You can enjoy these scenes from around the world in 4K ultra-high resolution. Together with true-to-life sound, you will feel like you are really there. Each looped video lasts around 15 minutes, and only costs about 5 dollars (ten fixed views are installed initially). Every month our dedicated videographers shoot new scenes, so the choice only gets bigger. Upload your own videoOf course, you can also upload your own videos. Not only can you relive that unforgettable time, but you can share it with your friends and family. A nostalgic place, or that once-in-a-lifetime journey. It’s nice to be able to bring it to life again in your own home. Join three windows together in a PanoramaJoin three Atmoph Windows together to make a synced Panorama. A fish can swim along from left to right, a boat can take off from the port from one side, and head out to see on the other. An even more impressive scenery for your room. Maybe even try out different scenes on each window. Live StreamingSee what’s going on in the world in real time. We plan on increasing the number of camera spots, so you can enjoy the ‘now’ from locations across the world. Change your Frame to suit your interiorYou can choose from high quality resin frames in five different colors, or a supreme quality timber frame that has been made to bring out the inherent warmth of genuine wood. This wooden frame has been custom made by Japan’s premier long-standing traditional wood furniture maker, Karimoku. An even more real window, while maximizing the potential of everything a window could be Atmoph Window 2 has all the best qualities of a real window, with all the excitement of a smart window. What does a window do for you? Bring in light, space, breeze, show you what’s going on outside? By including various additional modules such as the Camera Module, Atmoph Window 2 can even do things that normal windows can’t. Now THAT is a window of the future! Camera Module Face-View Follow: Changes the angle of the view to fit the position of your faceWith the Camera Module option, Atmoph Window 2 can track the position of your face using the camera, so it knows what angle you are looking at your window from. The scenery changes accordingly, making your view look even more real, more three dimensional. It also becomes an indoor cameraNot only that, but with the Camera Module, you can check the inside of your home even when you aren’t there. Want to see how your pet’s doing? Your smart phone can turn into a small window that allows you to glimpse inside your home when you never could, up until now. LED Light ModuleOne of the best things about a window, is it brings in light. With Atmoph Window 2, attach the LED Light Module and it's just like having that light stream in. Not as bright as the sun, but just enough to help your pot plants grow. How about relieving that stress with an indoor garden? Linked to your smart speakerYou can also operate your Atmoph Window 2 through your smart speaker, change the view or adjust the volume. Don’t want to get off the couch? Got your hands fully tied? Just tell your Google Home ‘Hey, Google, change the view to Hawaii’, and the view will transform into a tropical paradise. Brighten your mood in just one moment. The entire frame vibrates as a speaker. Sound that goes to the next level.The sound quality of Atmoph Window 2 has evolved to the next level, by replacing mono speakers with stereo speakers. An increase in the number of interior speakers from one to two also means you can enjoy more surround sound. Moreover, Atmoph Window 2 is equipped with a vibration speaker, turning the entire screen into a sound experience. From high pitched birds to the thunder of the Niagara Falls, everything sounds truly real. Listen to your favorite music, maybe?Seeing as we have worked to give you true sound quality, maybe you’d like to listen to your favorite music? With Bluetooth or Spotify, you can choose your playlist together with whatever view you like. Enjoy your “me time” to the fullest. Know your day at a glanceIt’s your busy morning, and you want to check the time, the weather, the news. Atmoph Window will tell you what you need to know. There is no need to have multiple devices any more. You can check everything, at a glance. With Google Calendar synchronizing, you can confirm your work and your family’s schedule, and it’s so big and easy to see. Now that’s convenience! Come across a new view, begin a new journeyYou might think ‘I want to go there!’ and with your Atmoph Window, you can book a trip to the other side of the window, any time! Choose your operating method, we’ve made it simpleFrom the smartphone app, to the remote control and sensor, and even automatic scheduling, there are multiple ways to operate your Atmoph Window 2. Decoration: Try them out, see what suits your lifestyle. You can even change the inside frame of your window. Adjust it to suit the view, or there are different Decorations to suit the season. Feel like you are at a Halloween party, inside a plane, how about on the ISS! Beautiful fabric cableWe tried to make Atmoph Window 2 as simple as possible. We even tried to eliminate the power cord so that it feels more like a real window, but with current technology standards, this proved to be infeasible. So we installed a high-quality fabric cable that won’t interfere with the decor. Its soft ivory color can fit with any wall. Also, the cable can come out from backside too in case you want to hide it inside the wall.

Android + iOS Felik Is in ProductionWe spent over 3 years developing Felik. At this point we have already created and shipped our first batch of roughly 500 devices to users around the world. We have deployed mobile apps to both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and have been releasing firmware updates.TeamWe've learned a lot from producing and fulfilling our first batch of devices. This will be our 2nd production run and we will re-use all of our tooling and suppliers. The goal of this campaign is to make some assembly optimizations, streamline supplier logistics, and offload more of the assembly to our manufacturing partner.Even though we have done this before, the timeline may be slightly impacted by shipping (ocean freight can be unpredictable) and supplier delays. Our timeline is conservative and attempts to account for that.Since we will be transitioning partial assembly off to our manufacturing partner, so a bit of time will be spent making sure the devices are assembled correctly. Final assembly and quality checks will be done in Seattle, USA.
