| Magic Ring: Wearable Device Lets You Control Gadgets with Gestures Posted: 17 May 2014 08:00 AM PDT
Slide on this ring, wave your hand around in the air and you can change the channel on your TV, skip to the next song on your iPod, control the thermostat or even dim the lights. The Nod may be bulkier than your average ring, but it’s far less obtrusive than other wearable tech like Google Glass, and certainly has more of a purpose than just looking pretty.
Embedded with Broadcom Bluetooth Smart and Nexus-Trellis software, the Nod acts like a wearable universal controller that makes the user look like they’re waving around an invisible wand to control the world around them. The device can interact with virtually anything Bluetooth/WiFi enabled, including Philips Hue lights.
Point at the TV to turn it on, twist your hand to lower the temperature in the room, swipe to browse photos or type notes by moving your finger around in the air. It also works as a controller for games. The Nod’s antenna has a 30-foot range.
Made from jewelry-grade stainless steel, the Nod is available in twelve sizes for a perfect fit, and is waterproof up to 169 feet. It has buttons for those times when you don’t feel like using gesture control, and comes with a little jewelry box that doubles as a charger. Currently available for pre-order, this wearable tech device is surprisingly affordable at $150. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles: |
| Flexible Light Bends to Illuminate the Bottom of Your Bag Posted: 16 May 2014 02:00 PM PDT
Studio Banana Things, the group who introduced the amazingly weird Ostrich Pillow to the world, is back with a fun new accessory you never knew you needed. The Kangaroo Light is a flexible disc-like light that fits into the bottom of your handbag or backpack to help you find what you need.
An included lithium-ion battery powers the 24 embedded LEDs. The light can provide two hours of non-stop power in a number of settings: on, off, flicker, intensity change, and pulse. When the battery runs down, it can be recharged via USB.
The Kangaroo Light isn’t only good for putting in the bottom of your bag. Because it’s so portable and flexible, it can be used anywhere: as a reading light that’s soft enough not to disturb your partner at night, or even when you’re out camping. Just like the Ostrich Pillow before it, the Kangaroo Light is raising money on Kickstarter to fund production. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles: |
