While they may not be the most stylish glasses in the world, ViXion’s new lenses are incredibly practical.

Kodak Printomatic Barbie Edition
The hype unleashed last year by the Barbie movie is still at its peak, and that’s why Kodak has decided to present at IFA a Printomatic camera (in pink, of course) dedicated to the greatest glory of the famous Mattel doll.
It’s not a better device than other similar instant-print cameras, but the Barbie brand is very popular, so this gadget will probably delight the most die-hard fans of the famous doll.
Roborock Qrevo Curv / Roborock Qrevo Edge
These small vacuum cleaners may seem like Roomba and other similar devices. However, they have a feature inside them that is a kind of “superpower” – they can climb heights of up to 10 centimetres, which is very useful when the device has to deal with uneven thresholds (very common in older houses) or thick carpets.

This hat is equipped with eight solar panels and two charging ports. The goal? To make it easy for users to charge their devices while walking or hiking, for example. It is an undoubtedly practical gadget, but its price ($80) is perhaps not the most reasonable for what it offers.
