Makes pixel-art displays and Bluetooth speakers, including the Pixoo photo frames, Ditoo retro-computer speaker and Timebox. Owners draw their own animations in an app and push them to the LED grid.

Weird Tech & Useless Gadgets

Combines magnetic levitation with product design to make objects that float and spin in mid-air, including a levitating light bulb and a levitating planter. The whole point is the wow when someone notices.

Desk Toys & Fidgets

Weird Tech & Useless Gadgets

Makes the LaMetric TIME, a pixel smart clock that also shows weather, countdowns, notifications and internet radio on its LED matrix. It is a desk object that turns data feeds into 8-bit-looking tiles.

Weird Tech & Useless Gadgets

An invention kit that turns any conductive object into a computer key, so a banana becomes a piano and Play-Doh becomes a game controller. It is sold as an education tool but is mostly used to make deliberately ridiculous interfaces.