Donate NowOverviewThe first of her kind, Caia illuminates your home with real sunlight. She’s a smart robot that finds and redirects natural light for you. Caia remembers where to send the sunlight and keeps it there all day as the sun moves. You can place Caia anywhere with no installation and she will brighten your home or office with sunshine.Caia is a smart natural lighting robot that brightens up your home with real sunlight, sending the sun where you need it most - all day long.Just set her in a sunny spot inside or out, point in the direction you want to light, and Caia does the rest. And you never need to plug her in or recharge because she’s solar-powered! UPDATE: Production Has Begun! Production and preliminary delivery have begun! We are now going through final fixes with the help of feedback from our earliest supporters (including custom part color, as you can see in the photo on the left). Most of us spend over 90% of our lives inside. Some have the privilege of sunny homes but many of us don’t have enough natural light during the day to day.Winters can cause seasonal depression and cold weather often lasts longer than we’d like. Who wouldn’t want to boost their Vitamin D and serotonin levels with more sunlight?The trade off of living in a big city is having to rent small apartments where there just isn’t enough natural lighting and we don’t have the option to install skylights or solar tubes.Interior designers suggest lots of decorating tricks to brighten dark rooms, from using vibrant paint colors to even more artificial lighting, but nothing can beat real sunlight.We love growing plants indoors but we don’t always have the natural light available for them to thrive in certain areas of our house. That herb garden you’ve always wanted doesn’t have to be out of reach. Caia is a long-term, low-maintenance solution for bringing real sunlight into your home. No installation, no construction, no supervision necessary — a powerful, cost-effective solution to your low-light problem.And don't forget Caia's Universal Mount! Our Universal Mounting System makes Caia easier to use than ever before. With wall, balcony, and pole configurations, you can place Caia exactly where you need her. Maybe one Caia is not enough to solve your home's illumination problems? Maybe your room is too large, or you simply have too many rooms to light up with sunlight. We've got this! This is why we created the Caia 3-pack, order two Caia's and get one FREE so you can enjoy three times more sunlight at a reasonable cost to you. Redeem and enjoy! Caia’s elegant design has an expert Italian eye behind the aesthetics. Clean, minimal and won’t detract from your home decor. Great engineering never looked this good. Who makes Caia special? Our incredible robotics engineering team, of course! With experience at the European Space Agency, Singularity University, and Cambridge, they are working day and night on Caia so she's ready to illuminate your home or office. Beta testers seeing Caia’s magic for the first time. Wow. Our beta testers have nothing but incredible things to say after watching their homes and workspaces transformed. Caia constantly takes light intensity readings using her sensor array, or ‘pointer’. Once you aim the pointer where you want to redirect sunshine, Caia's proprietary algorithm uses the light intensity values to position her motorized mirror at the correct angle to illuminate your chosen destination. As the light source (aka the sun) moves through the sky, Caia makes micro adjustments to the mirror position to maintain the perfect angle of reflection that keeps the natural light flowing to the same place all day. And the best part…the sunlight she reflects also powers her. No external energy source required! Last but not least, she was designed with a foldable design that allows for easy, inexpensive shipping. And who doesn't like to pay less for shipping?What about the Universal Mounting System? This part of the design is an add-on but feels like a natural extension of the core Caia design. Safety was our first and foremost focus while developing the design and our Mechanical Engineers spent months crafting out the best and safest mechanical solution. Through a combination of clever mechanics and robust materials, we think we did it. Caia has come a long way, from our earliest proof-of-concept (that was bright red!), to our 1.0 working prototype and now to our beautiful 2.0 Caia re-design. The truth is that when manufacturing a new and innovative product, there are many challenges and some risks going into mass production, which may impact anything from production timing and cost, to final design.The Solenica team is currently at the Design For Manufacturing (DFM) stage with Caia 2.0. After collecting feedback post-campaign from hundreds of backers on our original Caia 1.0 design, we worked heads down for three straight months to re-design Caia so that she would fulfill our customers' needs. We kept her original functionality perfectly intact - better, in fact, because she is now much more accurate in her pointing - while addressing some of the concerns on weathering, range of motion, and shipping that our backers had shared with us.Now, part of the DFM stage on Caia 2.0 is improving every piece, down to her last gear, to make her perform best. Additionally, we will need to develop custom molds and tooling for the pieces that are unique to Caia and cannot be commoditized. With a custom mold, it can cost the same to make one hundred Caia's as it would several thousand!That's why we've come to Indiegogo. As a crowd-funding platform Indiegogo allows us to interface with incredible early adopters like you. Pioneering consumers who are willing not only to back a product, but also give support to the project and its mission. Without the help and support of our indiegogo backers it would have been impossible for us to get all that precious feedback that led to Caia 2.0! For us, Indiegogo is about building a community of enthusiasts who believe in our mission to create intelligent, accessible products that transform the power of our indoor spaces, ultimately empowering people to live better lives. What is Caia 2.0?After our original Indiegogo campaign in Fall 2016 we got as much input from our backers as we could. We realized the original Caia design needed to be more flexible, so our amazing engineering team put all of their time and effort into developing a design that would truly reflect the needs of our customers. Introducing Caia 2.0! Our new and improved Caia design boasts a wider range of angles to redirect sunlight, metal instead of plastic housings for better outdoor durability, no external sphere, a reflective mirror made of safety glass, a more accurate sensor for pointing Caia, a foldable design that lowers shipping costs, and an even more beautiful look and feel (at least, in our opinion). How durable is Caia?Caia has strong metal housings to protect her delicate robotic systems and sensors. She is weather resistant and can handle a reasonable amount of rain and snow during the winter months. Her reflective mirror is also made of safety glass, so even if it does get broken it will stay in place and continue to reflect sunlight (though in a slightly more ‘disco ball’ manner) until you have time to replace it. How much sunlight does Caia need to work?Caia works best with direct sunlight however, she will redirect any available light so even diffuse light or cloudy skies can provide some illumination to a dark room. How far can Caia reflect light?In tests, Caia has illuminated areas up to over 100 feet away (30 meters). It’s entirely possible to go further, but Caia’s reflected light diffuses the further she has to go. How many hours of light can expect from Caia?8-16 hours a day depending on the available sunlight hours, time of the year and local geography. Will Caia provide heat or just light?Caia uses a flat mirror so the light reflected is not concentrated like a magnifying glass. The light Caia sends would be equivalent to the light that shines in through your window so your home will feel natural warmth but she can’t fry ants or start fires. How is shipping and tax handled?We are shipping to backers all over the world so taxes or duties vary from country to country. All of the shipping fees may be assessed during and after the campaign. We will follow up with our backers before shipping to confirm mailing address as well as shipping costs. Please note that the backer is responsible for all local taxes including but not limited to sales tax, VAT, GST, and import duties, as apply to them in their respective countries. We will do our best to reduce those fees to keep your costs down. What kind of warranty do you offer on Caia?Caia comes with a 1 year warranty that covers software, mechanical and component failures. Should you encounter any of the above problems just contact our customer support and we are happy to do everything to address the problem, even sending you a brand new Caia. Unfortunately, however, we cannot cover issues related to normal wear and tear or accidental damage. When will accessories be available for Caia?You can purchase a number of accessories on the Caia Store when it launches. This includes functional accessories as well as fun cosmetic items that allow you to customize the appearance of your Caia. Please join our mailing list or like us on social media so we can keep you posted on the store's opening and special offers.
