Lapka
This gorgeous device measures unusual stats about things in the real world via hardware/software combo. What excites me most about Lapka is the proof point of online & offline converging, with mobile right in the middle. In addition to clean site and product design, the photography is best in class, turning hands into pedestals for the product. Well done. https://mylapka.com/
