The Twist Plus is a charger that debuted on Kickstarter a few months ago. And what makes Twist Plus and its older brother Twist so special? Both have an intuitive design that allows the chargers to adapt to sockets in more than one hundred and fifty countries around the world. Our nightmares caused by various chargers on the trip are finally over.
Mike Eleta created the first kinetic wristwatch, the Timeburner, which strongly resembles an internal combustion engine or its mechanism, and it does not lack the noise that the engine once made. Instead of clock hands, we have an aluminum cylinder, and it is driven by a mechanical movement that the user initiates when winding the spark plug.
One of the main criticisms of Apple's new MacBook is that it only has one USB port, which can be quite inconvenient. But with the brilliant product of the Chinese designer Goglu Jing InfiniteUSB ("infinite USB"), which is good for us on Kickstarter, more than one thread will not be needed to be able to connect several devices to the laptop at the same time. Say goodbye to cumbersome USB hubs.
The Leica company invited one of the greatest rock legends, Lenny Karvitz, to collaborate in the design of the limited edition Leica MP "Correspondent" compact camera. The musician, actor and designer decided on a stylishly sophisticated design that offers a prestigious camera in an artificially aged guise.
The R2-Q5 virtual keyboard is no ordinary virtual keyboard, as it is projected onto the surface by none other than the iconic Star Wars robot that debuted in the franchise in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. It works like a QWERTY keyboard and makes the original chirping sounds of the R2-Q5 robot during the projection. For the less educated, a warning that this is not R2-D2, his more famous "brother". This one has already been in this role and remains only a collector's item.
The Oaxis inkCase 6 is an e-ink display case for the iPhone 6 smartphone. And no, we're not going to call it smart, because that word has been abused a lot lately. But it is probably the smartest piece of plastic that protects another piece of plastic around. It boasts a 4.3-inch e-ink display with a resolution of 480 x 800, which ensures that even the back of the iPhone 6 has its own screen. And not only that, the autonomy of the phone is also extended.
A good half year after Instagram launched its first standalone Hyperlapse app, here's a new one called Layout. It was created for assembling photo collages, which is not new on the application market, but the recognition of the brand and its 150 million "fan club" will certainly help in dealing with the competition (applications Frame Swagg, Pic Stitch, Image Sizer,... .).
With the Blackphone 2 smartphone, no one will be able to spy on you, not even the US National Security Agency (NSA), for whom phones are an "all-you-can-eat" buffet of personal data, because almost any smartphone can be hacked phone and intercepts almost every conversation. But now she ran into a wall again, as the Silent Circle security company presented users with the second generation of "android" Blackphone 2 smartphones, which, among other things, enable encryption of communication through applications.
The prototype of the smart mirror, Smart Mirror, is not the work of any corporation, but of an independent innovator, Nicholas Nothom. It works via a mobile operating system, which otherwise penetrates into all corners of our lives with exceptional speed and through numerous products. He has already jumped from technological toys to everyday objects, and one of the "victims" was a mirror. Smart Mirrot chose Android.
The Blub Uno is a retro "nixie" desk clock made in Australia. Its beautiful, functional and modern design turns checking the watch from a necessity into a pleasant task.
PancakeBot is the first real pancake "printer". The smart pancake batter sprayer makes 3D prints of sketches and bakes pancakes in shapes we usually only dream of. The result is delicious art that is currently fighting for existence on Kickstarter.
Microsoft returns with a fresh vision of the near future, which is also packaged every year in a video entitled Productivity Future Vision, in which it presents its technological favorites of the future. He will somehow play a big role in it, probably bigger than ever, that is, if his predictions, which he summarized in a 6-minute video, come true. It is clear, however, that new technologies are radically changing our everyday life and work. But what does this mean for the future?
