Samsung Ballie

A rolling AI assistant for your home.

Samsung’s Ballie is a personal home robot that moves autonomously through your space, learns your patterns, and connects to your smart home setup to assist with daily routines.

More than automation—it’s proactive, ambient control.

  • Navigates rooms on its own and adjusts based on your habits

  • Manages lights, appliances, and environmental settings

  • Projects videos, workouts, or calls on your wall or floor

  • Sends video updates of pets or loved ones while you’re away

  • Integrates with Google Gemini for AI-powered personalization

Ballie can turn your house into a living, learning ecosystem—without you having to say a word.

Chigee AIO-6

A smart display made for riders.

The AIO-6 is a 6-inch all-in-one dash for motorcycles that merges safety, entertainment, and real-time riding data into a single touchscreen interface.

Built from rider feedback and tested in the real world.

  • Navigation, dashcam, tire pressure, blind spot detection

  • CarPlay and Android Auto for music, calls, and maps

  • Optional 4G LTE for live GPS tracking, remote access, and SOS crash alerts

  • Supports Insta360 and GoPro live preview + remote camera control

  • Bright 2300-nit screen with ambient light sensors

  • Modular mounts for different bikes: handlebar, suction, BMW Nav Prep

  • IP69K waterproof, glove-friendly touchscreen, over-the-air updates

Everything is rider-first. Even the crash alert system was tuned to avoid false triggers on sharp turns, using Chigee’s lean angle and inertial fusion algorithm.

Haven Tents Spectre

A hammock tent that actually lets you sleep.

Spectre is a lay-flat hammock tent built for backpackers who care about weight but won’t compromise on sleep quality.

It weighs under 5 pounds, packs small, and eliminates pressure points by supporting multiple sleep positions—back, side, or stomach.

  • MONOLITE mesh body for full 360-degree visibility

  • Packs down to 15x6 inches

  • Built-in sleeping pad, no extra gear needed

  • Detachable storm-grade rainfly, standard or Dyneema options

  • Tree or ground setup with Bivy Mode using trekking poles

  • 285 lb weight capacity, optimized for airflow

  • Integrated storage: mesh pockets, gear sling, and ridgeline

Spectre is one of the lightest, most adaptable hammock tents on the market.

Cybersight Guardian

HUD glasses that blend safety and performance.

Guardian from Cybersight turns your sports glasses into a real-time heads-up display, showing speed, heart rate, power, navigation, and alerts—all within your line of sight.

You never have to look down. You stay focused, and aware.

  • Projects stats directly in front of you, with zero distractions

  • Alerts for vehicles approaching from behind, with distance markers

  • Syncs with helmets, radar taillights, heart rate monitors, and bike sensors

  • Built-in turn signal and brake indicators when paired with a smart helmet

  • 39 grams, 8-hour battery, and IP54 water resistance

  • Polarized lenses to reduce glare, plus photochromic tint adjustment

  • Customizable HUD views: Standard, Dashboard, or Focus mode

Designed for cyclists, runners, and outdoor athletes, Guardian brings fighter jet tech to your daily training—without adding bulk.