Donate NowInstead of needing up to five single-use gadgets and tools in your kitchen the ChopBox combines all five into one amazing cutting board. You’ll never need to find or store smaller single-use tools like a food scale or kitchen timer again and will have more room for storage and organization in your kitchen. Germs & Bacteria in the Kitchen Did you know that knife blocks, drawers, and even regular cutting boards harbor tons of bacteria and germs? It seems like no one talks about it, but the hidden germs in your kitchen is very real. The Doctors Eat This, Not That Daily Meal . Cooking Light, Dr. Oz, Yahoo! The revolutionary ChopBox makes sanitizing your knives and cutting surfaces easy and brings germ-free cooking to your kitchen with a built-in disinfecting UVC light in the cutting board.Here is some research from Columbia University Irving Medical Center on the efficacy of UV light on germs and bacteria:Article titled “Can UV Light Fight the Spread of Influenza?”: https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/can-uv-light-fight-spread-influenzaNotable quote from this article: “Scientists have known for decades that broad-spectrum germicidal UV light, which has wavelengths between 200 and 400 nanometers (nm), is highly effective at killing bacteria and viruses by destroying the molecular bonds that hold their DNA together. This conventional UV light is routinely used to decontaminate surgical equipment.”Columbia University Irving Medical Center Video titled “Narrow Range of UV Safely Kills Drug-Resistant Bacteria”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSWhEubyRoYHere is an article by PhoneSoap, known for their bestselling UV light device cleaner: “How Does UV Light Kill Bacteria?”: https://www.phonesoap.com/blogs/news/how-does-uv-light-kill-bacteriaHere is an article from Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News, “UV Light That is Safe for Humans but Bad for Bacteria and Viruses”: https://www.genengnews.com/topics/translational-medicine/uv-light-that-is-safe-for-humans-but- bad-for-bacteria-and-viruses/Here is a timelapse video from Sci-Inspi of UV effects on bacteria:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4qrnMlhbpE KILL 99.99% OF GERMS AND BACTERIA WITH EVERY USE.Traditional knife blocks and cutting boards with gouges and scrapes can harbor harmful bacteria and germs. But who thinks to sanitize their knife after grabbing it? Now you can place your knife in between the two cutting surfaces and activate the small but powerful 254nm UVC light to sanitize up to 3 knives at once AND both cutting surfaces at the same time! Just one minute of UVC light exposure is guaranteed to kill 99.99% of germs and bacteria.The 254nm UVC light used in the ChopBox is small and has a limited angle with only a small gap in the boards when in use. It is 100% safe for all humans to be around and near this light. The UVC light will automatically switch off when you separate the two boards or you can press the second button on the control panel to turn it off. You will receive no negative side effects from this UVC light DOUBLE UP YOUR SPACE AND AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATIONWith two cutting surfaces, you can switch between raw meat and seafood to other foods without ever having to worry about cross-contamination. You can also use the smaller cutting board for food scraps, as an area to store cut foods, and for transferring your chopped food to the stove.The main cutting surface is replaceable. Buy parts via Kickstarter, or You will receive a survey after the campaign is over to add on replacement parts. or form theyesco store /Amazon after the campaign. BUILT-IN DIGITAL SCALE WEIGHS UP TO 6.6 POUNDSThe built-in scale is part of the cutting board on the left hand side. You can measure your ingredients in grams, ounces, pounds, kilogram and the scale weighs up to 6.6 pounds. Always get the exact right portion!The middle button on the control panel is used to switch between grams, ounces, pounds, kilogram with a single long-press. The scale features a tare function. To zero out the scale for a bowl or other vessel, just place the bowl on the scale and press the third (middle) button on the control panel to zero out the scale so that you're only weighing the goof, not the container. 9 - HOUR KITCHEN TIMERYour food will come out perfectly every time with our 9 -hour digital kitchen timer built-in to the ChopBox. Unlike traditional kitchen timers which can only go up to 59 minutes, the ChopBox timer has a longer readout and can be set for up to 9 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, so even big meals and slow cooker meals can be set on this timer. DUAL INSET KNIFE SHARPENERS It’s tough to remember where you put that small knife sharpener or know you’re using the honing steel type of sharpener correctly, so we made it easier than ever by putting two knife sharpeners right on the side of the cutting board. They are easily accessible and simple to use.There are two different knife sharpeners built into the ChopBox. One is made from diamond stone and the other is made of ceramic stone, so you can pick your level of sharpness.For more information on the diamond and ceramic knife sharpeners, see this from Wuesthof: https://www.wuesthof.com/international/knowledge/honing-und-sharpening/sharpening/index.jspThe sharpeners are replaceable. Buy parts via Kickstarter, or You will receive a survey after the campaign is over to add on replacement parts. or form theyesco store /Amazon after the campaign. GROOVE FOR CATCHING RUNOFFThere is a groove surrounding the cutting surface on the larger cutting surface for catching any juices from falling off and onto your counter, clothing, or floor. Just another small feature to make this the best cutting board you’ve ever used.USE SECOND BOARD AS PRESENTATION PLATERIn addition to food preparation, this smart cutting board is a perfect food presentation platter for parties and guests! With two clean uniform surfaces, you can use it as two separate food serving surfaces or as the perfect cheese or charcuterie board with the second surface coming out from the bottom to hold cheese knives and catch any drips. THE BATTERY LASTS UP TO 30 DAYS ON A SINGLE CHARGEThe ChopBox has a large battery inside [3000 mAh] which charges quickly. With just one hour of charging you get up to 30 days of regular daily use of your smart cutting board.COMPLETELY WATERPROOF FOR EASY CLEAN UPIPX is a waterproof rating system that refers to the ability of an object to resist water. For example, IPX0 means something is not water resistant at all, such as a book. IPX2 means your object is protected from “some water drops when the device is tilted up to and including 15 degrees.” The rating goes up to IPX8, which means your object is protected even if it is dropped in over 3 feet of water and