Best Choice Awards
Acer Air Monitor
Featuring real-time monitoring of key air quality indicators through a dedicated app, the Acer Air Monitor also features a breathing LED light indicator on the chassis that fulfils the same purpose.
On top of that, it comes enabled with voice control as it works with the Amazon Alexa. So you can ask it about the air quality with your own voice.
Acer Windows Mixed Reality Headset
The Windows Mixed Reality Headset from Acer lets consumers use software through their gestures, gaze and voice. Along with that, the included motion controllers, connected via Bluetooth, also allow them to interact with digital objects in mixed reality.
The controllers feature a Windows 10 button, touchpad, grab button and constellation lights that are used to sync the headset with the controllers in the virtual space. Since the detecting camera is on the headset, there is no need to set up external hardware for it to work. The headset comes with 6-degrees of freedom positional tracking, including forward/back, up/down, left/right as well as pitch, yaw and roll.
Acer Leap Beads
Melding culture, spirituality and electronics together, Acer’s Leap Beads are smart prayer beads that help practicing Buddhists keep track of the number of times they have chanted.
This is done using a chip tracking how often the beads have been rotated on their hands. In addition, the beads also count digitised merits that can be dedicated using social media. On the health side of things, the device can track sleep and calories as well.
