QUIETON 3.1 SLEEP EARBUDS
If standard foam earplugs don’t block out the world and allow you to have a good night’s sleep, the QuietOn 3.1 sleep buds might be your solution to snoozing. The technology inside these compact earbuds uses active noise cancellation that automatically generates opposing sound waves as it detects ambient sound. The two sound waves collide, nullifying their vibrations and cancelling each other out, leaving you oblivious to any surrounding noise. The QuietOn 3.1 triggers its active noise cancellation gradually over 20 seconds to ease you into silent sleep. A pair of these earbuds can last for up to 28 hours on a single charge, and they come in a range of sizes to fit many different ear shapes.
TAPXR
Combining motion and optical sensors, the TapXR gives its wearer the ability to communicate with your smart devices in a whole new way. Through handtracking technology, the TapXR translates tapping into a command that it passes onto a Bluetooth-paired device to carry out a function. Practically any surface can be used to carry out preassigned tap gestures, at a rate of ten gestures per second. From typing out messages to creating shortcuts on your device, there are 150 unique tap commands and actions this wrist-worn device can carry out. As well as smartphones and computers, the TapXR can be paired with VR headsets as a controller to navigate the virtual world.
NOWATCH
The NOWATCH is a smartwatch that focuses largely on monitoring your body’s stress levels through several metrics, including skin conductance, heart rate and breathing rate. Within the companion app, these metrics are collected into a graphic that summarises your physiology so that you can restore balance to your body. Along with tracking your sleep cycle, the NOWATCH works with your smartphone’s alarm settings to gently wake you up during a preset time frame when your body has entered a period of light sleep. Unlike other smartwatches, the NOWATCH doesn’t come with a digital display to showcase the data it’s collected. Instead, all that data is transmitted and stored in the NOWATCH app. Instead of the traditional smartwatch display, this smart accessory can be purchased with an array of modular faces, including an analogue clock, a metal disc or an array of stone discs.
