Happy Holidays from Netria! We hope you had a great holiday season and that you have a safe and healthy start to the new year! Despite the holiday break, sourcing strange and unusual items hasn’t stopped for the Netria team. Here are some of the things we sourced this month:
Realwear HMT-1Z1
This is a hands-free tablet! With a headband and eye-level display, this tablet is the new gold standard in wearable technology. Being hands-free, this tablet is voice-operated and has a display that mimics that of a 7” hand-held tablet. Some other features include: noise cancellation, it is PPE-compatible, and has powerful audio with a 3.5mm audio jack for hearing protection. Though currently marketed towards business people and construction workers, this gadget has endless applications!
LEGO Mindstorm Robot Kit

These robots are designed to peak children's interest in the STEM field, teaching coding in a fun and accessible way. These robots come with 17 different design choices and countless programming options for endless learning and fun- a great way to kill that quarantine boredom and keep kids learning!

This very next-level 3D printer is perfect for anyone who is constantly thinking up new ideas or sketching product designs. You can upload a picture, sketch, or design and Glowforge will show you what the item will look like when you hit “print.” Beyond that, Glowforge offers 3D engraving, free web-based software, and is compatible with any phone, computer, or tablet. Additionally, the Glowforge Pro is not limited to printing plastics. This printer can cut wood, fabric, leather, paper, Plexiglas (acrylic), Delrin (acetal), mylar, rubber, Corian, foods, and more.
