In this video.
Xiaomi Transparent TVCool as a piece of art with obvious limits such as 1080p and a picture-versus-transparency paradox; 7/10.
Invisibility ShieldNot useful for most people but a great working science lesson; 8/10.
Futuristic Hubless E-BikeLooks futuristic but is heavy and dysfunctional with non-existent support, making it an expensive prop.
Soundbeamer Directional SpeakerAstonishing focused-sound effect, but not worth buying yet given the lost sound quality; 9/10 for futuristic.
Magic MirrorSlick software and good for people without a trainer, though the 'personal trainer replacement' claim is overblown; 8/10.
Ray-Ban Meta Smart GlassesThe first product in its category that delivers on its promise, with surprisingly good photos; 9/10.
Looking Glass PortraitA mind-blowing holographic display with a ChatGPT demo; he gave it 10/10 for taste of the future.
Woojer StrapAdds convincing low-level immersion to games and music, though it can't fake a crash.
Morf StrapA pricey but surprisingly versatile phone strap that works as a mount; 7/10.
Gravastar Ferrofluid SpeakerSurprisingly cool ferrofluid display that reacts to sound, with some quality control issues; 8/10.
Uni-ball Kuru Toga 0.5mm Self-Sharpening Mechanical PencilThe self-rotating lead really works, but he only gave it 6/10.
Gravastar ChargerA 65W charger where you pay for the design rather than anything futuristic, scored 5/10.
Gravastar EarbudsPremium-feeling and good fit, but one earbud failed to connect and the bottle-opener case is daft; 3/10.
Gravastar Bluetooth SpeakerLooks cool with nice lighting but sounds like a $50 speaker; 5/10.
Bioluminescent OrbThe glowing algae looks impressive when shaken, but is impractical; 6/10.
LED Northern Lights LampLovely reflections from the glass, but cheap LEDs, a remote and a dead rotation motor; 4/10.
Nike Go FlyEaseThe hands-free hinged shoe won him over completely, though durability is unproven; 9/10.
Timekettle Translation EarbudsSeamless real-time translation that earns a spot in his travel bag, despite a paywalled offline app and cheap build; 8/10.
Airwheel SR5Cool that it follows you, but the weak obstacle sensors mean he wouldn't trust it with valuables; 5/10.
Airwheel SE3SHugely fun to ride, but a weak suitcase with a tiny capacity and a doubtful website.
