Bagel: The World's Smartest Tape Measure


Bagel is a digital tape measure that helps you measure, organize, and analyze any size measurements in a smart way.

Bagel is the only tape measure you will ever need. With three different measuring modes, Bagel lets you measure just about anything.
It can also save measurements, record voice memos, and send data to its mobile app, where you can easily organize and analyze your measurements. That’s why we call Bagel a smarttape measure.

We all measure size in our daily lives. Whether it’s for a DIY home improvement project or for measuring body size, everyone uses a tape measure. 
Despite the various uses for a tape measure, the way we measure size has remained the same for more than a century. It’s about time that we stop trying so hard to read tiny numbers and markings on tape measures.









LIGHT STAX - Toy bricks meet LED


LIGHT STAX are LED bricks. Fully compatible with LEGO® and other brands. Light up your play and make your brick world come alive!

What is a house without lights, a car not able to blink or a lighthouse with…well just dark bricks? LIGHT STAX brings LED light into the world of bricks like LEGO® and MEGA BLOKS®. Each brick contains a powerful LED. You can use them to build imaginative light creations and you can also use them to light up your own collection of building blocks. LIGHT STAX comes in a wide range of both solid and transparent colors. They work without wires and have multiple lighting modes, but it can also be used with extension cables. Just imagine the possibilities!

LIGHT STAX is part of the STAX system family and will continue to surprise. The first born was a bigger version of LIGHT STAX (JUNIOR). They were launched in 2014 as LED building bricks on DUPLO® scale. The new smaller offspring will include exciting items like SOUND STAX, SENSOR STAX, MOTOR STAX and more. All of these will become available as fully compatible 2x4 and 4x4 stud bricks. We may also develop other LIGHT STAX brick sizes. Let us know what kind of LIGHT STAX you would like to see as we take your feedback very seriously!
As a stretch goal (when reaching €50,000 in pledges) we will finalize the development of SOUND STAX. With SOUND STAX you can record and play real sounds. So, do you want to have a brick dog that barks like your own, a brick car with the sound of a real Ferrari or a brick figure that sounds like your biggest hero? Then hop on the STAX train and extend your brick world.

TwinPole by PRO-mounts, the only 2in1 Pole for your GoPro

by Mike

GoPro Extension Pole, Compact, Strong, Anodized Aluminum, Floating Grip, Bobber, Reach, versatile, GoPro handler , Lifetime warrenty.

About this project
Being an extremely pro-active GoPro user for over 7 years I now placed my heart & soul in creating innovative gadgets and mounts to make use of my GoPro the best possible way during my travels. Alongside being an extensive user I also opened a GoPro webshop where we sell more than 250 different GoPro and other Action Camera accessories.
We offer more than 50 different products from world famous brands such as GoPro, PolarPro, GoPole, SP Gadgets and more. In addition to this we also sell the Chinese versions. Using this extensive experience and knowledge we realised one product was missing: something that would combine everything you need in 1 product: an Extension Pole + Floating Grip combo.
With this in mind our company started working over a year ago. Slowly we began to evolve a serious product. Simplicity was the key we always kept in mind. We are well aware that people who own an action camera want to travel light - everything should fit in one backpack.
So to decrease luggage space and improve versatility we produced the TwinPole. Everybody likes to be his stick as compact as possible - during the action, travelling, or on the way to a party. You have just 1 product: an extremely high quality extendable pole including grip, which you can use in all situations. The floatable hand-grip is detachable, by simply unscrewing it you can use it as a Bobber for filming closeby. This way  the user has two high-quality products in one.

Nura: Headphones that learn and adapt to your unique hearing

by Nura

Headphones with in-ear and over-ear design that automatically tune to your unique hearing profile in 30sec. Hear and feel every note.

We’re living in a golden age where masterfully crafted, recorded and engineered music is at our fingertips. But the journey of music doesn’t end at the smartphone. The journey completes with you, the listener.

Nura is a new headphone that integrates unique soundwave technology to automatically measure your hearing (from the outer ear all the way to the brain) and adapt music perfectly to you. In order for headphones to deliver the right sound, they must be matched to the listener. Nura even recognizes you when you put them on.






Lumi Flush


Automatically sterilize your bathroom every time it is used!
One of the germiest places that we touch multiple times a day in our homes is the toilet flush handle, it has 83 different germs per square inch.

Through a process called aerosolization, every flush of the toilet sends watervapor consisted of contaminants such as intestinal bacteria 20 feet into the air

It Has Multiple Uses!


