Omni-Wearable | Sunglasses with a Docking HD Video Camera
What is it?
The Omni-Wearable are water-resistant sunglasses with an integrated hands-free flip-out 1080P POV video camera.
Why do I like it?
I like Omni-Wearable video sunglasses because they start recording when you flip out the camera. You don’t need to launch an app or fiddle with menus on the glasses. You just flip out the camera on the side of the glasses and that’s it. Flip the camera back and video recording stops.

GoDuo Speakers | Powerful Magnetic Bluetooth Stereo Speakers
What is it?
GoDuo Speakers are magnetic connectable water and shock resistant Bluetooth speakers.
Why do I like it?
It’s tough to stand out in the crowded playing field of Bluetooth speakers, but GoDuo Speakers do just that. They feature a magnetic base that allows you to use the speakers as one portable speaker, two individual speakers, or linked speakers that provide left and right channel stereo sound.

Arckit – Design & Build Your Dream City
What is it?
Arckit is a construction set designed for architects to create buildings and cities.
Why do I like it?
I like Arckit because I like construction sets. You might say that we don’t need another block set because we already have LEGO and Mega Blox. But Arckit blocks are more refined than LEGO. They don’t have the posts that stick out of the top of every brick. Each Arckit building piece has smooth and more realistic surface so that you can create more lifelike models.
Where can I find more info?

ACPD Drum Kit & Game: The Best Way to Learn to Play
What is it?
ACPD Drum Kit is a tiny virtual drum kit for your iOS and Android smartphone or tablet that will help you learn to play the drums.
Why do I like it?
I like the ACPD Drum Kit because it’s another way to turn your smartphone or tablet into an instrument for learning to play and creating music. I’ve always wanted to learn to play drums but I was never motivated enough to spend money on a large drum set. The ACPD Drum Kit looks like a minimalist way to experience drum playing without needing space or a lot of money.
Where can I find more info?

Arsenal, the intelligent camera assistant
What is it?
Arsenal is a module that attaches to a DSLR or mirrorless camera to allow wireless control through a smartphone.
Why do I like it?
I like Arsenal because it’s different from other wireless camera controllers. Arsenal has an AI settings assistant that helps you get the perfect shot every time because it’s been trained on thousands of photos. so it can determine the optimal settings for the scene that you’re shooting.
Where can I find more info?
