January GADGETS<br />
The new<br />
you<br />
Here’s some tech<br />
that will help you<br />
start the New Year<br />
on the right foot:<br />
the happy and<br />
healthy one<br />
THE CUBE<br />
Portable cinema<br />
This mini projector will make you the<br />
hit of your household, neighbourhood<br />
and maybe even your next airBaltic flight.<br />
The tiny aluminium box (5 cm x 5 cm x<br />
5 cm) lets you transform any flat surface<br />
into a vivid, 120-inch display. The image<br />
is larger than nearly any TV screen that<br />
you can buy, and the intensity of colours<br />
is really excellent considering the area<br />
that is covered. Comes with a flexible<br />
tripod, remote control, charger and<br />
range of cables.<br />

HAPIFORK<br />
Eat with your hands-on<br />
OK, a Wi-Fi fork might not have<br />
exactly been at the top of your list for<br />
Santa. But you know that slower eating<br />
can improve digestion, aid in weight loss<br />
and improve general well-being. So why<br />
not do something about it? This French<br />
designed fork’s raison d’être is to bring<br />
awareness to your eating habits by giving<br />
off a gentle vibration alert when you’re<br />
chowing down too quickly. It’s Bluetooth<br />
4.0/LTE enabled, letting you stream<br />
real-time data to your smartphone.<br />
Comes in blue, green and pink, with a<br />
colour-coordinated case.<br />

REMEE<br />
Sweeter dreams<br />
are made of this<br />
The world’s first comfortable<br />
and affordable lucid dreaming<br />
sleep mask transmits subtle<br />
flashing red LED signals to<br />
your sleeping brain. The signals<br />
are intense enough to amplify<br />
your dreams, but won’t wake<br />
you up. An online tool lets you<br />
programme and personalise the<br />
signals, enabling a combination<br />
of patterns, timings and<br />
brightness to suit your individual<br />
sleep style. The stylish fabric<br />
shell comes in five vivid colours,<br />
and the battery (which is<br />
included!) lasts for six months.<br />
Add positive energy to your<br />
dreams – and to your sleep.<br />

SLOW JUICER<br />
Vegetative states<br />
This beautiful new appliance,<br />
done up in Smeg’s iconic 1950s<br />
style, lets you produce amazing<br />
cold-pressed juices from fresh<br />
fruits and vegetables right in your<br />

technology keeps in vitamins,<br />

your juice. Bring some real change<br />
to your health in 2017.<br />
