Bullet-time selfies, a straight jacket for your head, the bulkiest Apple Watch and more!

1. Finally: Another narcissism enabler

Forget selfies sticks. The ZPIN360 flying camera holder on a rope lets you take “bullet-time” selfies with video. You spin it around and it keeps the camera always pointed at you. Now, people taking selfies aren’t just annoying. They’re dangerous.

2. This sleep vest makes you look like a psycho

Designer Loris Dadda invented this vest for sleeping while sitting. It’s called the Napow (Nap On The Way). Straps hold your head up. A padded polyurethane collar cushions your neck. And a hood covers your eyes and ears. You’ll sleep deep on public transportation if you somehow don’t make children cry.

3. When battery life matters more than appearance

The Mark_B_CASE is an Apple Watch accessory that charges your Apple Watch while you’re wearing it. It takes a sleek, elegant, minimalist Apple Watch and makes it look like a medical device. By using this case, your Apple Watch would get 36 hours of battery life, according to the designer.