is fully waterproof.The ChopBox is rated IPX7, meaning it is fully waterproof and can withstand being in water up to 3 feet deep! We do NOT recommend putting the ChopBox in a dishwasher, as the high heat in dishwashers warp and break down all natural cutting boards over timeDURABILITY TESTED AND HIGH STRENGTH ChopBox is incredibly strong! It holds up to 150 pounds of weight.Bamboo is completely natural and organic and is considered a “low maintenance wood,” meaning it is very hard and dense, so it keeps water out of the wood itself so it will not warp or crack as other woods can.Other woods like maple, walnut, or cherry require regular maintenance with mineral oil or beeswax to keep it from cracking and warping. Bamboo is also resistant to knife scarring, due to its hard density and is known for its durability and affordability. UPDATE OF CHANGED 100 % RECYCLABLE AND REPLACEABLE PARTSWe are listening to you! Because of comments and great ideas from our backers, we have made a couple of changes that will make the ChopBox even better! These changes should not delay the scheduled shipping dates and are already in process.Sustainability is a priority for our us, so to increase the lifetime of our products, we have redesigned the main cutting board to make sure some parts are replaceable.We are happy to announce that you WILL be able to purchase the following replaceable parts from either Kickstarter or from our Theyesco store on our website after the campaign is over.The following REPLACEABLE parts will be available for purchase SEPARATELY:*Main Cutting Board Surface*Knife SharpenersWe will be also creating tutorials to make the replacing process easy.Thank you to our backers for the great suggestions, we are excited to make the ChopBox even better and make it last for a lifetime.100 % RECYCLABLE AND REPLACEABLE PARTSNatural bamboo construction and easy-to-replace parts.We love the environment and want to be conscious of our environmental footprint, so the ChopBox is made out of completely recyclable bamboo and can be recycled after easily removing the internal electronic components.We also pack and ship in recyclable materials to make it easy for you to be socially conscious, too! Natural cutting boards are better for you. Sharp knives on plastic cutting boards create knicks in the plastic, which means that small pieces of plastic can and do end up in the food you are cutting. See some of the pictures below from our molding and production process. We want to make sure we will be able to ship the ChopBox on time and have already begun the molding process before this campaign has even launched. It is now in the production stage and we can’t wait to get yours to your home.Our designer and mechanical engineer in PCBA factory We've completed the design for manufacturing & assembly (DFMA) reviews for the product. The next step is to create the tools necessary to manufacture the different plastic parts of ChopBox. We plan to finish the whole tooling process by the end of September. We have will a trial production run in October and will be testing the product again before we do mass production. Our first batch of 2000 units will start in early November and we predict the larger production run of around 25000 -35000 units (depending on the orders from Indiegogo) will start shipping at end of November and beginning of December.Injection molding One of our top designers at The Yes Company is a skilled home chef, and as a designer and inventor, he is obsessed with efficiency and great design. He started to see smaller issues, like not being able to find the gadget he needed while cooking or having to buy and store more things to get the job done. Then he learned about the bigger problems: How many germs can live on a cutting board and on knives and the risk of cross-contamination when cutting raw meat.When sharing his story, our team went into overdrive to find a solution. If he was having these problems, there was no doubt in our minds that other home cooks were experiencing the same.So, we set out to solve every single problem he presented us with and more. In addition to solving common kitchen issues, we at The Yes Company decided to take it even further and create a smart kitchen appliance out of natural, organic materials - good for you, good for the planet, beautiful design. With a first of it’s kind bamboo-skin LED, we created a way to insert an LED backlight into bamboo without marring the gorgeous natural bamboo coloring so it blends right into the board until you’re ready to use it.We wanted to design a smart, creative, useful product to make cooking a delicious homecooked meal easier and more efficient, all while saving you time, money, and hassle. The key thing for us in the design process was to make something that was useful and had all the features you need while including the electronic components to give you the efficiency and smart capabilities. We love how the ChopBox came out and can’t wait for you to try it!Now you won’t have to buy and store a bunch of small gadgets, you can have one beautiful piece that has everything you need. SHIPPING DETAILSMany people are asking about the high cost of shipping. We have been working with many shipping services to try to get the best prices for global shipping and Container shipping is currently the best rate. We know it is pricey, and a big part of that is due to the weight (over 6 pounds!) of the cutting board plus the weight of the packaging. We are continuing to work with shipping companies and will change services if we find one with a better price. In the meantime, we have significantly discounted the ChopBox more than we originally planned to in order to make up for the higher shipping costs.As a design company, we have gotten dozens of products through the production process helping third-party designers and retailers, and we’ve learned a lot about this process. This experience has led us to be more knowledgeable and have a better grasp on timelines. We promise to work our hardest to bring you the best possible product to you in the proposed time frame. What shipping service we are using?Most of the rewards we have listed (except the SUPER FAST DELIVERY), will use Container shipping to ship to the destination country or city and then use the local post office or shipping services to get the ChopBox to your home. We are using Container to ship this product because it is not a small and light product, and including the packaging, it will be around 3.5kg (7.7 pounds), and the box is fairly large. We want you to have a cheapest shipping cost possible and this is how we can do that. How long does it take to ship to our place?We will ship it via Container. For US residents, it will take 30 days for standard shipping. For the EU, it will take 40 days for standard shipping, plus another 3 - 5 days for local delivery to your