you know that magical dark bean juice that keeps us going every day coffee is a helping hand guiding us through all of life's ups and downs early mornings late nights hinder dates and visits tall people coffee is your very own guardian angel in a cup or a jars that's what you're into coffee is great and there are so many different ways to make it and we would like to introduce yet another one this is sleep shop and it's super simple let me show you how to use it with a little help from my friend Tim Tim likes coffee Tim really likes coffee this is how much Tim likes coffee Tim is here to show you the beauty of oh wait he's done already hi Tim could you do that again thank you sure under nice and slow this time please first of all you need freshly ground coffee and then I'll change water put the lid on turn the broom around and let the coffee steep how long well that depends oh how far you wanna go before you open the love to enjoy a freshly brewed shot see how simple that is but then you're not going to drink all that coffee by yourself are you sharing is caring them and look the inventor of steep shot just happens to be sitting right next to here so Ari what was your inspiration for this burying device my wife wouldn't make herself coffee now she does so simple so sleek so gorgeous this deep shot I mean now let me tell you about how this thing works the process of making coffee boils down to separating the magical bean juice from the bean bits the steaming water makes the air expand underneath delete doesn't give it anywhere to go so pressure happens this allows the coffee to go faster when you turn steep shot on its head and open the valve the pressure is released and coffee shoots out like a sigh of relief simple sleek and gorgeous it doesn't have lots of pipes just the cup and the lip it's pretty much zero waste super portable and most importantly it makes a really good cup coffee and there you have it yet another coffee Kickstarter but you can't have too much of a good thing can you we need your help to further caffeinate the world you know what to do because there are two main things that make fiddlestick different and in my opinion better than all the other frigate toys one and the most important being the loop-the-loop opens up possibilities that no other frigate toy has where you can actually turn this into a skill-based toy or just flick it around like you would your keys I love flicking my keys around when I create in my office when I'm coming up with ideas or I'm sitting down for a creative jam session I found that the number one thing I would do is twist my keys around my finger there was something therapeutic almost hypnotic about it my name is Adam Wilber I'm an inventor and a creator but I'm also a magician I use my hands is my livelihood it's how I feed my children so I really do have something in my hands about 23 hours out of every day and and that really pushed me to realize I'm a fidgeter I think in reality most people off the fiddlestick is very much a fidget toy it has all the fun buttons and dials and tactile fixation tools that you would want out of your fidget toy but it does have a few added bonuses which really takes it to another level right up top the joystick in a perfect organic position got a tactile surface that just feels great on the thumb light switch for clicky buttons pinball wheel and two gears on the right side the worry stone and last but not least is your slider which is set to the perfect tension the other differentiator of the fiddlestick is that it is a bit modulate and what I mean by that is that you can take it as a very slim minimalistic I'm going out and about and I want to keep kind of a low-key fidget or you can say look I'm gonna party I want to be the center of attention and you add on our led attachment when you get a little bit of work into this you go to a party it's light or it's dark outside and you start fiddling you will be the center of attention whether you like it or not with one successful Kickstarter already under our belt we know we can make this happen for the holidays the only thing missing is you we would love to bring the Kickstarter community into the final stages of manufacturing let's have some fun learn some moves give a gift or two and join the fidgets revolution choose a tier below and let's go hello my name is Andrew Paris I'm with Alia life technology we create assistive products for people who are blind or have a visual impairment my grandmother started to lose her vision due to macular degeneration when she found out that she would lose her vision she decided to learn Braille but she couldn't she could finish in New York Times crossword puzzle but she couldn't learn Braille and we found out that she wasn't alone that 99% of people who have a visual impairment can't read Braille so Elia frames as a standard alphabet font customized for tactile reading and because it's a standard alphabet font it can be shared between the sight and hand people have a visual impairment helliya frames is based on the roman alphabet we used the major characteristics of each letter and enclosed them in a frame so it's building on a Razors existing knowledge the frame tells a person where one letter ends and the next letter begins and enables them to systematically explore each letter with the same finger movement and it also tells them where that letter is in the alphabet currently we can print one page at a time we use a printer from the 1990s that we've hacked to create tactile output basically you ask how do you make a new tactile font you have Andrew who has all of the innovative awesome ideas and all the research experience in background and then you need someone to kind of bring certain assets together to actually move things along the printing process is essentially me and the piece of hardware called the Tektronix fazer it was an outdated printer that has definitely been hacked to provide us the tactile output that we need and as efficient as it can give us that efficiency is one page about every 30 seconds it breaks down in each troubleshooting when it works it works and it has been useful for the pilot program but there's a better and a more efficient way we're coming to Kickstarter to ramp up production and bring this to a much larger audience one of the challenges with Braille is that it only comes in one font size because the space between the dots has meaning our alphabet can be scaled so it can be in any font size you need another challenge like Braille is that it really takes an extraordinary person to learn it after the age of 21 they need to be highly motivated they need to be extremely intelligent and they need to have super tactile acuity Elya frames because it's just the standard alphabet customized for touch it can be learned in an afternoon a sighted family member could learn this in a matter of minutes the same thing with a classmate or a co-worker whereas Braille takes months or years to learn Kickstarter for us is a great way to build our community and introduce this system this will be the first time that backers can get their hands on helia frame we hope you help us bring Education Employment literacy and independence
