This reinforced vehicle storage system is the protection your gear needs to stay safe while adventuring outdoors!





For a true professional globe trotter, their gear is the biggest asset – be it a snowboarder, photographer, blogger, adventure junkie, or drone operator. Hauling gear from one location to the other comes with its set of unforeseen circumstances – inclement weather, chances of a robbery, or damage during the transit itself. This is where you need robust, customizable storage to fit in the bay of your ride – be it a pickup truck, SUV, or even sedan. TruckVault creates state-of-the-art storage vaults for creative people who like their life organized and non-compromised at all costs.

Much attention has been given to the usage of the vaults, therefore, they are made out of tough MDO and are insulated against fire or freezing temperatures. They are dust and grit-free while also providing insulation from moisture built up inside. Thanks to the premium insulation and design, the gear inside won’t make that irking sound whenever you hit a bump on the road. For people who take security pretty seriously, the TruckVault’s custom storage vaults for vehicles can be had in a five-button combination lock with key override too. The possibilities with them are endless, thanks to the limitless customizations one can go for depending on their vehicle type or particular requirements.

Incepted by Al Chandler a couple of decades ago, the venture started as a one-off custom build by Al to store his firearms and gear in the bed of his truck. As others found it to be a good enough solution to carry anything important, TruckVault evolved into a custom provider for safe and secure storage that’s the safest way to move your valuables from one location to the other. Now they take privilege in providing their customers with custom in-vehicle storage rigs that are invisible. Their prized clients include adventure seekers, hunters, sportspeople, law enforcement agents, military personnel, or commercial and residential tradespeople.

This home gym comes with a smart fitness mirror designed to help you workout like a pro!

Home workouts are still very much a part of 2021, which, I think, is one of the everlasting changes 2020 has made in our life. While working out at home is easier said than done – consistently and with the same intensity – there are hundred possible ways to get fit, but only a handful of them actually work. Frankly speaking, working out without the assistance of a gym instructor is a pipedream only a few out there can achieve. Sure there are tons of fancy home workout equipment and accessories, but the question remains – do you still use them after a month or two, shelling out hundreds of dollars?

This is where the NordicTrack Vault comes in and literally aids you with the training at a professional athlete’s level thanks to the iFit trainers enrolled with the platform. This smart home workout equipment combines technology, practical usage, and professional challenges only a trainer can throw at you to get fitter by the day. The freestanding smart mirror comes with storage space inside for all your dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, and anything else for which space is left. You can call it an all-in-one smart fitness studio with an integrated 32-inch HD touchscreen cum mirror. So, as you select your training programs and follow the instructions of the trainer on-screen, you can actually keep an eye on the correct form of any exercise.

You’ll be able to receive feedback based on your workout regime, and it can’t get more interactive than training alongside your coach as you emulate the moves and correct them in real-time. For a more personalized fitness regime, you can hook on the heart rate monitor that shows your vital statists on the screen. To get you in the groove the embedded speakers can be a good way to play your favorite workout playlist as you sweat it out each day. NordicTrack Vault will come at a price tag of $2,999 which includes the accessories to put inside the cabinet and a 1-year iFit Family Membership. The intuitive home workout gym is slated to release sometime this year and it’ll be interesting to see how people connect with the idea of personal training of this magnitude.

Why Carry a Wallet When You Can Carry a Biometric Wallet?

Like a clutch, or a purse, but designed for security beyond compare, this sleek slab of metal is the Trova Go… a carrying case for your things, but much more impenetrable and less susceptible to theft.

The Trova Go is a pretty neat way to carry your things. Housed in a sleek, anodized aluminum case, protected by a biometric lock that’s also tied to your smartphone, the Trova Go is a great way to hold your stuff. Cards, cash, valuables, medicines, pen-drives, memory cards, make-up, anything that you want to have around you. Its small form factor means it can be carried in your hand or even your bag, and its neat, simplistic styling and anodization integrates it aesthetically with your lifestyle.

A much cooler and secure alternative to having things in a pouch, wallet, or even your pocket, the Trova Go pairs with the unlock functionality on your phone, allowing you to unlock the case remotely using your fingerprint or even your face. Using authentication techniques we normally reserve for our data, Trova Go brings biometric protection to your real-life things… because just like emails, passwords, and photos, your tangible belongings need proper protecting too!

In the future, smartphone displays will be embedded in our eyewear

Probably for the first time, spectacle wearers may be at a strategic advantage as North acquired all of Intel’s Vault AR patents. The company aims to build and launch, in the near future, smart AR glasses that are incredibly light and indistinguishable from regular glasses. They’re stylish (and look nothing like the abomination that was Google Glass), and come with a module built into the side of the glasses (the stem) that projects an image on your spectacle lens and uses the glass of your eyewear to reflect that image directly onto your retina. The image is seen by you, the wearer alone, and more importantly, can be focus-calibrated according to your eye-power.

Intel has been struggling to get the technology off the bench, but North’s acquisition of its research and its patents may just mean that we, the spectacle wearers, will have AR-enabled HUD eyewear very soon, that may make taking the smartphone out of our pocket an entirely unnecessary activity. The laser projection module can tell you the time, share notifications, even let you browse maps or know who’s calling, and North’s experiments with their own ‘Focal’ series of AR glasses even came with a ring that let you browse through and control your content, as well as Alexa, so you could give commands to your smart-glasses… and while this is an incredible breakthrough, the fact that North’s glasses still look like normal, off-the-shelf prescription eyewear is extremely noteworthy. It shows a realization that wearable technology must conform to the standards of fashion, if it is to see the daylight of mass acceptance. Me, I’m glad that eyewear (something I cried about and hated as a kid) is stepping into an incredible, powerful future, and probably the next time someone calls me ‘four eyes’, I might just be able to google a nasty comeback without them noticing!
