Editor's Notes
- Space Lounges - The next generation of coffee shops and cafes. The team has created an app that allows the user to purchase any item in a physical location in one tap on their smartphone. Ikinen - A solar-powered cover for iPhone users. It's marketed as a fun, useful product that is energy efficient. Peeple - A camera device that replaces the traditional peephole and lets users see who has arrived at their front door via their phone, allowing people to track deliveries or improve their home security. Quidini - A digital queue management solution that tells shoppers how long they have to wait for a shop assistant and texts them when one is available. Alfred - An app that allows consumers to control all of their smart home devices through a phone, tablet or laptop. The app monitors usage and thereby helps consumers manage consumption and bills.
