Pocket Holograms

If like many of us, you’ve become disillusioned with the miniscule advances made from one smartphone iteration to another, you’re in luck! ‘Red’ have announced the release of the Hydrogen One Media Machine, the first smartphone with 3D image capabilities.

As Red say, "it is no longer necessary to carry (or charge) another device to enjoy multi-dimensional content." The phone has a modular design and allows you to seamlessly switch between 2D and holographic content… And all for a measly $1,195!!

So, the next time you’re inclined to chuck the potato skins you’ve peeled down the waste disposal, stop and think of Angelique.

Ready for boarding!

Looking forward to the summer holidays? Absolutely. If it wasn’t for all the heavy and bulky suitcases. Good thing smart companies are now looking at how to improve our travel experience. We can’t wait for these robot suitcases that follow us wherever we go, charge our phones and look amazing.
