If you’re not familiar with it already, Kickstarter is a website that helps people crowdfund their projects. Gadgets, games and even movies (like Veronica Mars) have been funded on Kickstarter. It’s simply genius.
Even more genius than the site itself are the projects that are attempting to become a reality on it. These items are all brilliant and, if the campaigns raise enough money, you’ll be able to buy one of your very own!
1.) swivelCard: A Paper USB Business Card.
A swivelCard is a premium paper business card that includes a USB drive, i.e., a smart business card. It includes built-in analytics and can be updated even after giving it out.
2.) Sense: The smart alarm clock that wakes you up at just the right time.
It even records the data and sends audio clips of what woke you up three times last night!
3.) Emberlight.
Want to dim your lights with your phone..or just when you leave/enter the room? Here you go!
