Finally, ceiling lights worth buying

This isn’t exactly high tech, but it is the first time we’ve seen ceiling lights and been compelled to share them. We found these lights via Gizmodo, who compared them to the Pipes screensaver in Windows 95/98/XP. They’re sold by a company called Ontwerpduo and is called “Light Forest.” The lights and pipes can be arranged in a seemingly endless variety of ways and are expandable.

“Forest light is a new system for ceiling lights,” says the product description. “The possibilities are unlimited. The design consists out of different parts, which can be connected at the ceiling. Step by step the light system is overgrowing the ceiling as it were. 
It is possible to get one ore much more light points exactly where you want them. Also a wall light is possible. Obstacles or height differences are beautiful to use with these lights.”

They remind us of an array of Mario pipes, or perhaps a dank Russian prison, which we also find oddly appealing. In any case, there is a vine-like overgrowth element to them that feels random and fresh. Since we feel compelled to talk about something high tech, you could screw in fancy LED bulbs to them, if you wish. Or maybe black lights.

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.
