\u2026a lighting setup for your webcam<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

For those of us in office jobs, video meetings are going nowhere, so why not look your absolute best while you do them? Logitech\u2019s new webcam light, built for budding streamers, beams out a soft glow that should conceal just how recently you\u2019ve got out of bed. Sensors on the Litra Glow will adjust the brightness to adapt to different skin tones and diffuse the light so that you don\u2019t look like a deer caught in the headlights. Litra Glow has also undergone testing, clearing guidelines to ensure it\u2019s safe to use over long periods of time.<\/p>\n\n

\u2026an electric surfboard<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Awake is a company that specialises in electric surfboards and with the R\u00c4VIK S22, they\u2019re happily claiming it\u2019s the \u201cmost extreme electric surfboard in the world\u201d. Rad, dude. With a top speed of around 56km\/h (35mph) and a 0-50km\/h (0-31mph) acceleration in four seconds, it certainly sounds extreme, tubular even. But with only 15-20 minutes of riding time between charges, you\u2019ll need to cram your bodacious board time into small bursts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u2026a handheld gaming device with the power of a PC<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

From Steam, the big name of PC gaming, the Steam Deck has been hinted at for a while. Now available to buy, the Steam Deck allows you to log in to your entire Steam library on the go and play your games from where you left off on your computer. Where it differs from handheld devices before is in its high-powered processor, which allows for much more demanding games than its competitors. It is expected to have a battery life of between two and eight hours (depending on usage), can be connected to a TV, and at \u00a3349, will be cheaper than most consoles and gaming PCs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u2026an apocalypse-ready jacket<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

As we lurch out of the pandemic, and with the new series of The Walking Dead<\/em> fresh in our minds, we wonder whether it might be time to reassess our wardrobe. Sci-fi British clothing brand Vollebak agrees, and has created a coat tailor-made for Armageddon. World-ending super volcano? This coat has got your back. Flash fires? You\u2019ll be hot, but safe. Zombie invasion? Sure, you\u2019re covered. Vollebak claims its Apocalypse Jacket is made with material that can withstand black lava, flash fires and chemical erosion \u2013 but strangely, we couldn\u2019t find a volunteer to test out their claims. It even features 23 pockets to store your snacks when the world ends.<\/p>\n\n

\u2026headphones that don\u2019t cut you off from the world<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Sony has always been at the forefront of headphone technology and with its latest pair, it\u2019s doing something rather unique. These earbuds feature a hole in them (by design \u2013 don\u2019t worry, no parts are missing). This means you can be more aware of your surroundings and people desperately trying to get your attention while you\u2019re enjoying your music. It includes other clever features like Wide Area Tap, which allows you to control your music by tapping the skin in front of your ear.<\/p>\n\n
