Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit store dot phantom dot glass for the best darn screen protectors out there as well as hyperx here at the parrot booth were discovering their about so much more than just drones that fly around these days they've got follow-ups to a couple of their existing products right here we've got the parrot Zeke sport now this is very early stages right now for this headset like these are 3d printed like prototypes do not touch but I can tell you a little bit about them they are designed for as you may or may not be able to figure out all on your your very own they're designed for sports active lifestyle that kind of stuff and they are designed for listening to music just like the original Zeke headphones so let's walk through a bit of a bit of a tour here so they go in your ears and actually built into the in-ears is a heart rate monitor they've got these pads on the sides that are designed to make them more comfortable as well as to give you touch control just like the original Zeke's for skipping tracks adjusting volume and all that kind of cool stuff they are designed to be incredibly lightweight at least we hope it's up in the air what material they're actually going to be made of and they include a bunch of smart feature so they connect via bluetooth as you'd probably expect from a parrot product and check this out this is the app that has got a lot more detail than I would have expected to find and certainly more than more than any other Fitness wearable that I've seen so far so yeah you've got your heart rate tracking you've got your steps per minute you've got your oh wait what the heck is this so this is ground contact time ground contact time allows you to compensate or not maybe not compensate but at least monitor the way that your gait is balance while you're running so if you are leaning more heavily on your right or your more dominant foot this can help you correct it by telling you oh hey you're actually not running evenly you want to make sure you're keeping your back aligned while you're jogging this right here tells you your vertical oscillation so how much you're bobbing up and down is you're running and this right here is really cool so just by using this slider you can control how much active noise cancellation you're getting out of the Zeke sport so let's say for example you're running around and out of the on AB dub train track not that I recommend doing that please don't run on a train track but let's say you were want to just turn your noise cancellation off so that if the train comes you know what's going on but let's say for example you want to be completely in your own world you don't want to know what's going on boom turn the noise cancellation up to maximum and you can tune out the rest of the world no idea when this one's coming but looks pretty cool so far on to a very different lifestyle product now I actually reviewed the predecessor / more basic version of this not that long ago the flower power but unfortunately even though it pretty much takes care of your plant for you it doesn't quite because it just gives you a notification tells you hey you should probably move me to where there's more or less sunlight or hey you should probably give me some water this one pretty much takes all of the guesswork out of it so this is the h2o and unlike the flower power it now comes with a built-in water reservoir so if the plant is running dry it can automatically dispense it it still got the same sensors so right on the top you're going to find a water sensor on the bottom here you've got what is it electroconductive something Inc some kind of fancy ink that measures fertilizer levels you've also got the water sensor and then temperatures measured both inside the housing here for within the soil and then at the top of the housing here for the ambient air around the soil but that's not actually the highest end one this one doesn't have a release date or estimated pricing or anything like that but this is the parent pot and this one is even even more intelligent and self-contained yet again for the ultimate plant dummy so it takes advantage of the same flower power app so you can go through the what is it five thousand plant database or something along those lines i'm not getting confirmation but it's something like that you just basically select what kind of plant you have in it and then it's got all these incredible monitoring and smart maintenance tools so you can go ahead and look at not just the real time stats and those are those are really freaking cool so you can actually see in the demo one they have it set up so that I can force it to water the plant even though it's not supposed to and you can see the soil moisture level to go up and go up and go up and you can actually go ahead and put your hand over the light sensor that's here at the yeah at the top of the pot and you can see the light level go down down down real time on the graph but you can also see all the historical data and get status updates that give you a a clear idea of how to make sure that your plant is properly taken care of now it's got a two liter reservoir you go ahead and fill that on the side right here and then it has I alluded to before the little the little water sprayer so it actually has four little water jets that are fed by a pump that come up the sides and then spray the whole entire top of the soil nice and evenly to make sure that your plant stays in pristine condition very cool product definitely something for those of us with completely brown thumbs like me and I think that pretty much wraps it up I want to definitely thank our sponsor so remember guys we're powered here at the show by phantom glass they've got their awesome phantom glass screen protectors are made a gorilla glass so they're perfectly clear they feel just like the glass on your phone they're compatible
