SensoTRACK, a wearable health and activity monitor
What you are looking at is not some kind of Bluetooth earphone, but it is one of those wearable devices. The SensoTRACK is not one that wears on the wrist like many health trackers, but on the ear, near a temporal artery. So what does it measure? It can do respiration, heart rates, real-time blood pressure reading, and it even detect oxygen saturation in your body. Then … [Read more...] about SensoTRACK, a wearable health and activity monitor
Brazucam is a camera in a soccer ball
With the FIFA World Cup coming up, I would imagine that there are going to be a lot interesting products associated with that. This is what is called the Brazucam, and it involves six cameras put into one soccer ball. This is a 360-degree view of all the action on the soccer field, and I honestly don't really see a reason for it. Seriously, there is a video at my Source, … [Read more...] about Brazucam is a camera in a soccer ball
Diamond Powerball from Dynaflex
If you are not familiar with Dynaflex, then you might want to checking it out. I believe that they are best known for their Gyro Exerciser, and I'm going to do my best attempt to describe what these transparent balls do. The Gyro Exerciser have a rotor inside that you can spin with the help of some string that it comes with. Seriously, you wind up the string, yank it, … [Read more...] about Diamond Powerball from Dynaflex
H2O Pal connects your smartphone with your water-bottle
While I was in Vegas, I was able to find an entire after-event that was devoted to nothing but Bluetooth. I have mentioned before that everyone and their dog seemed to have a body monitor of some type, but the H2O Pal, which I discovered on the aforementioned Bluetooth after-event, links a water bottle with a smartphone. Yeah, I honestly do not know if this has ever been … [Read more...] about H2O Pal connects your smartphone with your water-bottle

Golf-X-Cube will help improve your game
I'm going to start this review and say that I am probably not the audience that would want this product. I think we all know that people who golf are like those who like Doctor Who. that is, you have heard about it, but don't want to get into it, and might not understand those who are into it. I am the type who has heard of golf, never saw any need to get into it. Since … [Read more...] about Golf-X-Cube will help improve your game
Stir Smart Desk will help you burn calories
The other day, when I was talking about the company Nest creating a Smoke Detector, and how everything should be smart in the home. I suppose that the desk would soon become the smartest thing. This is a smart desk called the Stir. If you are wondering what makes it smart, it has to do with the ability to raise itself. The purpose of this height thing is to give the user … [Read more...] about Stir Smart Desk will help you burn calories

Rubbee makes an ordinary bike an electric one
I have never used an electric bike before, but I believe that they would be quite useful when you don't feel like pedaling anymore. This Rubbee (which I assume is pronounced like "ruby") allows the user to turn their ordinary bike into an electric one (just like the title says). The Rubbee is a Kickstarter project, and it is supposedly able to connect to the bicycle in a … [Read more...] about Rubbee makes an ordinary bike an electric one

Adidas Springblade could change the running game
Adidas has recently created the Springblade, which is a shoe that has angled "blades" that put kinetic energy forward, so you will have a "more efficient stride". Apparently, these blades instantaneously react to any environment, to compress and release energy for a push-off. I can't help but wonder if it will be awkward for first time users, but hey, I think it is just … [Read more...] about Adidas Springblade could change the running game
Newgy’s Robo-Pong would easily please Forrest Gump
Every once in a while, I see some ad before a YouTube video or some other streaming vid and think: "now that is article-worthy". I have no idea how Newgy's Robo-Pong got to be an ad on the video I was watching, but I'm glad that I saw it. I have no idea if Newgy's Robo-Pong is really new, but it feels like something that we could have invented decades ago. After all, we … [Read more...] about Newgy’s Robo-Pong would easily please Forrest Gump

This is because the SwingTIP can sync to a an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth, and you can … [Read more...] about Hands on with the SwingTIP
