BLOCKS
In a nutshell… it’s the world’s first modular smartwatch.
The strap is made of several modules each with their own function – GPS, extra battery, heart rate, camera, NFC payments, to name but a few. You can pick and choose the modules you want and then connect them together to build a smartwatch with functionality customised to your lifestyle.
BLOCKS will be compatible with both iPhone and Android phones. It’s also an open platform, which means that 3rd parties can create modules, resulting in infinite possibilities.
PhoneDrone Ethos
In a nutshell… it gives your smartphone wings.
…well little propellers to be exact. The PhoneDrone lets your smartphone roam the sky as an aerial camera, at a fraction of the cost of a regular drone
Leaf
In a nutshell… a tiny USB device that instantly boosts your computer’s speed and performance.
Leaf plugs into your computer’s USB port to become a random access memory port. It works by freeing on board RAM for secondary processing, ensuring your computer can process data more efficiently. Making it faster.
Leafs will be available in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, and you can plug a whopping 8 Leafs into your computer at once.
What’s more Leaf also has Android and iOS apps available, so you can improve the performance of your mobile device.
ACPAD
In a nutshell… it turns your guitar into an orchestra.
The ACPAD provides access to 100’s of instruments – drums, bass, piano – as well as sound effects and loops.
It’s a slimline device that sits on top of your existing acoustic guitar. It’s completely wireless and can be easily applied and removed, as and when you need it.
AirBolt
In a nutshell… a smart travel lock.
No keys or crazy combinations needed – the AirBolt simply uses your phone’s Bluetooth to unlock.
Plus, AirBolt also has a crowdsourced GPS network, so if your luggage goes missing at the airport you’ll have help in tracking it down.
