As standalone virtual and mixed reality headsets gain higher resolution displays and become more ubiquitous, equally as capable cameras become more essential. Ricoh, who has been consistently unveiling plenty of consumer VR-ready recording devices over the years, has that need covered with its latest releasing. The new Ricoh Theta Z1 is the company’s next iteration of 360-degree cameras, touting a 23MP sensor, the ability to capture 7K stills, an enhanced processing algorithm and more.

When it comes to video doorbells, there are two companies that rule the roost, generally speaking. You’ve got Nest’s Hello Smart Video Doorbell and the Ring Video Doorbell (which has multiple models). There are plenty of third-party options on Amazon, as well. But one company has been trying to shake up the industry, and that’s Remo+. With the launch of its latest RemoBell S, Remo+ aims to provide a $99 price point with 3-days of cloud storage included with every purchase.

Back in late 2017 we covered Replicade’s first release, a miniature Centipede arcade machine. In the past year and a half, more titles have been released and New Wave Toys’ has no plans of slowing down. This year at Toy Fair, the company showcased its past arcade machine collectors items and gave us our first look at its upcoming releases, including a Replicade Asteroids cabinet, token machine USB hub and more.

Over the past few years, Sphero has released a variety of smartphone-controlled robots geared towards Star Wars fans, those looking to get into coding and more. Today, Sphero is taking emphasizing the latter of those two, with the debut of a fully-programmable robot geared towards makers and the overall STEAM market. Sphero RVR is the company’s most customizable robot to date, featuring a suite of sensors, integrations and more to facilitate learning to program. Head below for a closer look.

Bandai has been partnering with LucasArts for some time now to release scale recreations of characters, vehicles and more from the Star Wars universe. In the past we’ve seen detailed astromech droids and screen-accurate Sith Lords, but now we’re getting something a little different. The company has announced that it will be tackling its largest in-world starship yet; the Star Destroyer. Measuring over a foot long, Bandai’s Star Destroyer Model Kit aims to recreate the crux of the Imperial fleet. Head below for a more in-depth look.

Thunderbolt 3 is an amazing technology. It was a vast improvement over old USB 3.0 and even SATA, as we jumped from 5Gbps to 40Gbps, and went from multiple cables to just one for everything. Thunderbolt 3 introduced a new standard to dock your mobile workstation at a desk and get power, video, and data through a single connection. Glyph, a leader in external storage solutions, just announced a new Thunderbolt 3 Dock and Atom Pro NVMe SSD.

The Thunderbolt 3 Dock is built to be the center of your workstation. The dock gives many great features that are lacking on Apple’s latest MacBooks, like SD and Ethernet. Plus, it takes one USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port and turns it into two. The Atom Pro NVMe SSD is Glyph’s “fastest SSD yet”. With insane read/write speeds, it offers an enhanced workflow option for mobile workstations.

When most people think of speakers, you most likely think of either a Bluetooth speaker or surround sound models that don’t look that great. Sure, the sound might be good, but if only you could just hide that speaker somewhere and enjoy fantastic sound. That’s where the Q Acoustics Concept 300 comes in.

The Concept 300 from Q Acoustics brings form and function together in one elegant package. The stunning aluminum and braided wire stand is like non-other, and Q Acoustics’ well-known name in speakers will give you audio quality like non-other.

When it comes to converting your home and making it smart, for lighting, there are really just two main options. Smart light bulbs or smart light switches. Though both have more budget-friendly and higher-end options, the switch is generally the more cost-effective solution unless you get a fancy model. Orro is one of those higher-end products and offers an identical design as a normal switch. What makes Orro different? Its specialized software that helps automatically set the lights in your rooms to proper levels.

Orro uses pattern-detection algorithms to customize itself. Through these algorithms, Orro will try to make sure that your lights are brightening and dimming throughout your day as light generally does, either gently brightening or dimming them in the morning and evenings respectively.

Whether you’ve gone hiking or even just walked around with your camera or binoculars, you know the struggle of trying to keep your gear from getting damaged. One thing I hate when going on trips is trying to keep my camera and lenses readily accessible, yet also safe from swinging around behind me and also just not in my hands. That’s where the Cotton Carrier Skout Sling comes in. It’s built to go across your chest and hold your camera or binoculars and has a patented twist and lock system that makes your gear both easy to insert or remove, regardless of what gear you have.

The Skout is designed to carry things in a fixed position, meaning that you can go biking, hiking, running, or just walking and have no issue with anything moving around. It can handle larger cameras, smaller systems, or even compact binoculars with ease.

If you look at Sonos and Ikea, the companies are quite different. While Sonos generally focused on higher-quality and higher-priced products, Ikea is known for its budget-friendly items. Last year, however, the two companies showed us a possible design for a budget speaker line. Now, Sonos and Ikea have confirmed that the Symfonisk line of smart speakers should be available in August.

The Symfonisk lineup of smart speakers will be built by Ikea but powered by Sonos, while being compatible with other speakers from the company. In a video outlined below, both Ikea and Sonos representatives spoke to what this line will represent: speakers built so you think about the sound, not how big the speaker is.
