AMAZON ECHO DOT
SAMSUNG GEAR 360

Great VR needs great content. The Gear 360 shoots using two 195-degree cameras,
then stitches together near-4K quality images, viewable on Samsung’s Gear VR
headset. Video recording comes full circle.

Amazon’s Echo the size of a hockey puck: That’s Echo Dot. The
voice-activated assistant still answers queries, spins Spotify, and
summons your Uber. But it’s got a new trick: support for wired
or Bluetooth speakers.

FIX IT STICKS

Midcommute bike repairs are no fun, and
few of us carry the tools needed for a
quick fix. Fix It Sticks are a tiny multitool
with various-size screwdriver bits. It's
foldable T-shaped handle fits in your
pocket, so you’ll never get stuck again.

URBANEARS HELLA
What’s a commute without proper cans? A cord and in-line
remote is replaced by Bluetooth, and a discreet ear touchpad
lets you pick a song or change volume. Keep the party going.

RINGLY ARIES

Wearables don’t all look like tiny
computers. Ringly’s smart bracelet
riffs on the company’s ring idea.
The Aries collection’s striking gold
band wraps around your wrist and
offers a step tracker, in addition to
vibrate and a notification light.

ROOST SMOKE-DETECTOR ALARM
BATTERY
Make your old smoke detector smart. The
Roost plugs into any off-the-shelf model and
sends alerts to your smartphone if the alarm
rings or when the battery gets low.