door by local shipping services. Is there VAT, duties or fees related to shipping?For container shipment order to US EU AU CA CN HK SG area, we will pay the tax.Kickstarter rewards are gifts that you receive in return for your donations. They are different from ordinary sales/purchases. Our courier had worked on dozens crowdfunding projects which went smoothly through fulfillment. Under our arrangement, it won't entail additional costs for you under most circumstances. Despite that, the fact we're shipping directly from China may still impose a chance for further inspection and determination by the customs. The VAT, duties and fees vary by country. Please message us about the specifics. What's the warranty?We provide a 12-month warranty on Kickstarter orders, same as retail. Why bamboo?Bamboo is completely natural and organic and is considered a “low maintenance wood,” meaning it is very hard and dense, so it keeps water out of the wood itself, which also means it will not warp or crack as other woods can. Other woods like maple, walnut, or cherry require regular maintenance with mineral oil or beeswax to keep it from cracking and warping.Bamboo is also resistant to knife scarring, due to its hard density and is known for its durability and affordability. What are the dimensions of the cutting board?17.9” x 11” x 1.2” How heavy is the cutting board?6 pounds Is it dishwasher safe?No. In fact, all organic and natural cutting boards will warp and degrade in dishwashers due to the high heat. And chemical cleaners can effect food safety. It is waterproof and you can clean it with soap and warm or hot water. How do you sanitize knives?When you place the second cutting surface on top of the first, there will be a slim gap between the two surfaces on the right side of the cutting board. Simply slide up to three knives sharp-side first into the gap, leave them for one minute, and let them be clean and sanitized! Do all cutting boards harbor bacteria?Yes! The scars left on cutting boards can be a breeding ground for germs, and tht is especially dangerous with plastic-based cutting boards. No one wants bits of plastic in or on their food. Because of the way you use the two cutting surfaces to sandwiched together to sanitize your knives, it also sanitizes BOTH cutting surfaces. Why are there two knife sharpeners?There are two because they are for differing amounts of sharpness. One is a diamond stone and the other is made from ceramic stone. How do I wash the scale after putting meat on it?The same way you would wash the rest of it, even the scale component is waterproof. How long can the timer be set for?The timer goes up to 9-hours and makes a sound when it is done. How often do I need to charge the cutting board?The cutting board has a small Micro - USB charging port on the left side by the scale/timer. You only need to charge once the right side of screen’s battery bar lower to 10-20% or so for 3 hours for it to be fully charged. When will the smart cutting board be delivered?We have moved into the production stage and we will have the first 2000 units of cutting boards ready around the first week of November. The rest of the orders will be fully finished by the end of November, and they will ship out right away. What is the return policy?We have a 30-day return policy. If your ChopBox is defective or a manufacturer error after opening, you can return it for a refund or exchange. However, if it is working properly, it cannot be returned once it is opened and used, due to potential cross-contamination issues.

Donate NowThe average toothbrush contains more than 10 million bacteria, including E. coli and Staph, according to a recent study at the University of Manchester in England. And researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently found that brushes stored in the bathroom—a.k.a. all of them—are contaminated with fecal germs, among other bacteria. Using a cover on your toothbrush after brushing your teeth seems like a good idea but, actually, it's poor health practice. Moisture gets trapped within the cap keeping your toothbrush bristles from drying. This promotes bacterial growth.The bathroom countertop is home to 452 bacteria per square inch, so if you leave your toothbrush on it, you’re putting those bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria can spread from one head of a toothbrush to another when the bristles touch. If your family member is sick or has an infection, touching toothbrushes could spread their illness and germs to you. There are countless toothbrush holders and sanitizers on the market today but almost none follow the natural, easy and fast method of decontaminating your toothbrush. SensiFresh uses a brush-like pattern of silicone heads, housed in a protective holder to capture toothbrush handles of just about any size or shape. These long, flexible (but durable) silicone finger-like structures easily grab toothbrushes and create an environment that isolates toothbrushes, preventing cross-contamination from other toothbrushes in the holder. Other holders are easily exposed to gargled water and toothpaste residue. Leading to the same contamination issues that you were seeking to solve in the first place. The reverse toothbrush holder by Working K using an internal structure of silicon bristles that prevents contamination. Contacts between toothbrushes can cause unwanted infection.The cup also gets dirty from collected toothbrush water. Our device allows for the separate but concurrent holding of whatever you need: Toothbrushes, razors, toothpaste, tongue cleaner, even a comb without cross-contamination. Capping a toothbrush or putting it in a container ensures the toothbrush will never dry and worse, can serve as a breeding ground for germs.Inserting toothbrushes upside down (inverted) in the SensiFresh ensures you are getting the fastest, most natural drying and decontamination of toothbrushes after use. The free flow of air, absence of cross-contamination bacteria make the SensiFresh the easiest, most natural way to store and dry your toothbrushes. SensiFresh is made of easy to sterilize dishwasher safe materials so you can keep it clean. Or use microwave or boiling water to thoroughly sterilize it. SensiFresh is space-saving and easy to install. Simply remove the strip at the back of the holder and place SensiFresh anywhere you want. SensiFresh is not only for toothbrush. Take it to your shower, kitchen, office and more. SensiFresh can do it all. Founded in 2016, Working-K has been working to improve the quality of human life by developing products that are essential, not just good to have. Through research and development, the company continues to march towards becoming a leading product supplier.The new 2019 product, "Reversed Toothbrush Holder" will enable safe and hygienic use of toothbrushes that have been neglected.

