Leading a smarter life is crucial in this hyper-digital world. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has further increased the demand for AI and IoT-enabled technologies. The technology that is available to us even in our homes is significantly more advanced than what was conceivable just a few years ago. Technology not only makes our life easier but also streamlines and systemises it.
Here is our pick of smart gadgets that will entertain you, brighten your day and also make it more enjoyable and manageable. XGIMI’s plug-and-play 4K home projector, XGIMI Horizon Pro, lets you enjoy uninterrupted, hassle-free movie time, binge-watch your favorite TV show, or immerse yourself in a gaming experience. This 300-inch Android Wi-Fi smart projector will turn on in just 7 to 8 seconds. With the latest adaptation of screen and bright projection technology, Horizon Pro offers you crystal clear colours and sharp images – irrespective of the environment’s brightness. The in-built AI technology provides automatic keystone adjustment that will scale the images and angles to adapt to a brighter ambience. With a manual keystone, the screen can be projected at a lateral angle of up to 45 degrees. Horizon Pro’s cutting-edge screen detection matches the users’ screen size with that of the projected image. An Android television is also compatible with the 4K UHD projector with its integrated dual 8W Harmon Kardon sound system. With the Wi-Fi-enabled Wipro Smart LED Bulbs, optimal lighting is just a click away. Both the lights and these bulbs can be turned on and off with your smartphones. Available in 7W, 9W, and 12W power ratings, they offer a two-year warranty period. They also have a longer life (50,000 hours) than the normal LEDs. The Wipro Next Smart Home app can be obtained from the Google Play store and paired with the Wi-Fi in the home. Whether it is being used at night, while reading, during a meeting, or during leisure, you can pre-set the colour moods of the bulb. Depending on our requirements, the color brightness and saturation can be changed to warm white light, dim white light, or bright neutral white. If you are far from home, the Wipro Smart Bulb will automatically turn on with the automatic schedule feature. It can also be turned off with the help of a timer. The lights can be controlled with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant as the bulbs are IoT-enabled. These do not depend on smart hubs, unlike the first generation bulbs.
