If you jump for joy whenever you see a new gadget and just can’t wait to get your hands on it, this blog post is for you. We’ve put together a selection of work tech that will make you want to stick around the office a little longer than usual.

TableAir

Feast your eyes on this wonder of desks! By pressing a button and outstretching your hand TableAir switches from a sitting to a standing desk so you get the benefits of both. It rises and lowers to the exact height of your hand and has a groovy customizable LED panel that changes as you wave and do your magic. It’s the closest you can get to Hogwarts in your office.

Slidenjoy

If one screen isn’t enough, three might do the job! Slidenjoy is a device that attaches to the back of your laptop via adhesive magnets and either one or two panels slide out, giving more space to the serious multitasker or professional who needs multiple screens to work with. Slidenjoy gives you the freedom of a laptop with the comfort of a desktop. It also allows the displays to be flipped around or can stand alone for meetings or presentations.

Zuta Printer

In a world where everything is mobile, printers seem to be like Kevin — left behind and home alone. But get rid of the entire device, put the printhead on wheels and let it run across paper, and you have the ZUtA Pocket Printer, a cool, wireless, mouse-sized printer breezing away doing its thing. Bring it anywhere, align it with the upper left-hand corner and just push print.

Pocketscan

Scanning just exploded with the world’s smallest wireless scanner. Pocketscan is the size of a business card but can scan surfaces of any size with the press of a button. It connects via Bluetooth and lets you view the scans on your devices real time, turning text and tables into editable content. It even has a translation feature and supports a bunch of languages.

Ubi Touch

Correction, this is the tech that puts you right into the Charms classroom at Hogwarts! Ubi turns every surface into a touchscreen and detects gestures across that surface, allowing users to control their computer and annotate anything using the screen. You can also use a Ubi pen to do this but let’s face it, waving is just so much more fun.

Joan Assistant

Puff! Meeting room drama just vanished for good because of an e-paper display. Think Kindles on conference room doors displaying meeting information and happily scheduling your next breakthrough, and you get Joan Assistant. It ends the continual hassle of meetings (scheduling them and being there) by making sure everybody has their meeting space when they need it and getting rid of meeting interruptions. And it’s green, like really green.