"Only if the Mirror I Have Been Dreaming Of Could Be Created. Woman Would Be Staring At Themselves Everyday!" My daughter told me that if this mirror really makes it to the marketplace, worldwide, then so many women will not take their eyes off of it. So, I kept repeating the word 'She-Z-Mirra' and we decided to name it " She-Z-Mirror", "She-Z-M". I went on a lot of business trips while it was only me and my daughter living together. I thought to myself, it would be nice if there was something that would alert me with a text message if my daughter screamed. That's why I added this feature that makes the siren go off. I set the siren to go off when my daughter screams. I believe this small mirror can protect my family. Bosung Kim, Magic Nanny CEO, Inventor The purpose of this project is not only for sales.It is to see what reaction it brings. We were curious to see how many people would respond to this.

Will the LED hurt my eyes from being too bright?The LED is 2,000LM ±50LM. This is the brightest setting and has 4 adjustable settings.12. Where will my SheZmirror ship from?All orders will ship from Toronto, Canada, Los Angeles, United States & Busan, South Korea.13. When can I expect my order to arrive?All orders will begin to ship in September, 2018. Shipping within USA or Canada should take 3-5 business days from the date of shipment and international orders should take around 1-3 weeks. We have prepared a special event. While upgrading the current version for next year, we created a new prototype, but it is not yet at the stage where it can be mass-produced. (It is adjustable 360 degrees up and down with speakers and a camera built in.)However, if you all join us actively, we will be able to make this prototype.If we raise more than $100,000, we will upgrade to this version at no additional cost.

SketchesWUUK PrototypeTooling Completed1st Round Trial ProductionWUUK Labs is founded by 4 cohorts who all spent years working in Silicon Valley’s tech companies. They found that their friends or even family would do tons of researches - even up to months - for buying smart devices, especially smart home systems, and many devices are not friendly to people just like themselves, apartment tenants. As tech enthusiasts, they believe that it shouldn't be this complicated, and started working towards this mission.WUUK Labs is established to research on popularizing smart home and simplifying the processes. We’re approaching this goal via these means - a simple price model, user-friendly design, and reliable high-quality products. WUUK Doorbell is the very first step in building this ecosystem. ? Frequently Asked Questions:1. What are the dimensions of the Wuuk? L15.6cm / W5.6cm / H3.6cm 2. Is there an option to purchase more chimes? Can I buy an additional plugin chime?So far the WUUK Doorbell and the chime work on a 1-for-1 pairing setting, meaning only one chime can be connected to one doorbell. So there is no option for purchasing extra chimes. 3. Is there a way to take the doorbell with you when you move house? how do you remove to charge without breaking anything?If you use the 3M tape as the installation method, we'd suggest getting a new back mount as you move to a new location. The doorbell is detachable from the backplate using a mechanic (see the 2nd video in the media gallery, or check this gif for that information. For charging the doorbell, it is the same way.) 4. What type of microSD card does WUUK work with? What is the biggest SD Card you can place in the chime?Micro SD Card Class 10. 64GB is the biggest SD card our chime can take. On average, a 32GB SD card could store video footages up to 20 months. 5. Can more than 1 person receive alerts at the same time, and each has the option to respond?There will be family sharing setting in the owner's account in the WUUK app. More than one person (the owner account) can receive alerts if the owner chooses to share accesses. And the owner account can grant levels of access to shared accounts. 6. Is this compatible with the Ring chime / mechanical chimes my house has? Can I install the doorbell without plugging in the chime?The WUUK Chime is required because it is not only a ringer but also stores data and provides wireless access to the doorbell. Each WUUK Chime and WUUK Doorbell are paired when you receive them, and they must work together. :) 7. Will the chime be supplied with a UK plug or just a US plug?We offer 4 types of plugs - US, AUS, EU, and UK sizes. Once you proceed to the payment step, you will be able to select from the dropdown menu.

They’ve changed and shaped the life of a modern man like nothing else. Everybody has one and daily activities without this tiny black “brick” are unthinkable for most of us.Despite their presence little does an average person know what’s inside this magical device.With MAKERphone we’re trying to show people that every machine you see was designed by a human being not different nor smarter than themselves.MAKERphone is actually an educational device disguised in the shape of a mobile phone.Our main goal is turning consumers into creators.MAKERphone steps up the gameWe’ve learned A LOT from manufacturing and shipping over 6000 MAKERbuino kits in the past year and here’s a short list of most notable changes and improvements that we’ve implemented in MAKERphone: A color screenBetter microcontroller with our custom softwarePython programming language compatibilityScratch programming language compatibilityDedicated DAC and electronic volume controller for sound regulation and mp3 playback 8 individually programmable RGB LEDs for a lightshow in your palmsBetter PCB architecture for easier solderingNew prettier box with a black touchy cut-out sponge (IMPORTANT!)The thing can now make calls, has a SIM card, and built-in Wi-Fi, BluetoothRTC (real time clock) - MAKERphone now keeps time and wakes you up!4G or not to 4G?MAKERphone used to come in two variants - 2G and 4G.We have decided to discontinue the 2G version as there was a lot of confusion about the difference between the 2G and the 4G version of the phone.All MAKERphones bought after 19th April 2019 support 4G networks and come preconfigured for your region’s network.How is MAKERphone 4G different?MAKERphone 4G is a version of MAKERphone with a 4G chipset (SIM7600) instead of a 2G GSM chipset (SIM800) that’s included on the standard MAKERphone. The other aspects of MAKERphone will work similarly on both models.MAKERphone teaches you about wires and chips (a.k.a. “hardware”)MAKERphone is hardware. MAKERphone is wires. MAKERphone is chips. MAKERphone is education.MAKERphone runs on electricity and has the same components as your smartphone.It comes in a kit form (not assembled) - you get a box with all the electronic components necessary for building your own fully working mobile phone.You’ll need two things to build your MAKERphone:1) some basic tools2) passion and interest in technologyMAKERphone is FUNWe’re living in the 21st century when kids are not only playing Fortnite. They are building their own electronic devices in their garages #badass #supersmart There’s internet, open-source code and wires you can buy on the internet. All knowledge is a few clicks away and you just need the willpower to start learning and doing something new!Try building your own mobile phone, you'll see how much fun it is!MAKERphone needs toolsMAKERphone teaches you REAL electronics, it’s not like those wanna-be Lego-like electronics kits.hus, you'll need some REAL tools and equipment for assembling your MAKERphone:A regular soldering iron (nothing super expensive)Some solderDiagonal cutter pliersA regular screwdriverA piece of insulating tapeIf you're a maker, you probably already have these tools.If you're a maker-to-be and still don't have these tools, don't