with July coming to an end it's time we take a peek around the corner and see what new technology is headed our way from an Android version of Windows continuum to a pillow that yells at you if you start snoring this is top Kickstarter's of the month hello everybody I'm Krista Laura and every month we'd like to take a look at the top Kickstarter projects and see how they work see how much money they raised and now this first project is pretty interesting if you ever been forced to play with the Windows Phone this may seem familiar I'm just kidding when those ones are okay Microsoft made an accessory called continuum allowing your Windows Phone to plug into a monitor allowing your phone to transform into a fully functional desktop setup but there's only one huge palm with this elf and that was well you have to have a windows phone just kidding they're not that bad but now us android users have our own continuum called the Superbook the Superbook is a device that transforms your Android smartphone into a laptop and what's crazy is that this isn't a device that's a middleman between your phone in your laptop the Superbook is the laptop and this kind of a shell of a laptop meaning you have the display you have the trackpad and have the keyboard but internally there's no processing hardware that comes from your phone by simply connecting it to the laptop shell via USB and it's all things to the end romia map made by the creator's themselves and dro miam once you plug the phone in the app launches and mimics a desktop setup you have your desktop wallpaper apps and icons thrown on their folder management and even a cursor and it's much easier to do things like edit documents or write code on a full keyboard trackpad and a large display versus a small touch screen and it's also a great way to keep everything in sync between your phone and pretty much your laptop you can connect to the internet using your phone's Wi-Fi and even data and you can even access is Bluetooth capabilities as well but what's really amazing is that the Superbook would only cost $99 if it reaches its kickstarter goal so that means if you or a family member needs a laptop to surf the web or edit documents and they already have a phone there's no need to buy a $300 plus laptop because the Superbook cost a fraction of the price and is less complicated with this unified experience so did Andrew miam get enough support to bring the Superbook to the market well they were aiming for a goal of 50 thousand dollars and there's still 22 days to go so anything is possible but for now well yeah they received 1 million dollars so it's coming the next kickstarter project is the Zeke smart pillow the world's most sophisticated pillow the pillow can do it all it can stream music stops snoring analyze your sleep and intelligently wake you up we spend a third of our lives in bed and as depressing as it sounds it makes you realize how important it is to make sure we spend that time of our lives comfortable and make sure we are wasting it by getting quality sleep to start the Zeke smart pillow can help you fall asleep by actually streaming music from your phone out of the speakers from inside the pillow and since your ears are actually going to be resting on the pillow itself you'll be the only one able to hear the music so you won't disturb your bedmate once you're asleep Zeke will monitor your sleep cycles by tracking your movement determining when you're in a deep sleep or light sleep it'll vibrate to wake you up if you set an alarm but it'll do this intelligently waking up a few minutes before your alarm if you happen to be in a light sleep cycle also the Zeke can listen for snoring and is very precise with this measurement being to the decibel if she catches you snoring it'll gently vibrate to encourage a new sleeping position and of course it's comfortable Warwick Bell and Miguel Marrero were seeking a goal of 50 thousand dollars and they still have pretty much an entire month to go but they were ready reached well past their goal with two hundred and ten thousand dollars pledged so that was a world smartest pillow now how about the world's smartest backpack called the TLS connect you ever start packing for vacation and start to get really stressed trying to make sure you packed everything and then you're at your destination and it's time to go home and once again you have to make sure you have everything but it's vacation times it's not time to be getting stress and the same can be said for going to school are going to work but with the TSL connect back pack made by twist you will know at all times what's in your backpack or what's missing from it by tracking it with a nap yep this backpack knows what items are inside it and it will alert you when something is missing and this all things to these little tracker stickers that you put on your valuable items they communicate with sensors in the backpack thanks to radio frequency identification which uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track objects through a radio signature you can then name each tracker depending on what item it's on and that's it the backpack will then monitor when each tracker is removed and alert you when something is missing you can travel back and forth with peace of mind knowing your items are safe without even opening your backpack now twist the creators of TSL connect we're seeking a pretty huge goal of three hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars and so far they've only received 27,000 so they still got a long way to go but there's still 32 days left so they got plenty of time and remember if you're interested in supporting any of these projects you can find them in the link below lastly we have a keyboard where the keys change color depending on the notifications you receive is called das keyboard 5q is based around the idea that instead of having tons of alerts reminders and alarms popping up on your phone or hidden and Calendar apps or other websites you can keep track of notifications by using the color of the keys on the desk keyboard 5q a premium feeling open API RGB mechanical keyboard each key can be programmed to a sir notification or alarm a reminder and thus alert can be anything on the Internet maybe emails from your boss at work or maybe an ending ebay auction or a new upload from android authority on youtube you can link this alert to a key or multiple keys on your keyboard and then customize the color of it so let's say you have a show starting in four hours the key could be blue and over time it'll slowly start turning purple as the time approaches until the show has started and you could start blinking or really do whatever you want is up to you to program it and it's supposed to work with the subconscious so in your peripheral vision you'll always know just how far away an upcoming event is you can track it without even thinking about it you can do this for messages from certain contacts or even fun things like when a goal is scored at your favorite sports team the possibilities are endless this project is just about over if only a few hours left to go and desk keyboard has eat five hundred and thirty one thousand dollars of their $100,000 goal well that'll do it for this installment of top Kickstarter's of the month if you want to
