days! Unlike most smart watches, it does not use a touch screen, but e-paper, i.e. a screen with the contrast of paper, which consumes very little energy. Although it has barely started its Kickstarter campaign, it already exceeded the goal of 500 thousand dollars in 20 minutes, and after an hour the number jumped to two million.
The XOO Belt is no ordinary belt, as it not only prevents your pants from falling down, but also prevents your smartphone from running out of battery. Both can be inconvenient, but we're not as used to carrying a charger around as we are to wearing a belt. With the XOO Belt, which looks like a normal belt (with black or brown leather), you'll have it on you all the time and you'll be able to charge on the go, independent of sockets.
The Neptune Duo smartwatch took a different tack than most smartwatches. While most are subordinate to smartphones or their assistants, the situation with this Android watch is just the opposite. We get it in a set with a phone with a 5-inch screen, which is just an interface and thus much less smart than smartphones. That's why it's so much smarter. But the phone is not only an extended arm of the latter, but also a charger where the watch can "tap" its battery.
Smart glasses Sony SmartEyeglass was introduced by Sony last September, and in March 2015 these multimedia smart glasses with the label Developer Edition will only be available for the first buyers. After the withdrawal of Google's Glass glasses, they will have no real competition, and they will hit you in the pocket for 670 euros. For this, you will get augmented reality, which will work in connection with your smartphone.
Mattel introduced its famous View-Master stereoscopic toy more than three-quarters of a century ago (1939), but today it is returning to children's rooms, as the world-famous toy manufacturer has, with the help of Google, upgraded it to the extent that the former 3D display images using color filters instead of virtual reality display. Goodbye playgrounds.
LG is betting a lot on smart watches, otherwise it wouldn't have introduced its third model in a relatively short time. The LG Watch Urbane, like the G Watch R and the diametric opposite of the Apple Watch, is a classic watch in appearance, but in reality, the heart of Android is hidden under the dial. LG is not sending a unisex model to the market, as it will be available in gold and silver, as it counts on both sexes equally.
The first thing you notice about the Scout security system and home alarm is its clean, modern design. The motion sensors, central base and door and window sensors are simple and visually unobtrusive. The security alarm system for the home works via the Scout iOS application, and its connection across rooms ensures quality protection. With this kind of alarm, you will not only be safe, but also quite "geeky".
Where's Wallet is a smart wallet that you won't lose. Well, fortunately, we rarely lose our wallets, but that's why we often forget or store them. But while we can call the phone or use an app for that, that doesn't come into play when looking for a wallet. Well, if we correct ourselves immediately. That's where the Where's Wallet comes in, a classic but smart sensor wallet that's raising startup funds on Kickstarter.