worry as we've got you covered.We've prepped a special version of the MAKERphone kit that already comes with the required tools.Check out the rewards section (at the bottom of the listing) for more info about the available kit versions.Who is this kit for?Based on our experience, an 11-year-old kid should be able to assemble their own MAKERphone with a tiny bit of help from an adult. Therefore, the estimated age group is 11+. Estimated hardware build time: 7 hours. Build time varies and depends on the skills of the person and if the person has ever soldered before.Estimated play time: unlimitedEstimated software development and learning time: unlimitedBuilding the MAKERphone is just the beginning. After that you'll spend numerous hours creating your own games, apps, learning about software, and experimenting with hardware.What's in the kit?MAKERphone circuit board - the main board that connects all the components in a uniform device that can work as a mobile phone MAKERphone casing - multiple sheets of acrylic cut with the power of lasers. They protect the innards and give MAKERphone this sleek look 128*160 full-color TFT LCD - for playing games, displaying phone numbers and everything in between GSM module - a tiny module responsible for everything related to calling and texting other people Main microcomputer module - a dual-core processor with built-in Wi-Fi, BLE, and a charging circuit Sound module - a board with a DAC (digital to analog converter) chip and a headphone jack for music playback (responsible for ringtones, alarms, game sound effects) Amplifier module - makes loud buzzes, bleeps and bloops Stick-on antenna - for superb phone signal (a.k.a. send text messages while in the bathroom) A bag with other tiny electronic components such as pushbuttons and colored button caps with a 128MB SD card preloaded with games and apps includedWhat’s in the tools pack?If you choose a perk with a tools pack included, you’ll get this neat wooden box filled with all the essential tools needed for MAKERphone assembly:USB soldering iron (lightweight and portable, solder on the go!) Metal soldering iron stand USB cable for the soldering iron Screwdriver USB power brick for powering your soldering iron Some solder Needle nose pliers Diagonal cutter pliersMAKERphone teaches you PythonPython Is Everywhere.Python is and has been for a while one of the world's most popular programming languages.Every day, without realizing it, you probably use software that is written in Python and big companies use it to write all sorts of useful applications.Python is easy to learn, intuitive, pleasing to the eye and comes with a plethora of libraries.In fact, Python’s creator Guido van Rossum said that he wants to make computer programming accessible to everybody.The best thing - you can code your own apps and games for MAKERphone using Python!MAKERphone runs a special version of python called MicroPython - which has all the basic functions with some specific ones that we’ve defined in order to help you control your MAKERphone’s hardware.Python is a type of programming language that’s not compiled but instead interpreted by the device in real time.Despite that, we’ve designed special code snippets that will “freeze” your Python code and generate an executable file that can be placed on your MAEKRphone’s SD card!MAKERphone teaches you ScratchScratch is a revolutionary program that makes it easy for kids as young as 5 to learn how to code with a simple drag-and-drop system of programming.It already is one of the most popular programming tools for schools.An awesome project called Whitecat IDE made it possible to control MAKERphone’s hardware with ease! It’s an open-source online tool that allows you to create code in a Scratch-like environment.If you’ve never coded before, this is the way to go. Scratch’s intuitive design will let you code your first MAKERphone app in mere minutes!MAKERphone loves ArduinoYES, we love Arduino!Oh, Arduino, you’ve taught us to code and we’ve delved into the word of electronics thanks to your board. This product and our company was made possible thanks to Arduino’s open-sourcefulness and community.Albert: “If Arduino was a lady, I’d take her to a fine dinner… with my GF’s permission, of course!”Therefore, MAKERphone is based on Arduino-compatible ESP32 microcontroller and can be programmed in Arduino IDE (based on C/C++) - the most popular programming environment for makers and hardware enthusiasts.MAKERphone is compatible with numerous Arduino related examples of manipulating various hardware and software components. In fact, it's compatible with most Arduino software libraries available online and will work with many Arduino shields and modules with minimal or no library code modifications.MAKERphone takes you from Padawan to Jedi MasterYou’ve never coded before? You also don’t know a thing about hardware? Absolutely no problemo as MAKERphone will take you from learning how to wield a soldering iron through assembling your very own fully functional mobile phone all the way to coding your very own app or game for your very own DIY mobile phone.We’ve segmented the learning process into levels (like in a video game):MAKERphone does games and appsMAKERphone comes with a 128MB SD card preinstalled with dozens of useful applications, tools and games.It comes with all the basic mobile phone-ish apps such as contacts, SMS, phone dialer, music player, as well as a collection of neat GameBoy-inspired games. MAKERphone is MAKERbuino-compatibleMAKERbuino games can be played on MAKERphone and they’re in full color this time!MAKE your own apps and games!YES! MAKERphone is DIY in its every aspect. Assemble the bits and pieces together in order to create a fully functional phone and get down to coding your own games and apps.Our comprehensive tutorials will lead you through every step of your creative process.There are three main ways to create a game/app for your MAKERphone:Scratch! A.k.a. colorful blocks that you drag and drop together in order to make your first app. Python! Use one of the most popular programming languages used in almost every educational institution or school that teaches people coding. Arduino (C/C++)The most popular programming platform for makers and DIY-ers is MAKERphone-compatible and we like it a lot.After coding your app, you can compile it to an “executable” binary file and put it on your MAKERphone’s SD card.Apps located on the SD card are accessed through MAKERphone’s main menu via the “Apps” icon.We’ve coded a programming library with sets of commands that let you easily:develop in-app menus and other GUI-related contentplay and develop sound FX and background musicdraw, display, and animate bitmapscontrol MAKERphone’s hardware (i.e. make calls, read files from SD card, flash LEDs)CircuitMess world is a place for MAKERphone users to share their creations, exchange knowledge, and download programs made by others as well as a collection of tutorials, guides, and MAKERphone-related documentation.Every game or app in CircuitMess world is open-source and available with a downloadable source code along with a compiled binary file that you can load directly on your device’s SD card.To put it simply, you can take a look at the code of every MAKERphone compatible game or app, learn something new, change the code and implement parts of the code in your own project.Our tutorials collection consists of two main parts:Official tutorials and guides written by the MAKERphone team User-created tutorials that everyone can write and share a bit of knowledge with other creatorsCustomize your MAKERphone's UI MAKERphone is customizable.Express yourself by customizing your phone's UI.This can be done through MAKERphone's settings or editing a setup file on MAKERphone's SD card.

