Smart cars, smart speakers, smart headphones. It seems these days that everything is becoming smart, with perhaps the exception of people themselves. One of the latest innovations we’re starting to see is things around our home becoming “smart.” When it comes to converting a home from not-smart to smart, it can be quite costly.

Replacing all of the blinds in your home can be a huge pain, as well as quite expensive. That’s where iBlinds comes in. For $75, iBlinds can convert existing 2-2.5-inch horizontal blinds into Z-Wave controlled blinds.

Taking the guesswork out of homebrewing can be a tricky proposition. This hobby has seen a rise in interest over the last few years with various manufacturers offering automated systems. One of which is Brewie. After unveiling its first model a few years back, it’s making a return on the first day of March with its second generation homebrew kit.

While there are various ways to jumpstart your at-home brew setup, Brewie looks to simplify things in an attractive aluminum package. Naturally, it’s also iPhone-connected so you can monitor levels and progress while your beer is taking shape. On top of that, Brewie has a number of enhancements that should make for a smoother experience all around.

Getting stable video can sometimes be a challenge. Whether you’re capturing video with your smartphone, action camera, or DSLR, keeping the camera from shaking is always a pain. That’s where handheld gimbals come in, though generally, they can set you back a pretty penny. There are smartphone gimbals like the DJI Osmo Mobile, and when it comes to action cameras, there’s the GoPro Karma Grip.

If you want to stabilize your DSLR, however, those options are slightly more expensive and can be harder to use, depending on what you get. Kylin M aims to change just that by providing a single stabilizer that works with all types of cameras, from beginners with phones, to professionals with the Panasonic GH5, the Kylin M can balance them all.

Wacom has been in the drawing tablet game for some time, and through the years has enabled artists, designers and engineers with first-class creative workstations. Now, the company is taking that a step further, and today unveiled its new Cintiq Pro Engine, a compact PC module that converts its Wacom tablets into standalone PCs. Packing high-end GPUs and more into its slim design, the Cintiq Pro Engine looks to change how digital artists create.

Kingston has become a household name when it comes to electronics. I have many of the company’s products around my home, from SD card readers to its HyperX series of RAM, Kingston offers a wide variety of accessories. Recently, however, Kingston announced the Nucleum and DataTraveler Bolt Duo adapters for Apple devices, as well as the MobileLite Duo 3C.

Fitness trackers come in all kinds of form-factors these days. But if you can’t bear to slap a Fitbit on your wrist alongside your favorite watch, then Level may be the fitness tracking solution you’ve been searching for. The smartphone-enabled glasses offer just about all the functionality of a traditional wearable like step count, exercise time and more.

Virtual reality is finally starting to become more mainstream. Prices are coming down on headsets, and more content is becoming available. Many companies are starting to get into the virtual reality space, and even more are trying to create wire-free experiences.

One downside to virtual reality has always been the cables required for high-quality content. But, that might change with Qualcomm’s latest product.

When we first heard about the upcoming collaboration between IKEA and Teenage Engineering, it was a little curious. The boutique electronics/music production products coming out of the Teenage Engineering camp the last several years really didn’t suggest an IKEA feature was on the way. But the company’s intersting sense of minimalism and unique design approach certainly fit in with some of the sensibilities IKEA has always been known for.

The upcoming FREKVENS (translates to frequency) party product line from IKEA and TE is still somewhat mysterious, all things considered, but we did get a nice update and some new imagery courtesy of an official IKEA Instagram post today.

Just ahead of this year’s New York Toy Fair, we’re seeing the latest editions to the popular 3Doodler sets. Once it was just a campaign on Kickstarter, now this popular 3D pen and sets are a favorite among kids and adults alike. The newest 3D pen made specifically for kids is called Start, and there are a number of new creative packages that will be available in only a few months.

Leica is well-known for making high-end cameras for photographers. With crazy good sensors, amazing color science, and flawless glass in its lenses, owning a Leica is much like owning a Lamborghini; expensive and prestigious.

The Leica Q is a well-known camera when it comes to high-end photography. With a 24.2MP full-frame sensor and a fixed 28mm f/1.7 lens, you’re going to be hard-pressed to take “bad” photos when using the Leica Q. But, the Q isn’t entirely new. What’s new is the limited “Snow Edition” for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

As parents, we always want to know where our kids are at any given moment and to know that they are safe. Omate, a kids smartwatch maker has joined forces with a toy manufacturer to produce a new smartwatch with location tracking to help parents gain peace of mind. It’s called the Omate x Nanoblock and it has a ton of security features as well as a few enjoyable ones for your kids too.
