Aside from serving as a wearable game of Tetris, the PIX backpack also allows users [project pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixybeam), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ds-pixel-keyboard) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wearable Gaming Tech:** Creating digital interfaces in wearable accessories such as backpacks opens up opportunities for wearable gaming tech that can be interacted with on the go. - **Digital Backpacks:** With the proliferation of technology, backpacks that incorporate digital displays have emerged, creating opportunities for digital fashion and customizable accessories. - **Smartphone-controlled Wearables:** With the advent of companion smartphone apps, a new era of wearable technology is emerging, with opportunities for smartphone-controlled wearables with unique digital displays. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage wearable gaming tech to create new fashion accessory lines that incorporate digital features for added functionality and customization. - **Tech:** Tech companies in the wearable tech space can explore creating smartphone-controlled wearables with digital displays for interactive experiences on the go. - **Gaming:** Gaming companies can explore creating new opportunities for mobile gaming with wearable gaming tech that allows users to play on the go with unique digital displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Briefcase-Integrated Mobile Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/packgo.md) - [Internet Icon Accessory Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finder-icon-backpack.md) - [Tactical Tech-Infused Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coalax-lancer300.md) - [Audio Adventure Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonies-backpack.md) - [Trackable Travel Tech Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scapade-airpack-backpack.md) - [Portable Gaming Carrying Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-3.md) - [Earbud-Inspired Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack-backpack.md) - [Oversized Earbud Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack.md) - [Organization-Forward Backpack Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-backpack.md)
