Kirin
Oct-06-22
How it works is that there is some sort of electricity on the surface of the bowl and spoon that releases ions when the food touches them. There are also metal strips on the tip of the spoon and the edge of the bowl and if you want to experience the full effect, you should eat from these areas. They bring a “pseudo perception” to your tongue that somehow triggers a salt-like taste and there are even four levels of intensity that you can get from these utensils.
Samsung Air Ear Piece
Oct-04-22
There are a few ways that allow you to use your smartphone without touching it, at least for some of the most basic functions. You can command Apple Siri or Google Assistant by voice, or you can tap and swipe on your smartwatch for some functionality that’s available on your wearable. Voice control isn’t always feasible in all situations, though, and not everyone has a smartwatch. A lot of people have Bluetooth earbuds, and those at least let you control music and calls. The range of controls available here, however, is severely limited because you can only map a few taps or even fewer swipes to certain actions.
The Coffee Watch
Oct-03-22
Lilienthal Berlin came up with the Coffee Watch, in an attempt to reduce the amount of waste created every year. Kaffeform uses the waste coffee grounds picked up by bicycle couriers from cafes all over Berlin! The waste is then dried and processed, and prepared for final use. They are then upcycled into an “eco-friendly and traceable” material.
E-Wagon
Sep-30-22
With a foldable design that makes the e-Wagon really easy to travel with, your Outisan opens up to become a spacious 4-wheeled barrow that can hold up to 180 lbs of cargo comfortably. With two brushless motors and battery to power the Outisan, and four rather rugged 7-inch high-density rubber wheels, the Outisan makes it easy to move heavy items across long distances, uneven surfaces, and both uphill and downhill.
The Shield
Sep-28-22
Designed as individual floating stations that could be deployed in large numbers along a coastline, the Shields help collect garbage by using the ocean’s waves to propel trash into their collection chambers. It runs entirely on tidal energy, making it a sustainable zero-emissions solution to our waste problem.
Orbit Mouse
Sep-27-22
Orbit redesigns the mouse not by changing its shape but by changing the way we move it across a flat surface. Instead of simply sliding over a mouse pad, Orbit has three resistance bands that hold the “mouse” in the center. To move the mouse, you have to exert a bit of effort to counter the resistance, which, in turn, shifts the force to other muscle groups, particularly the ones responsible for posture. With this system, the body is forced not to slouch and use those upper body muscles instead of relying on wrist and forearm muscles to move the mouse.
The Puppimily
Sep-26-22
The Puppimily is a touch screen speaker that uses Artificial Intelligence to help out those who may have some visual and aural difficulties because of their age. But it’s more important purpose is to help the elderly deal with the psychological issues of living alone by connecting them with loved ones through the device.
Orbis
Sep-23-22
Orbis takes inspiration from the orbit of heavenly bodies, specifically that of the moon around the Earth. The cylindrical lamp holds a bulb standing as a pillar in the middle. A slider on top lets you direct where the bright light shines and whether it occludes part of the light or not. This is almost similar to how the moon travels across the night sky or how its different phases only show part or all of its face.
Wicked Egg
Sep-21-22
Wicked Egg was designed to be simultaneously a toy as well as a reward system. Made to be deployed when the pet-parent is busy or not at home, the egg holds treats in its upper cavity, and stands vertically thanks to its lower center of gravity. Wicked Egg helps with obedience training by rewarding your pet’s action with treats.
Matte Works Solar Watches
Sep-20-22
Not only are they pretty remarkable wristwatches with an evergreen aesthetic, they also come with solar panels hiding discreetly under the watch dial. These panels pull energy from any light source, be it the sun or artificial interior light. This renewable energy powers the watch thousands of times before the battery on the inside needs to be replaced.
Multi Scoop Pro
Sep-16-22
The Multi Scoop Pro gets its name from being able to scoop up patients instead of having them lifted and placed onto the stretcher. The stretcher splits open laterally, allowing it to be placed on either side of the patient on the ground. When the two halves are brought back together again, they scoop the patient onto the stretcher platform, which can then be lifted and transported to the nearest ambulance. For patients with less serious injuries, the Multi Scoop Pro can simply be folded into a wheelchair, allowing a single medic to transport them while they’re comfortably seated.
Futuristic Toaster
Sep-15-22
Instead of an upright box, the toaster is set at an angle and held up by two legs, one on each side. The main controls are on one leg, mixing analog and digital mechanisms. You have an LCD display that shows the timer or a clock, but you also have a dial for setting the time.
A Smart Screwdriver
Sep-12-22
the SES Max is a state-of-the-art electric screwdriver that can automatically sense direction and torque so all you really need to do is hold the screwdriver while it does all the work. The SES Max sports 5 torque settings including an automatic setting where the screwdriver determines the torque requirements on its own, and has an SMC feature (smart motion control) where the screwdriver automatically picks up on which direction it needs to spin in just with a simple twist of your wrist.
The “Hank” Feed Bowl
Sep-09-22
Designed in a maze pattern to prevent pets from gobbling all of the food up in one go without lifting their head, which can sometimes lead to choking and clogging of their digestive tract. The narrow and small holes that make it a maze can also separate the different kinds of food, if that’s something you or your dog like.
Great Wrap
Sep-06-22
A biodegradable cling film that’s made from discarded potato skins combined with cooking oil and starch from the cassava root (more popularly known as tapioca). Unlike its petrochemical plastic alternative, Great Wrap’s cling film is made from natural materials, and like any biopolymer, breaks down into natural substances much faster than regular plastic. In fact, the Great Wrap can naturally biodegrade in as little as 180 days.
The Parelio
Sep-05-22
The Parelio is a solar-powered beach umbrella that is able to harness the power of the sun to create sustainable energy. The lawn and beach accessory can absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity for things like coolers, mini-refrigerators, phone chargers, and even to power machinery.
Bamboo Headphones
Aug-30-22
Bambass is a concept for an open-back headphone that uses traditional bamboo weaving as a major component of its sustainable material. It is made up mostly of thin coiled bamboo stripes which are not just sustainable but also bring you a more insulated sound.
Cavdle WasteCycler
Aug-29-22
The entirely concealed unit creates the perfect conditions to turn any sort of food waste into rich compost, from food scraps and peels to even bones, cartons, and biodegradable plastics. Moreover, the Cavdle WasteCycler’s built-in air purification system even eliminates the stink.
AeroRondak Chair
Aug-24-22
The AeroRondak Chair has a rather unique form factor that deviates from the bulbous nature of inflatable furniture. It also sports a proper backrest and even wide armrests that can hold drinks thanks to a magnetic fixture for attaching drink-holders. The chair is inherently waterproof, making it perfect for the beach, the poolside, or even outdoors in the rain, and deflates down once you’re done, folding down to the size of a duffle bag that you can then carry with you.
The SUMJet’s Dry Steam
Aug-23-22
Using just dry steam (hot air with a much lower percentage of water molecules), the SUMJet provides a 100% chemical-free way to kill microorganisms, eliminate fungi, dust mites, and bedbugs, and sanitize surfaces. The dry steam also ensures that you can use the SUMJet on wooden surfaces without worrying about moisture ruining your furniture, and you can even use it on clothes, ironing them the way a garment steamer would, but much more effectively and without your clothes getting damp.
