Judging by the number of participants at this year's Oculus Connect VR 2 virtual reality conference, we are moving into virtual reality in 2016. Reality is really too cruel sometimes! Samsung also brought its virtual reality player to the conference, presenting the latest version of the Samsung Gear VR glasses, which are now compatible with more smartphones, including the still warm Galaxy S6 edge+, S6 and S6 edge. The prototype you are looking at is the final version and will be available to customers later this year. Across the pond in November, and shortly after that it will also splash in our vicinity.
Pebble, which nearly took down Kickstarter half a year ago after setting a new record for the crowdfunding portal by raising $1 million in just 30 minutes, is now presenting its first round watch. Although he seems to have no problem convincing customers, now he is also targeting skeptics (read nostalgics) who swear by classic wristwatches with all his guns. If you squint at the offer, it doesn't take long to realize that there is a circular trend. Nevertheless, the first smartwatches were square. But even such popular smart watches as Pebble had to resort to "grandmother's" advice.
Wind farms that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into other types of energy are great. But modern windmills are unfortunately still quite large. The Trinity, however, is different, as it folds into a small cylinder. It is a portable wind turbine with three blades (hence the name) that can be used even with the smallest wind (the wind must blow at a speed of at least 6.4 km/h). It is waterproof and has a battery that can store energy. It comes in different sizes, from the kind you can put in your pocket, to the kind you can put on the roof of your motorhome or in your front garden.
We all know the cries of "phone, phone" when someone pushes us clothed into the water. We all probably took the "first aid course" "How to save a mobile phone if it falls into water" precisely for this reason and because of similar cases. Now you can forget about such worries and live in the moment, as we present Comet, a smartphone that is not only waterproof, but also the first smartphone that floats on water.
Slovenia is a paradise for hikers and cyclists. Its picturesqueness offers something for everyone and, despite its small size, it is criss-crossed with thousands of trails that highlight its beauty. You know many of them, but despite your belief to the contrary, many of them you don't. But this can quickly change with the new free mobile application Hiking and Biking in Slovenia by Slovenian programmers, which is the result of cooperation between the economic interest association GIZ Hiking & Cycling and the Slovenian Tourist Board.
Kickstarter is an online platform where various products and projects of budding creators collect public funds by convincing investors to provide them with funds to start a business. And since there is no recession for ideas even in Slovenia, quite a few brave and optimistic Slovenian individuals or teams went to Kickstarter with their projects. Some were more, others less successful, but this did not stop their business journey. This time, we present the most popular Slovenian projects on Kickstarter, which gained enough supporters and funds to start successful production.
God Chad Kroeger and the Nickelbacks. First they make fun of his looks and their music, recently Avril Lavigne left the singer, whom he married in 2013, and now they will possibly become an app phenomenon, as the Nickelblock app appeared, which with their songs discourages you from would stalk your ex online.
QWERTZ is an arrangement of keys on the keyboard, which has been considered a standard in the world for 140 years. But this type of layout was designed and optimized for typewriters. And while everything around it was changing drastically (screens, computers, phones), the keyboard stuck to its arrangement like a drunkard. At Swiss icoaching, they were convinced that there was a better solution, a keyboard that would answer the challenges of the time, that is, above all, easier typing on the touch screen on smartphones. They wanted to make a keyboard for fast, error-free typing. And Wrio was born, an on-screen keyboard with a honeycomb letter layout.
Ecological awareness can be expressed in different ways. We can separate, use alternative means of transport, save water, or otherwise leave as little carbon footprint as possible. The Slovenian quartet from the green company ECOmp offers an environmental approach through wooden peripheral devices, such as a keyboard and mouse made of bamboo, which in most cases come wrapped in plastic, one of the main pollutants.
The wildly popular photo and video sharing app Snapchat has received an upgrade that is likely to boost its popularity even further. The latest version, which is available for iOS and Android devices, offers a set of tools for selfies (special effects), especially the first in-app purchase (purchase within the application), and Snapchat is also starting to award "ranks".

That's why it's high time to replace your dog's usual dog pendant that hangs on the dog's collar with the smart Dott pendant. At the same time, this is a Bluetooth tracker with which you always know where your dog is.
