Qlocktwo clock tells time with words, not numbers

This handcrafted clock designed by Biergert & Funk of Germany tells time in an unconventional way that is both surprising and clever. Instead of your typical Roman numerals (so blasé right?), the Qlocktwo tells time in words, with a unique square design and puzzle-like scramble of words to describe the hour. The clock is made of acrylic glass with polished edges, LEDs, and a wood body with four layers of lack. The clock automatically converts to daylight-savings time, and includes a light sensor to adjust for ambient light, as well as a manual brightness control. The Qlocktwo comes in a variety of bright colors (as well as white and black), tells time in a plethora of languages, and comes with a hefty price tag of about $1,600.

Dyson’s new AR mobile app shows where you forgot to clean
A person using the Dyson AR app.

Dyson has always been on the cutting edge of vacuum technology, with heaps of premium vacuums filling the pages of its product catalog. Now, the company seems to be branching out to the world of augmented reality, with the reveal of Dyson CleanTrace -- a new feature on the MyDyson mobile app that shows you all the spots in your home that are yet to be cleaned.

Using Dyson CleanTrace is simple, though it comes with pretty strict limitations. For one, it only works with the expensive Dyson Gen5detect cordless vacuum. It also requires a smartphone with a lidar scanner (like an iPhone 15) and a special clamp to attach your phone to the vacuum (which is yet to receive a price tag). With all that out of the way, you'll then be able to launch the MyDyson app and access the CleanTrace feature for free when it arrives in June.
