Water filtering pitcher concept wants you to slow down while pouring a drink

Posted on by

When you’re thirsty or you need to drink water, you just go to your ref, bring out the pitcher, or open a water bottle and just drink. You don’t really think about things like slowing down, mindfulness, staying healthy, or resting. You just need to quench your thirst or count the glasses of water that you drink. But actually if you think about it, drinking water can definitely be connected to all of that and can be your chance to take a break from your normal routine and take a few, deep breaths while drinking.

Designers: Krishna Pranav Vaddiparthi & Ria Shah

Osoi is a concept for a water filtering pitcher for Japanese tableware and lifestyle brand Kinto. The name of the product is the Japanese word for “slow” and its goal, aside from getting you to drink clean, filtered water, is to slow down while nourishing your body. The brand is the perfect inspiration as they are an advocate of using their products to “connect to life” or just taking a break from your work or studies even as you do something mundane.

The design of the pitcher itself uses several elements that represent what it means to slow down on a functional and aesthetic level. The pastel peach gradient represents joy but is also part of the water filtering process. Meanwhile, the spout, representing the water flow, lets you pour the water ever so slowly so you’re forced to slow down and have a sense of calm. The wooden handle is supposed to “celebrate the finer details” while the few wooden parts of the pitcher gives you a more tactile experience.

The Osoi pitcher render shows three different color hues: Blissful Blue, Gray Gardens, and Patient Peach. It’s a pretty interesting ideology to put on a mere pitcher but we all need to stop and smell the roses, or at least drink the water, every once in a while.

Wearable air purifier lets you enjoy life without worrying about airborne allergens

Posted on by

Although many people have only recently become more aware of the quality of the air they breathe, there are plenty more that have constantly been living with worry because of the potential threats hanging in the air. Different people have different types of allergies, but one of the most common can be triggered by invisible particles that enter our noses and lungs. And while it’s relatively easier to control the environment at home with air purifiers, although it isn’t completely foolproof, stepping into public spaces is pretty much a leap of faith for someone with allergies. Now you no longer have to give up the fun things in life with this innovative air purifier that discreetly hangs around your neck, letting you enjoy fresh and clean air wherever you are, whatever you’re doing.

Respiray Wear A+ – Effectively reduces airborne allergen particles by 99.9% thanks to its user-replaceable HEPA filters.

There are many ways to fight off airborne allergies these days. Some take medication either before or after exposure, but that is never a feasible or healthy long-term solution. Indoor air purifiers do work, but you need to be close to the machine for it to be really effective. Inside public spaces like cafes or stores, the options are even more limited, and while certain masks do work, they also limit your ability to drink, eat, and breathe freely. Respiray Wear A+ combines the best of both worlds, bringing the effectiveness of an indoor air purifier that still lets your smile shine.

The way it works is so simple you’d be left wondering why no one has capitalized on it before. The curved device hangs a bit below the front of your neck, where it gets out of the way of your face and looks nothing more than a fashionable neckband. Inside, however, the device draws in air, pushes it through a HEPA filter to remove harmful airborne allergens, and then releases the filtered air upward toward your mouth and nose. This, in effect, creates a “safe zone” around your face, leaving you free to breathe clean air without worrying about allergies. The device has been clinically tested and lab-verified to be effective in filtering out 99.9% of these allergens, promising a worry-free breath every time.

There are a small number of wearable air purifiers that make almost the same promises, but the Respiray Wear A+ outshines all of them with its convenience and style. You won’t look ridiculous with parts of your face or head always covered, and it doesn’t get in the way of actions such as talking, drinking, or even eating. Wear A+ leaves you free to enjoy life and smile and let others witness that happiness painted on your face.

Wear A+ also eases your worries about its longevity and usability. A built-in rechargeable battery means you can confidently use it anywhere, and replaceable HEPA filters that last for 3 months mean you can get as much use out of it for years. For only $74, you get the Respiray Wear A+, two HEPA filters, and a washable air filter, freeing you from the fears and anxieties of airborne allergens, leaving you free to enjoy with a bright smile that everyone can see.

