Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there
as well as hyperx here at the parrot Booth we're
discovering there are 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 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 zekes for skipping tracks
adjusting volume and all that kind of cool stuff they are just designed to be
incredibly lightweight at least we hope it's uh up in the air what material
they're actually going to be made of and they include a bunch of smart features 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 uh 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 uh oh wait what the heck is this so this is ground contact time
ground contact time allows you to compensate or maybe not compensate but
at least monitor the way that your gate 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 your back aligned while you're jogging this right here tells you
your vertical oscillation so how much you're bobbing up and down as 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
zek sport so let's say for example you're running around in a on a the
train track not that I recommend doing that please don't run on a train track
but let's say you were you might 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 onto a very
different lifestyle product now I actually reviewed the predecessor SL
more basic version of this not that long ago the flower power but unfortunately
even though uh 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 guess work 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's 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 electr conductive something ink 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 parrot 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
5,000 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 uh 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 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 uh 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 2 L
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
stay in pristine condition very cool
product definitely something for those of us with completely Brown thumbs like
me and uh 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 green protectors they're made of Gorilla
Glass so they're perfectly clear they feel just like the glass on your phone
they're compatible with third party cases and they're super easy to apply
