Otus – Personal AI Eye Trainer
Otus is a gadget that may not be very cool but it certainly is very useful. It is an eye massager that is designed to help exercise your eyes to keep them sharp and strong.
Otus is for everyone but it is more effective for older people with far-sightedness. It is also great for children. If started early, it helps maintain eye health and delay any impending eye-sight deterioration. It does so by creating a blur-unblur effect which forces your eye muscles to activate and move.
The manufacturer says it can help reduce eye lens correction if used for over 3 months straight but we don't have enough data to back it up yet. But, all I can say is when I tested this gadget, it did relax my eyes. The blur-unblur effect is strong.

ContactGlove – VR Controller Gloves
Most VR headsets in the market come with handheld controllers that are powerful but they are nowhere close to real fingers. The possibilities are limited and the experience is not the best. That is where innovative products like Contact Glove come in,
Contact Gloves are tech-equipped gloves that connect to your VR headset for a super immersive VR experience.
The gloves are easy to wear, lightweight and comfortable. There are many trackers and sensing devices on the gloves that transform your real-life finger and hand gestures into VR equivalent. You can pick up products, write on the board, play games and whatnot. The possibilities are endless.
When I tried them on, I was able to pick up some pens from the floor and write some words on a whiteboard. I also tried making some cool gestures like Yo, thumbs up, etc. At rare times, the gloves did not recognize my finger actions. Overall,

Deeper Connect Pico Review – Decentralized VPN & Gateway
Update: As of July 2022
It has been several months since I received this product (I had backed their Kickstarter project). I have been using it ever since. So far, no issues with it. The ad blocking feature is my favorite. It blocks almost all web ads. But the Youtube ad blocking feature sucks. You need a separate youtube mobile app for this to work and the app is horrible.
Some sites do not work, one example is semrush.com. It did work after I routed semrush site through Asia. Sometimes, google services lag. For example, google analytics throws 'please try again' message but works properly when refreshed a couple of times. I have also noticed that youtube videos sometimes buffer which is annoying. For this reason, I am downgrading my ratings to 3.9/5.
If you are planning to get it, please have a backup modem router functioning alongside. I have two Wifi connections.

Nimble Robotic Nail Painter
OMG. Say “Nimble.” Memorize It. Think: “I will do myself a favor. I will treat myself to the Nimble robotic nail salon.” I am a convert after one use. Its compact, industrial, white shell design matches any decor aesthetic, so I plan to leave it on my desktop near my computer. It will take a direct inquiry (or being caught doing my nails “at work”) for people to know.
I spent only twenty minutes and gazed at a completely dry, smear- and smudge-proof nail polish. It looked as if I had stepped out of a very high end salon. The curve, length and width of my nails were each perfectly painted. Impossible? No, not with the Smart AI technology that operates this compact wizard of nail science.
Whether you are a dress-for-success professional or a busy work-from-home kinda gal, Nimble’s automatic nail polish system gives you the quality of a manicurist’s paint
