DataCar: Gamify the Driving Experience
A DONGLE THAT HELPS YOU DOUBLE CLUTCH NAN’S HOLDEN ASTRA.
US$30 | igg.me/at/datacar/x#/Studies have found that people who play Forza or Need for Speed daily have a higher
incidence of accidents and speeding tickets than the general population. So we’re not sure
the ‘gamification’ of everyday driving is such a good thing, but the app-connected DataCar
dongle still looks like a neat little tool for anyone interested in detailed driving data. After
pluging the dongle into your car’s OBD2 diagnostic info port and choosing from one of the
Eco, Diagnosis or Sports driving modes, the DataCar will deliver info on speed, RPM,
gears, acceleration and fuel economy so that you can drive even better.ONLYBRUSH
THE ONLYBRUSH IS FOR BRUSHING YOUR
TEETH... AND EIGHT OTHER THINGS.
$TBC | hiq.ai/smart-electric-toothbrush-onlybrushIf there’s one thing you should probably avoid
when naming a product it’s to include
contradictory words in the name, but alas the
OnlyBrush seems to have missed this memo
since its eager to flaunt the fact that it’s not only a
brush, but a full travel dental kit. OnlyBrush’s
highlight tech is Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0, but
we’re still not 100% sure what it’s connected to or
why it needs to be connected at all. The
OnlyBrush has only nine features, which,
according to a press release, will “Not only
replace your old brush, but this product will also
become your own dentist with its great features.”ZERO BREEZE MARK II
SEE THE WORLD BEFORE GLOBAL WARMING
FORCES YOU TO GET A BIGGER AIR-
CONDITIONER.
$1599 | http://www.zerobreeze.comEveryone knows that the best ‘Great Outdoors’
trips are created by the abundance of gear you
bring to prevent anyone sacrificing any creature
comforts.This is what makes the Zero Breeze
Mark II so great. Not only will it drain 210 Watts
every hour you have it on, but instead of soaking
up the serenity of the outside world, you’ll also
get to yell over the 50dB drone of the internal
compressor. That said, thanks to the 16.7 degree
maximum cooling differential you’llnever have to
take off your favourite furs, evenif it is 30
degrees outside. Now that’s cool.[ THE HELL IS THIS? ]Ridiculous tech exposed

RIDICULOUS TECHYoonJi Combination Earbud Earings
IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULDA PUT A RING ON IT.
$TBC | http://www.yankodesign.comIf you thought that Apple’s AirPods were a fashion statement, get ready to have your eyes
opened by the YoonJi Combination Earbud Earrings. Looking as if they belong on a haute
couture catwalk, the loops of these fashion-first true wireless headphones don’t just make a
statement, but they also crank up its volume. Quite literally the hoops also double as an
interface where you roll them forward and back for volume control. USB-C charging and a
minimalist earring case design mean they seem like a legitimate headphone option, but we’re
guessing you’ll need to at least buy a few pairs – so you have one that’ll match every outfit.
