This week I’ve got four awesome videos for you, all of them featuring products that would be so cool to have, but you can do easily without. Or maybe just gift one of them to your partner, so you can secretly enjoy it too ;)

Theme | GADGETS
Live streaming via glasses

Snap Inc. (formerly known as Snapchat) has released sunglasses with a built-in camera, aimed at live streaming 10 seconds videos of your day. Without the use of your hands, you can share your best moments with family and friends. Vloggers dream?!

Theme | MUSIC
Music in a cloud!

This beautiful Bluetooth home speaker system is called Cloud. The inner LED lights change color to match the music. A magnetic base makes it levitate above the surface giving it a magical look. It doesn’t come cheap though..

Theme | VIRTUAL REALITY
Printing in augmented reality?

Send your movies / GIFs / Snapchat videos to this ingenious Lifeprint printer. Doing so, makes you able to scan all prints with the matching app and relive your finest moments in augmented reality!

Theme | GADGETS
Make everything into a touch pad

How about using a banana for a space bar? Making a game controller out of a piece of paper? Making your stairs into a piano? Check out this fun MaKey MaKey kit from former students at MIT and turn ordinary objects into touchpads.

Event | DLD 2017
DLD 2017

On January 17th we joined the last day of DLD 2017 and micro-blogged via Twitter. The conference was held in Munich (GE). Here’s a summary of our tweets and the most important tweets during the 3-day conference. With speakers from Philymack, The Sync Project, BMW, Cambridge Analytica and many more.

Add your own videos and maybe they will feature in the next TIS Weekly. Questions? Remarks? Ideas? hello@tis.tv is the address! From TIS with love, Simone de Bruin.