Looks like cheese, though... Adriatic blue Blue as the Croatian seaRadioactive orange Made out of freshly squeezed radioactive orangesCherry redNo cherries were harmed in the making of this case You’ll be able to pick your desired style in a survey sent after the campaign ends (that’s how Kickstarter works, DUH!)MAKERphone has rewardsMAKERphone has a timelineFollow us on social media We’ve got all of them:TWITTERFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMeven YOUTUBEThe story of MAKERphone (and CircuitMess)Albert here! Let me tell you a story of CircuitMess and MAKERbuino.CircuitMess is a technology startup founded a year and a half ago after a successful Kickstarter campaign for MAKERbuino (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/albertgajsak/makerbuino-a-diy-game-console). The name of our startup stems from two words:Circuit (we make electronic circuits) + Mess (our company is a mess) After successfully delivering MAKERbuino, we were collecting feedback from thousands of users and have started thinking about our next big step.An idea of a DIY mobile phone came in and we had so much fun brainstorming, developing and goofing around whilst preparing this amazing product and this exciting campaign :)Thank you!Our company was founded over a year ago thanks to generous Kickstarter supporters just like you.As a result of your help, our lives have changed and our hobbies turned into full-time jobs.This wonderful experience allowed us to spread positive influence, open jobs and learn A LOT.This shaped and defined us as people that we are today. MAKERphone has a “gang”This whole story was started by Albert, his brother, and a few friends back when he was in high school.They were all working on it after school/work as much as they could.Since then, a lot has changed.We've rented a real workplace and started employing people (job interviews yay!).CircuitMess has grown to 7 full-time employees and a few part-timers and we've successfully converted this small hype-driven business into a self-sustainable startup.Oh, and we have a microwave oven now too!

Wait, but what's going on at the Smell Lab? 1. Smell Open Lab:Berlin is a major expression of freedom and creativity in Europe. Many artists and creative professionals move to the crazy metropolis every year. But we all know, Berlin is changing and the rental prices are rising, making it difficult for creative entrepreneurs to settle in the city and expand.The Smell Open Lab wants to create a safe and relaxed space for creative-minded humans who want to create with scent, share inspirations and ideas and mingle. With your help, we can bring all these people together and create a warm place to foster creativity. 2. Help our library of scents to grow:The Smell Lab has already a collection of about 120 perfumery ingredients (essential oils, aroma molecules, and fragrance oils) at your disposition. However, we need a wider variety of ingredients, I want to provide you with the largest possible choice you've ever imagined! In order to achieve this, we need to source and increase our collection. 3. Expanding our community Shout out loud! Help us covering some marketing & advertising costs. In a digital era, we need to spread our small tentacles online, I want to reach more people and make our small family grow! 4. Growing the teamI am looking for a magical superhero who can help us grow and support the Smell Lab by running some of the activities and administrative tasks. 5. What is coming up:INDIE Perfumer meet upPerfume accords workshopPerfume Blending WorkshopsSniff meet upOpen Lab SessionsPerfumer in Residency South Morocco4th Experimental Scent Summit in LAOur first research groupMore tba... Funding Goals: Target 7.650 EUR2.100 EUR will help cover part of the workshop space costs for the first running months.1,500 EUR will help to double our scent organ (at the moment we have about 120 ingredients available in our collection).1.200 EUR I will invest in lab materials, for example, perfumer alcohol, bottles, vials, new scales for the workshops, pipettes and more! I want to be ready to have all you need!400 EUR will help buy and mount two new mobile stainless steel tall tables (at the moment I have one).1.250 EUR will get the Smell Lab going with promotional costs (like marketing and advertising). We need to reach more people so we can continue growing!1.200 EUR will help me find a magic person to support the Smell Lab while I can manage our external collaborations around the world! Why supporting the Smell Lab? With your help, we can build an accessible scent lab were we promise we won't hold any secrets. Who said you couldn't learn by yourself (and with our support) about creativity and perfumery?The Smell Lab is not only an educational and art project, but it's also about empowering people. We like to think "If I can, why wouldn't you?".In the past four years the Smell Lab (Klara Ravat, and her different collaborators) have hosted a bunch of free public presentations, talked about scent extraction methods, invited artists and designers to speak to an audience, created scented games together, we smell-dated, installed a bunch of temporary working stations in different cities, taught at universities, hosted workshops...It is definitively worth supporting the Smell Lab Studio, together we are invincible! No Money? It's OK.Because I am aware many of you out there are in a similar position, here other ways you could help:Share the campaign with your friends. Every shared post or mouth to mouth comment matters! Do you have materials or books you think we could use at the lab?