Ultraviolet light is proven technology that kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, virus; it’s approved by the FDA, used by hospitals as a disinfectant, also to sterilize medical instruments, hospital rooms, medical packaging, water treatment facilities, food processing plants, hotels for housekeeping, vacuum cleaners, UV-C wands to kill dust mites on mattresses. Automatic robots to disinfect counter tops, inside of shoes to kill bacteria that cause odors, and increasingly in home products like toothbrush sterilizers. The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends UV light sterilization.




Photon - World's First Robot Which Grows With Your Child



Photon is the first robot that develops together with your child. It makes a child's first steps into the world of technology!

Children love to learn by experimenting. Acquiring logical thinking ability is the key to success in their future life. Playing with most of educational toys feels like a chore and gets boring quickly. And that’s why we decided to build Photon.

STORYTELLING DRIVEN LEARNING ► Photon’s story motivates children to gain knowledge while keeping them engaged in a fun tale similar to popular comic books and cartoons.
DAILY CHALLENGES ► The robot gives kids programming related challenges. After coding simple programs, Photon can perform hundreds of tasks and show living proof of how lines of code affect reality.
FREEDOM OF CUSTOMIZATION ► Finishing challenges awards experience points known from RPG games. Children can use them to unlock new senses for the robot or boost his parameters according to their taste. No two robots will be the same!
PAIRED MOBILE APP ► Photon is integrated with an intuitive child-friendly application for smartphones and tablets that lets kids interact with their robot and create their own programs.

EASILY DIGESTIBLE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE ► The language used by Photon is based on colorful blocks and inspired by Scratch and Google Blockly. Even a 6 year old can master it in no time.






WAVES Nx – 3D AUDIO ON ANY HEADPHONES


Waves Nx is the first application to bring personalized 3D sound to any pair of headphones.

About this project
With Waves Nx, music, movies and games can be heard in a revolutionary way, as they take on a new dimension of immersive 3D reality. And it all happens inside the headphones you already own.

Immersive 3D Audio on Any Headphones   
Waves Nx is an application that you install on your desktop computer or mobile device. Once the application is installed, Nx recreates – on any set of headphones – the same three-dimensional experience as listening to sound in the real world.

Head Tracking   
Waves Nx personalizes the 3D audio experience to your physical movement in space by tracking your head movements wherever you go. Nx does this using either your computer’s camera or the Nx Head Tracker, a compact Bluetooth device that latches on to your headphones and follows your head movements in all directions.

True Surround Sound on Any Stereo Headphones   
With Waves Nx, you can hear true 5.1 and 7.1 surround on your regular stereo headphones. Your ordinary headphones become a surround sound system, even if the movie you’re watching or the game you’re playing were not originally mixed for surround.
The perception of spatial three-dimensional sound in the real world is a rich and complex phenomenon. It combines the interactions between the acoustic soundwaves and the room or space we’re in; the interaction of the soundwaves with our head and ears; and finally the way our brain interprets these acoustic interactions.   
The perception of sound over regular stereo headphones is a completely different – and much more limited – experience. Here are a few crucial differences:

“Crosstalk” between Your Left and Right Ears
When you listen on headphones, left and right are completely separated. Whatever comes out of the left side of your headphones, you hear only through your left ear. Whatever comes out of the right side, you hear only through your right ear.
But that’s not the way you hear sound in the real world. In the real world, you hear everything through both ears – with a little time delay between them. This helps your brain construct a three-dimensional acoustic image of the space around you.   

Reflected Soundwaves
In the real world, the direct sound coming from the audio source is not the only thing you hear. You hear both the direct sound and the ambient sound reflected from the walls and the other physical objects around you. Your brain uses information about the different volume levels, times of arrival, and directions of these reflected soundwaves in order to construct a three-dimensional acoustic image of the space you’re in.
On headphones, none of this happens. You only hear the direct sound sent straight into your ear, and there is no indication of how it interacts with the three-dimensional environment around you.   

Why Head Movement Matters
In the real world, even the slightest nudge to your head causes the complete audio scene to change, because the external world is not moving with your head. Your brain, being sensitive to change, remembers where the sound used to be and where it is now, combines this with its knowledge that your head (and not the source) has moved, and uses all this info to locate the source of the sound in your three-dimensional environment.
When we listen on headphones, the audio scene constantly moves with the head, again causing the experience of sound to be less realistic, less immersive, less three-dimensional.   
So what difference does all that make to your listening experience?

When you hear sounds in the real world, you hear a full, rich, realistic sound environment. 

Thanks to the “crosstalk” effect between your left and right ears, the ambient reflections, and the adjustment to your physical movement through space, what you hear is a full landscape of sound, a full 3D soundscape.
