The Glyph produced by Avegant is a virtual reality three-dimensional glasses, but its working principle is very special, by projecting the light of the image on the human eye and then imaging it on the retina.

Air UmbrellaAlthough it is called an air umbrella, it actually looks more like an invisible umbrella, because you can't see the umbrella panel at all. As for the umbrella shaft and handle, many people won't know its purpose when they see it at first time. Air umbrellas mainly use wind energy to protect users from rain. Flowing air can change the trajectory of objects. The faster the air moves, the stronger its energy. The jet of air can also isolate some objects. Therefore, they want to use the airflow to prevent people from getting wet from the rain and let the airflow form an invisible umbrella panel. In addition, because it reduces the need for plastic bags, it is also an environmentally friendly umbrella too. and it has longth control bar to shorten the shaft which release more space in your travel lugguage. 3. prescription for jet lagFor long-distance travelers who have to travel through multiple time zones, jet lag is always the biggest problem. Generally speaking, a jet lag within 1-4 hours will not cause a very obvious physiological reaction. However, if the time difference reaches more than five or six hours, then the strong sickness feeling caused by the time difference will really distouble you very much. The adverse reactions caused by jet lag are mainly manifested in the fatigue of the body that does not adapt to the local time. The most superficial reaction is drowsiness and fatigue. Jet lag changes the original meal time and can also cause loss of appetite and even digestion. Bad symptoms. In addition, the most painful thing is sleep disturbance. Because of the combined effects of some of the above reactions, symptoms such as diarrhea and colds may also occur. For this reason, scientists have found a chemical substance in the brain that can quickly repair the biological clock in our body through various studies. The researcher said: Our principle is to deceive the brain and let it release more vasoactive intestinal peptides, which can repair jet lag. Although this injection has not been promoted, everyone can still look forward to it.4. Smart ringJust like its name, the smart ring adopts an ordinary ring design, which is no different from an ordinary ring in appearance and weight, but once it is worn on the index finger, it can perform a variety of intelligent functions. Through the built-in sensor, the smart ring can recognize the movement of the user's hand and even the fingers, ranging from palm control to small words written by the index finger, allowing you to complete operations in the air. The smart ring also has a built-in Bluetooth module, which can connect to the user's smart phone and complete personalized services through Bluetooth. The user can customize the gesture recognition of each program. As long as the preset action is drawn, the mobile phone can perform the corresponding operation, which is very convenient. and it has a very fashionable operation experience. In addition, when some smart bands receive a call, email, SMS, Facebook and Twitter messages, the LED display of the smart band will automatically light up to remind the wearer. It is worth mentioning that the ring has the function of tracking location too. If you don't remember where the phone is placed, and it is away from your body in a certain rage of distance, it can alarm. 5. Laser virtual keyboardUnlike other keyboards, the laser virtual keyboard does not have any keys. In fact, it does not look like a keyboard product at all. It looks almost like a lighter or a conservative MP3 player. However, it is indeed a keyboard. Although it looks a bit strange, its function is unambiguous: put it "standing" on any flat surface, such as a computer desk, school desk, etc., and then turn on the switch on its side, a keyboard of a virtual image will immediately appear on the desk in front of you.

After being inflated, place it in the space in front of the seat to become an air cushion for feet so that the child can have a relatively loose space to sleep. excellent tool for long hours flight or red eye flight. Extra blanket & pillow.The temperature on an airplane is generally maintained between 16 and 24 degrees. Most people feel cold. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a blanket for the child to prevent catching cold.

Bring toys; ipad; color pens and color books; games and playing cards. Regardless of whether you are traveling with one child or a few, prepare a small bag for each child, which contains the toys, color books and games. Tell them this can only be opened after getting on the plane. The children will be very excited. They will be more willing to fly.These small stuffs can keep your child busy and ignore other uncomfortable feelings in flight. When the child is busy drawing and watching cartoons, they are in calm usually. Snacks, snacks, snacks.

If your child is infant, please prepare a rolling suitcase, the child can be carried infront of you with a baby strap. If they are toddles or teens, buy a backpack, carry the luggage on your back, and free your both hands to hold the child with one and your passport on another. Or buy a two-in-one ride trolley suitcase, which can be carried on the plane and used as a simple rolling ride for children.● During the flight:Check in early, Board on first. Many airlines allow passengers with younger children to board first. This will save a lot of trouble and time. Please make good use of it.Drink enough water. In order to prevent children from being dehydrated on the plane, water needs to be fed regularly to improve the circulation.Walk along the aisle every hours & make toilet stop.

How can we travel light
Many people find out they carry too much in the trip and struggle on luggage transfer from spots to spots, on and off the transportation. big luggage will definitly reduce the fun of the journey. Travel light is much more relaxing, time saving, cost saving and less backache. How can we travel light then? Here are few tips on how you can travel light: ● Make a packing list. a week before your trip start, search for the local weather forecast of the tour destination, make a packing list based on the weather and your trip plan. if you are travling in winter, bring layers rather than a heavy coat. if there is a hiking plan in the tour, bring comfortable walking shoes... this will make sure you will pack right and not to forget anything. ● Option for a smaller suitcase only. You must only bring a carry-on-size backbag or rolling suitcase. The whole point is to travel light and a small suitcase will make sure you pack less. Carry-on luggage is any bag you bring with you on the airplane. It stays with you, as opposed to checked luggage, which goes in the cargo area of the plane. and some airline alllows you to bring another personal item hand bag. what's the size of carry-on bag? carry-on luggage size varies from airline to airline, but the usuall size should be 21*14*9. weight less than 15Ibs. So, you do better look at the airline you’re flying with before packing. ● Bring little. Regardless of the number of days, weeks or months you are going to travel, pack less, packing for the best case scenario. the world is small, even it happens you have miss carried something, you can always buy it on spots. sometimes, it is even cheaper there. ● Tiny bag for your toiletries. if you have booked the 3 star or above hotels, then forget about packing your own toothpast and brushes, unless you really concerned about the cleanness. towers and room slips are available in most of the star hotels, as well as shower jel and shampoo. if you have to prepair them yourself, then bring the mini-size one. Compressed and disposable item is a good option too. ● Maximize bag space. A well organized bag/cuitcase will zoom the space. rolling your clothes tightly rather than fold it, zip them up in packing cubes. don't bring all your shoes. it takes a lot of space. bring earplus instead of headphones... ● Minimal the technology luggage. Tablets, phones, and laptops are great to have at home, but not when you are traveling. They are unnecessary burden specially when you are traveling into mountains and seas. And I am sure to be able to have a close touch and spend more time with mother natural is the whole idea of traveling. A smart phone is enough to have your maps & transportation APPs download. considerate the power charge, an univasal adapter is a must if the country you visit has different outlet. ● Share with your travel partner. if you are traveling with family or friends, share some of the stuff together to avoid over packing. for example, pack only one tower instead two inbetween couples if you are worry about the cleaness of hotel towers; bring one adopter and share it with your friends if you have same brand of mobile phone... how to measure the comfortable level of the lugguage weight you are carrying? You may test yourself if you can go around being a tourist in your hometown for an hour with that bag on your shouder/hand. If you cannot withstand it, then thin things out when you go home. Go casual, simple, and very light. Remember, in your travels you'll meet two kinds of tourists — those who pack light and those who wish they had. pack light will make sure you can enjoy your journey without backache.
