TOP 3 PROMISING AND USEFUL GADGETS RELEASE IN FUTURE
1. Flter :
Flter is a wireless router that provides VPN protection, malicious ad blocking, and anonymity networking. Flter works at the router level so you don’t have to install software on every device you use. We also offer an amazing VPN service for seamless connection across all devices.
Risks and challenges
Coordinating with manufacturers to bring Flter from prototype to production may be challenging. We have prepared for this by speaking with the manufacturing companies we will be using ahead of time to get a clear idea of what the process will be like so most potential issues have already been assessed. Building computer hardware comes with it’s own inherent risks but we have a ready-to-use mould and our suppliers have already been pre-selected. This guarantees we can stick to our planned timeline.
For our backers that require overseas shipping, we promise to deal with international customs in advance so as to provide you with a clear idea of when you will receive your product.
Being clear and precise with our supporters and backers is important to us. We strive to provide top-notch customer service, so please feel free to reach out to us about any concerns you may have and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Suggestions and feedback are welcome too!
2. Makeblock Neuron: An Electronic Building Blocks Platform :
We've been looking forward to this! Makeblock have launched their Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Neuron - An Electronic Building Blocks Platform, a range of programmable modular robotics components.
Makeblock are behind the mBot robot range that we use and recommend. Neuron is looking really interesting. Neuron can be used by beginners as a simple way to create electronics projects and by hobbyists to make useful custom gadgets.
The blocks each have an individual function and connect together using pogo pin connectors. Neuron inventions are powered using a rechargeable power block. The backs of the blocks are magnetic so they can be mounted on a metal surface. Wire blocks give you some flexibility in the placement of the blocks.
There are 30 different kinds of block so there's going to be loads of scope for creating amazing gadgets, contraptions, science projects and tech toys.
The blocks can be used together without an app or for more control they can be programmed. There's a flow-based graphical Neuron app and we're pleased to see that there's also support for the Scratch-based mBlock environment that we use to program the mBot range of robots. There's also an open SDK for integration with other platforms.
You'll be able to connect up to the internet of things to create connected projects and there's also integration with Microsoft Cognitive Services for face recognition and speech recognition.
We're impressed with the range of components which include simple sensors through to a camera, with lots of different ways to create lighting effects and movement.
To start with there are four different kits that bundle up Neuron blocks into themes: Light Wizard Kit, Science Lab Kit, Explorer Kit, and All-in-One Kit. The kits come with 'Idea Cards' with project ideas to get you started.
The All-in-One kit includes one of each type of Neuron block plus multiple of some blocks and accessories.
Neuron can be used with LEGO and can also be used with Makeblock's metal parts. Neuron looks like a great option for maker families.
Makeblock are planning to start shipping Makeblock Neuron in June 2017.
3. Nexpaq :
Google’s Project Ara promises to make your mobile modular, but what if you don’t want to replace your phone? Check out this modular smartphone case instead.
It’s called nexpaq, and it lets you customise, enhance and add features to your smartphone by slotting in new modules to the case. At the moment, there are 12 modules available. Battery Power gives you 90 per cent more juice, so your phone’s battery will last almost twice as long as usual. Amplified Speaker makes your phone louder, while Super LED Flashlight helps you see in the dark. SD Card Reader gives you more storage, and Temperature and Humidity measures how hot something is, so can help diagnose if you have a temperature, say.
Hotkeys lets you set up shortcuts so you can go to the calendar, say, at the touch of a button. USB Flash lets you swap files with people, and Air Quality analyses the air around you. Breathalyser tells you if you’re safe to drive, Laser is a laser pointer, and Backup is a tiny, portable 64GB hard drive. Dummy fills any empty slots you have.
And that’s your lot. Each has their own battery built in, so can extend the battery life of your phone