Professional photography filter kit to elevate iPhone 13 vlogging to god level

Posted on by

The iPhone 13 series is already a stellar photography-capable device, but we all keep longing for more. People who feel the need to explore more of their Apple smartphone for taking breath-taking shots, have one more reason to shell out money on third-party accessories.

NiSi has announced a kit targeted at smartphone photography and videography fanatics. Not only the iPhone 13 series, but the kit is also compatible with 12 and 11-series phones. iPhone X, SE, 8, 7 and 6 are also compatible with the latest kit that promises an enhanced level of photography for demanding users.

The resourceful accessories dubbed NiSi IP-A Filter System for iPhone comprise of a Landscape Kit, Filmmaker Kit and Cinema Kit. Just for the records, NiSi has made the filters on this pro kit the same as the ones used on the regular DSLR cameras. Now that’s going to be a big advantage for content creators who don’t like the hassles of carrying a DSLR but want the same refined output from their iPhone 13 Pro. Especially ones who don’t miss the opportunity to shoot a viral video on the go.

The pivotal element of the whole kit is the NiSi IP-A holder that hooks onto your smartphone, even with the cover case on. It encapsulates the camera module securely and then the respective circular filters can be slotted in. With the P2 holder, one can also use rectangular filters. Thankfully, the holder doesn’t scratch the screen like other lens filter holders, since it has a soft clamp side built. Depending on the chosen kit the bundled set of accessories will also differ a bit. One thing is common though – they all come with a carrying pouch.

The Landscape Kit will have the P2 holder, medium graduated ND, 6-stop infrared blocking ND filter and polarizing filter. The Filmmaker Kit has round filters, a ¼ Black Mist filter, and a True Color ND-Vario 1-5 stop filter for controlling the aperture in bright lighting. Lastly, the Cinema Kit is similar to the Filmmaker Kit but comes with the additional Allure-Streak Blue and Allure-Streak Orange filters. These filters help creatives produce the result achieved with anamorphic lenses, like the cool-colored lens flares.

For now, the NiSi IP-A Filter System is only available for backorder from the official website and is also up for pre-order on the Amazon Germany portal. The NiSi Landscape, Filmmaker and Cinema kits are each available for €69.90, €149 and €199 respectively right now.

These new Snapchat Goggles use a more classic circular frame with dual camera-lenses

Posted on by

These whimsical pair of spectacles aren’t your average eyesight-correcting instruments. They’re built for a more socially engaging purpose. The Snap Goggles are the spiritual successor to the Snap Spectacles from Snapchat. Designed as a concept by Scandinavian-studio Swift Creatives, the Snap Goggles give the original Spectacles a design refresh, with a more contemporary-yet-funky circular frame, complete with a dual-color palette.

The Snap Goggles come with tinted eyeglasses, but unlike in the original Snap Spectacles, these glasses don’t have the dual-camera lenses cutting into the eyepieces. Instead, the tinted circular eyepieces exist independently, with the two camera lenses resting on the end of the temple-stems. The result is a pair of spectacles that look funky yet contemporary, with the camera lenses being placed slightly further apart, but in a manner that makes much more sense visually.

The AR Goggles operate almost exactly like their predecessors, but come with the ability to view the Snap effects right inside the glasses (instead of on your phone). The eyepieces are, in fact, transparent displays, giving you the ability to see the holographic projections inside the glasses themselves. The glasses power on as soon as the temple stems are opened, allowing contact points on the stem and the frame to connect and boot the spectacles. Obviously, the Snap Goggles are just a fan-made concept for now, but they do paint a pretty great picture of what Snapchat’s vision for AR glasses should be in the future – a pair of chic looking frames built with pretty good cameras, depth-sensing and motion-tracking AI, transparent augmented-reality displays, and a nifty spectacle case to charge your Snap Goggles when you’re not wearing them!
