Ken reviews the Xenofreaks I Love PIX multi-functional LED display
from Korea. Ken already
reviewed
the newer PIX Sports LED gadget. The I Love PIX LED gadget can
be connected to a PC to program patterns, a feature the cheaper PIX
Sports does not have.
The XenoFreaks I Love PIX is only
available on the XenoFreaks
Korean Store.
I already tested and reviewed the
PIX multi-function sports LED device from Xenofreaks, Inc.
While that was a fun product, the “I Love Pix” interactive visual
LED medallion is a treat as well and provides much more
functionality as you can interact and program it via your computer.
The younger generation loves technology and this unit delivers in so
many ways. Communications take on a whole new meaning for children
and teenagers today, and what a way to “talk” than to “show” what
they are feeling, meaning and saying in a “mod” and unique way.
What can the PIX do you say? How about providing you with an
Infrared device and USB 2.0 cable for complete control of content in
the LED readout of the medallion. Load the included software in
seconds; plug in the supplied USB cable and begin the creation of
your own communication. It even comes preloaded with a whole host
of text messages, characters, designs (hearts, arrows, etc.), which
are even animated. Choose from those included or invent your own
utilizing the intuitive software. Use your imagination, finish and
transfer those ideas straight to the PIX. It even can be ordered in
different LED colors (red, blue and others). The 60s and 70s gave
us inanimate objects to convey what they felt, wanted to convey or
believed themselves to be. Technology has advanced for the Gen X
crowd and they love it. It’s provided another means to impart
themselves on society and being able to “cool” doing so.
XenoFreaks I Love PIX LED Display
The PIX comes
complete with a cylindrical hard, durable case to encase the
medallion along with a soft velvet “purse” to keep it scratch free.
The included necklace surpasses those found with MP3 players and
even has a solid flexible silver coil within coated plastic and a
sliding clasp to adjust to the user’s needs. The girls also love
this fashionable device as a true jewelry fashion accessory that
looks very good around their necks. For the guys, use the armband
included and be tough yet able to express yourself at the same
time. In addition to communicating to others, it searches for icon
matches on other PIX devices and the wearers can infrared one
another with images, icons or messages. How about eliminating the
need for online dating services? You only need to be within range of
each other to make your own matches based upon your identical
expressions. It certainly “breaks the ice”. Take it to parties,
dances, school communications, and reminders, soothe those hectic
days with pleasing images and animations. The two-inch, 177 high
LED readout in a 15 X 15 matrix with a weight of only 59g is packed
with imagination and enjoyment for every individual. The two AAA
batteries inside last for approximately four days. Remember, you
can recharge alkaline batteries when replacing by using an alkaline
charger available online at many retail locations.
XenoFreaks I Love PIX LED Motion
Display
I would love to see this unit with a
magnet included for use on nightstands, in cars and on other
metallic surfaces. I used Velcro and my own magnets for this
purpose and it worked well. Future considerations should include an OLED display for a wider array of characters, icons, animations,
etc. Although light, the weight could be reduced by utilizing
lithium batteries or solar panels. USB interoperability would
enable recharging abilities too. Two buttons on this device make it
quite easy to control and change between modes of operations. The
instructions should be rewritten in plain English as the fragmented
English translation provided led to some confusion. Luckily, the
included pictures provide a definitive guide to understand and
complete all required functions, but the software instructions must
also be more clearly written to fully utilize creation of icons,
text, animations, etc.
Conclusion
In a world full
of expressionism, the PIX seeks to capitalize and does so very
well. Price for the unit is approximately $100 and visiting
www.xenofreaks.com will provide you with all the information you
need on this product and ordering. Express yourself today with PIX.
