Opter Pose is a new smart necklace

opterWearable technology has been rather limited in its functionality and form factor for two obvious reasons: a whole lot of things that the average smartphone is able to deliver, and also the lack of a powerful battery in a small form factor to deliver a multi-functional wearable device. The Opter Pose would like to offer a new take on the wearable technology market, being a brand new smart necklace that will launch as an Indiegogo project this October 3rd. The Opter Pose prides itself in being a fashionable alternative to the basic plastic wristband, so much so that Forbes has even deemed it to be “the new must-have in wearable tech.”

The Opter Pose comes across as a designer unisex necklace and clip, where it will be able to vibrate gently should you be slouching for a far longer period than you are supposed to, being a good reminder for you to remain confident while standing tall. Being different from other kinds of posture-correcting devices, the Opter Pose boasts of a battery life that is able to go beyond the seven day period, now how about that for longevity? Not only that, it also features a bunch of other functions that can be accessed via its companion smartphone app.

UV sensing capability will let it monitor the amount of time spent in the sun, while the presence of blue light sensing enables it to recommend different light levels so that you can be at your productive best all day round, as well as getting the right kind of sleep quality. Other that that, it is also able to track your steps, amount of exercise taken in, and sleep quality, helping to reduce sedentary time by intelligently reminding you to move if you’ve been still for too long. It should retail for $120 when released commercially.

SMALT is a smart salt dispenser

smaltIn this day and age, there are smart homes, smartphones, and even smart cars, so what happens when the world of technology collides with an everyday item in the kitchen or dining table? Why, you end up with Herb & Body’s SMALT, of course. SMALT is touted to be the first interactive centerpiece and smart salt dispenser in the world, where it has been specially designed to enhance the dining experience.

Who would have thought that something as ordinary as a salt dispenser will end up getting some “brains” to truly make the 21st century a very special one? Sporting a stylish design, it has integrated mood-lighting that will help set the tone for the meal, as well as sport a built-in Bluetooth speaker that can play back the music of your choice. SMALT is capable of setting the perfect ambiance regardless of where you are, where it dispenses measured amounts of salt either manually or through “shake,” “pinch” or “pour” gestures. These gestures will work in tandem with the free companion app that is available on iOS and Android platforms.

Apart from that, users are able to dispense salt through Amazon Alexa integration, which makes this the ideal tool for folks who need to watch their diet through the monitoring of salt consumption. Being an Indiegogo campaign, SMALT will retail for $99 apiece as a limited early bird special, which is a 50% discount off the regular retail price.

Bipan Singh, founder, Herb and Body shared, “One of the most basic human needs is the need for belongingness. For centuries, one of the ways we have fulfilled this need is by gathering around the dinner table, a place where we connect, appreciate and feel appreciated. SMALT is our effort to further enhance this experience – all with the important benefit of watching your salt intake.”

cnct reveals the intelliPLUG

intelliplugThe intelliPLUG’s claim to fame is being the smallest and most affordable smart plug in the world. Yes, you read that right. It looks like the whole world is moving towards having a smart home and a smart office, so it would also make perfect sense if a smart plug is part of the corresponding setup as well. Enter the intelliPLUG from cnct — where it will help your house become a smart home for the fraction of the cost, all the while offering one the ability to enjoy control of any plugged-in device directly from a phone or tablet.

Being part of an Indiegogo campaign at the moment in order to fund the product’s final development phase, we do hope to see the intelliPLUG end up as reality. It will be Wi-Fi-enabled so that this smart plug will allow users to control their lights, appliances and any “plugged-in” device directly from their phone or tablet, regardless of where they are as long as there is a decent Internet connection in the vicinity.

intelliPLUG will boast of full iOS, Android and Amazon Alexa functionality, enabling users to turn on/off plugs, set timers for devices as well as schedule plugs to turn on/off automatically. Those who manage to be an early bird for the intelliPLUG will have to fork out a mere $19.99 for a 2-pack purchase, which is half the price off the recommended retail price. Even at the full retail price, it will cost less than half of what the other more established brands are selling for.

Not only that, it comes with a quick three-step setup process, where all users need to do is to simply plug the intelliPLUG into any electrical outlet, download the cnct app, pair the plug with the app, and you’re good to go. It takes less than a minute, and the user can then virtually gain control of any “non-smart” appliance without missing a beat. Not only that, the intelliPLUG is small, attractive and will be able to blend in with any home environment.

NuAns NEO is a customizable Android 7.1 Nougat smartphone

nuans-neoWhile many of the newer smartphones which are released these days happen to arrive with Android 7.0 Nougat right out of the box, or even the newer iterations in the form of Android 7.1 Nougat, most of these happen to hail from reputable manufacturers, what about an Indiegogo project that might just blow your mind away? Enter the NuAns NEO, which is now available on Indiegogo, which is set to sport Android 7.1 Nougat as the operating system of choice the moment you unbox it.

The NuAns NEO happens to hail from Trinity Inc., where it has re-emerged full of upgrades and improvements. Something tells me that there is a very “Matrix-like” theme to this, and prior to running on Android, it used to rely on the Windows 10 operating system from Microsoft. With this, Android users are now able to experience the NuAns NEO, without having to forgo the wide range of applications that the Android Marketplace has for users.

Expect the all new NuAns NEO to be powered by a 3,540mAh capacity battery that is supposedly able to deliver a whopping 23 hours of talk and 335 hours of standby time. Of course, all of these figures are theoretical and under controlled conditions, do expect real life usage to see a lower mileage, but it should still be adequate enough to last you throughout the day with some more juice left to spare. Underneath the hood lies Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 ability, a microSD memory card slot that offers up to 1TB of storage space, Sharp’s 5.2-inch Full HD display at 428 ppi pixel density, and a choice between TONE and FLIP cases. A whole lot of it is shaped to pit itself against other bigger and more notable brand names, and if you would like to try out something that is unique, the NuAns NEO might be just the one for you.
