4 coolest gadgets
Not everyone is already familiar with the principle of crowdfunding, and that is also normal. It’s still a relatively new concept, but one that can help creative people make a difference. You first support a great idea for a product, and then you can follow the progress until the package arrives at your door. These are the four coolest gadgets on crowdfunding websites.
1. WOOKLE – instant translation solution for 127 languages
For who is it?
For those who often travel to countries where they do not speak the language.
What is it?
The WOOKLE is a handy translation solution that can help users to translate in two directions. You speak into the device’s microphone and the WOOKLE immediately plays the translation in one of its 127 supported languages and supported 56 accents. The WOOKLE reacts after half a second according to the makers and it uses a clear 2W speaker.
So the device works in real time, but it can also translate offline. To do this, you must first install the necessary language packs on the device. In addition, the gadget can also translate texts or translate texts based on a photo you take with its camera function with its companion translation app. Finally, you can also use the WOOKLE to accept phone calls.
- WOOKLE – Kickstarter – 73 euros incl. shipping – expected in April 2023
2. Nitetronic Z6 – anti-snoring pillow
For who is it?
Who do you think for? ZZzzz..
What is it?
Sleep is extremely important, because it ensures that we have the necessary energy for the next day. If your partner snores, it can cause a lot of problems and the solutions that are devised to prevent snoring are not always that nice for the snorer in question.
The Nitetronic Z6 is a comfortable solution. It is a smart pillow that uses algorithms to correctly estimate your head position while sleeping. If your head is in the wrong position during sleep, there is a chance that you will snore. The Nitetronic Z6 then inflates an airbag, so that your head gently tilts to the side and snoring is prevented. When your head is tilted to the side, the pressure in your airway decreases, which automatically stops snoring. The device also has a companion app that analyzes your sleep.
- Nitetronic Z6 – Kickstarter – 237 euros incl. shipping – expected in March 2023
3. Biscuit – upgradeable wireless charger
For who is it?
For those who like to charge their phone or earphones wirelessly
What is it?
Most technology is not made with sustainability in mind, however much the marketing department of tech companies likes to say otherwise. It is difficult to repair smartphones and other electronics, they are often vulnerable and the software also does not last as long as you would like.
It is therefore very refreshing that an entrepreneur has single-handedly developed a wireless charger that is not only incredibly sturdy, but that you can also upgrade with new technology in the long term. The Biscuit is made of Zirconia, which is a synthetic material that is closer to the hardness of diamond than any other material. The Biscuit is therefore very resistant to scratches.
The charger supports wireless charging with a power of 15W, but the maker emphasizes that in time the core of the accessory can be easily exchanged by users so that it supports new versions of the qi standard.
- Biscuit – Kickstarter – 69 euros incl. shipping – now available
3. Ultimatum Bag – the bag that you can carry three ways
For who is it?
For those who like to travel in style and love versatile products
What is it?
Of course you also want to take all those gadgets and technology with you in a handy way. The Ultimatum Bag can be worn as a backpack, a bag on your shoulder or as a briefcase. Furthermore, it has a handy layout with large openings and there is even a hidden compartment on the back. In addition, it is cleverly designed with safety mechanisms to prevent theft. Finally, the backpack also has a solid leather design and comes in three colors.
- Ultimate Bag – Kickstarter – 256 euros incl. shipping – April 2023
Think of this with crowdfunding
Keep in mind that crowdfunding is always primarily supporting an idea, with no real guarantee that the actual product will meet your expectations. So choose the projects and start-ups that you really believe in and follow the regular development and shipping updates that the start-ups communicate. Supporting projects through crowdfunding is therefore not the same as shopping.
