Part knapsack, part digital display, the PIX backpack is a unique piece of wearable tech that lets its users play Tetris while communing around in style. Aside from serving as a wearable game of Tetris, the PIX backpack also allows users project pictures, set custom animations, and implement helpful widgets on the face of the backpack. All of these features are controlled through a companion smartphone app, available for both iOS and Android.
The inclusion of the fabric screen may be the main selling point of the PIX backpack, but the construction of the knapsack is also quite impressive. Several compartments are easily accessed and feature enough room for a laptop, tablet, and other belongings. The entire bag is also water and shock-resistant.
