Pix- the world's first digital Backpack

The world has become digital. The news that we used to watch on TVs has now seen a drastic change from people following more news on social Medias and YouTube and apps rather than on TV. The ads that we used to see on paper boards has now be digitalized with different ads appearing one by one on a single digital board around the city. As everything is becoming digital and mobile, why don’t we make our Backpacks also digital like can we display images and widgets in our backpack? And the answer is yes.

Pix is a Kickstarter project founded in 2016 which has produced the world’s first digital bag through which you can display “smart animative” images on the front of you backpack just using your smartphone.

The Pix Backpack App

Through the pix backpack app you can select the already available images in the app or draw your desired image or message in the form of writing to be displayed on the bag. Pix backpack app is available for android and iOS where you can upload the images and widget.

You can also play 8 bit games on your pix like the Tetris, snake, arkanoid and some others.

To start using you pix, you just need to plug the USB cable available inside the backpack with a Standard 2A power bank. The battery in the backpack is of 20,000 mAH and will work for about 12 hours.

Afterwards you have to connect your smartphone app through Bluetooth to the backpack and there you are ready to show your creative writings and images to the world through Pix backpack. You can display time, weather and also your mobile notifications (ignore if privacy problem) on the backpack. 

Cycle remote

Not only images but you can also add widgets like cycling widget and use it with the help of cycle remote device available with backpack which can be fitted in to the cycle and connected through Bluetooth with the backpack. So suppose you are cycling and you want to turn left suddenly, so instead of using your hand traffic signals, you can just display the left arrow sign on your Pix Backpack.
