Our pick of the month’s smartest tech
Opal Tadpole webcam

Marketed as the world’s first portable webcam, the Opal Tadpole is tiny and surprisingly affordable. Despite its small size, the camera features a directional mic that blocks surrounding noise, and offers an unexpectedly high-quality 4K camera. It can be clipped on top of any laptop and taken anywhere.

Humane AI Pin

This device will seem familiar to any keen-eyed readers. Currently, it’s hard to tell if this is revolutionary or just a trend that won’t last the year. The Humane AI Pin is a device to replace your smartphone, offering an Al assistant, camera and a display that lights up on your hand. The aim is to decrease dependence on a smartphone, so you can make calls, text, check maps and do all your phone tasks in an easier way.

TranscribeGlass

A smart pair of glasses with one single purpose: to record your thoughts. Designed for deaf people or those who are hard of hearing, they use a small microphone to pick up voices. Whether it’s from a conversation, a video or a museum tour, the glasses will automatically record voices and display subtitles in front of your eyes. It all happens in real time and, according to the company, is highly accurate.

CMF by Nothing Watch Pro

CMF is all about making popular tech more affordable. The Watch Pro costs an impressively low £69. Most competitors at that price are somewhat limited, but CMF has managed to create something that looks like the Apple Watch, while offering a lot of the same features. Sure, it isn’t quite as powerful, or feature-packed, but for this price it’s impressive what they’ve managed to cram into it.
