**Sterilization and UV Light Technology**

In a recent discovery, it has been found that the longer you hold a surface in one place, the more intense the color will become when exposed to UV light. This phenomenon demonstrates the effectiveness of UV sterilization technology, which kills germs and bacteria on surfaces. The UV light emitted from the device illuminates the surface, allowing for a visual representation of its sterilization success rate. The device itself is small, with a magnetic plate that attaches to any phone with a 3mm adhesive, making it compatible with both iPhone 12 and 13 models as well as other devices.

The UV light also serves as a indicator of the device's effectiveness, allowing users to see the intensity of the color change as they sterilize their surfaces. This feature provides an average reading of the surface area sterilized and the number of germs killed, giving users a clear understanding of their device's performance. The device itself is powered by USB-C and connects to iPhones via MagSafe or a magnetic plate that can be attached to any phone.

**Chipolo Card Spot**

Another innovative product that caught our attention is the Chipolo Card Spot. This smart card is designed to help users keep track of their wallets, keys, and other important items. The device has an IPX5 water resistance rating and boasts a two-year battery life, making it a reliable companion for daily use. One of the standout features of the Chipolo Card Spot is its native integration with Apple's Find My app, allowing users to easily locate their misplaced items.

The device also includes a built-in speaker, which emits a sound when activated, helping users locate their item around the house. Additionally, users can activate "Lost Mode" on their iPhone, which sends out notifications to nearby Apple devices when they leave their item behind. This feature creates a community of users who can help each other find lost items, making it easier for users to recover their misplaced belongings.

**OWC Announcements**

OWC has made some exciting announcements at CES this year, including the introduction of two new products: View Pollution and Vue Radon. The first product, View Pollution, is a flexible pad that measures air pollution levels in real-time, providing users with valuable information about their surroundings. This device is designed to be compact and portable, making it easy to take with you on-the-go.

The second product, Vue Radon, is a similar device that measures radon levels in the air. Both devices are flexible pads with a high degree of accuracy and are designed to provide users with reliable data about their environment.

**Boogie Board Note Pads**

Boogie Board has introduced two new note pad products at CES this year: flexible sticky notes and a compact stackable design. The note pads feature a magnetic pen that can erase the entire surface with just one tap, making them perfect for jotting down quick notes or ideas. The devices are flexible and can be used in various orientations, making them highly versatile.

The Boogie Board Note Pads also come in different sizes, including smaller options that are ideal for writing on-the-go.

This feature provides users with an efficient way to capture ideas and notes without cluttering up a dedicated notebook.

magsafe mounted uv light that is used to sterilize different objects and surfaces while attaching to the back of your iphone and it doesn't just use uv light to sterilize surfaces it also uses a companion app to give you an idea of what you've covered and what you haven't covered and how many germs that you've killed in the sterilizing process so here you can see we're using augmented reality the developer is using tensorflow as the augmented reality kit and it's able to detect things like solid surfaces as well as your hand so it doesn't want you to be able to use the uv light on skin but it will use it to cover books or surfaces or whatever it is that you have in front of you the longer you hold it in one place the more intense the color is letting you done letting you know that you've done a better job sterilizing that surface and then afterward it gives you an average of the surface that you've sterilized and how many germs that you've killed of various types the card itself is quite small you can see the uv light there at the top it charges up over usbc and as i mentioned at the beginning it connects to your iphone 12 or iphone 13 via magsafe but anyone can use this because it can connect to the phone with an included magnetic plate that just attaches to really any phone with a 3m adhesive next up chipolo this is the chipolo card spot what i am very excited about this year it is an ipx5 water assistance card with a two year battery life that works natively with the find my app so this will work similar to an air tag but it does not have the ultra wide band technology but it still has a speaker inside of it so you can just find your wallet as well as getting left behind alerts if you should walk out of a restaurant with your wallet sitting on the table you can put it into a lost mode so you can use the larger find my community of apple users anyone who has a mac iphone or ipad comes near your chapolo card spot it can send that location back to you so you can track your wallet down and you'll get those left behind alerts if you leave your wallet anywhere otherwise it's very similar to an air tag and you can make it emit a sound if you're trying to find it around the house error things has two new products this year at show stoppers there's the view pollution as well as the vue radon so they've had the vue plus for out for a while which is kind of what you see here on the left where it can record multiple things but the view radon and vue pollution are more niche products that are specifically measuring certain things like we're looking at pollution really with the view pollution and that radar level with the view radon not gonna lie i'm entirely sold on these new flexible pads from boogie board basically you can use them like a sticky note write whatever you want on it use your finger use your apple pencil use the included stylus and then when you're done you can go ahead and tap on that little corner and it'll erase the whole thing but it's entirely flexible it's not a whole tablet by itself and you can even stack it together with other boogie board notepads uh to make kind of like a stack of them on your desk there are smaller sizes here as well as the larger size depending on what you need leave the note on there as long as you need and then go ahead and just tap it with the magnetic pen in the corner and it'll erase itself you can see one that's really been messed up and boom just like that back to completely blank and you can use your finger whatever you want to write on it when you need to owc is always good for some new gear sces and this year is no different now the mini stack stx i believe came out before ces but if you're not familiar is a thunderbolt 4 storage solution as well as a thunderbolt 4 hub it has a form factor of the new uh mac mini but it'll work with any thunderbolt for enabled mac other than that we have a new atlas s pro sd card with some pretty ridiculous speeds we have a new cfast 2.0 card reader very small and compact as well as lightweight and it is bus patterned you can see go ahead and stick your cfast 2.0 card in there and read it on your iphone

then we're moving over to posio i believe is what this is called and this is for those that are really privacy focused your iphone has an always-on microphone it listens to you all the time waiting for you to say those macho keywords to invoke siri but posio here actually will help block out the microphone on your phone there's a speaker at the bottom that's emitting a noise that you can't hear
