Microwavable Paper Notebooks

The Rocketbook Wave Can Quickly Upload Pages to the Cloud

— August 2, 2017 — Art & Design
Old-fashioned pen-and-paper note-taking still has plenty of benefits over digital alternatives, and the Rocketbook Wave is a notebook that aims to combine the best aspects of both poles. On the one hand, it has the freedom and tactility of a paper notebook, but it's still reusable and offers cloud connectivity like any other digital note platform.

The key to the Rocketbook Wave is its combination of QR codes, a graphical system, and clever erasure technology. The notebook itself looks like any paper booklet, with 80 dotted pages. However, each page comes with a QR code and a series of symbols at the bottom. Using the Rocketbooks app, users can snap pictures of the notes on each page to automatically upload them into the software of their choice, which they select by crossing out one of the symbols on the page.

The Wave is also completely erasable when used with an (included) FriXion pen. To erase, one places it in a microwave with a mug of water and heats it for about four minutes.
Trend Themes
1. Paperless Note-taking - The Rocketbook Wave combines the benefits of traditional pen-and-paper note-taking with the convenience of digital storage, allowing for a paperless approach.
2. Hybrid Notebook - The integration of QR codes and cloud connectivity in the Rocketbook Wave creates a hybrid notebook that bridges the gap between analog and digital note-taking.
3. Erasing Technology - The erasable feature of the Rocketbook Wave, utilizing microwave and water, introduces a new level of convenience and sustainability to traditional notebooks.
Industry Implications
1. Stationery and Paper Products - The integration of digital connectivity in notebooks like the Rocketbook Wave presents opportunities for innovation within the stationery and paper products industry.
2. Digital Note-taking Apps - The adoption of QR codes and cloud connectivity in note-taking with the Rocketbook Wave opens up avenues for disruption and improvement in digital note-taking apps.
3. Sustainability and Eco-friendly Products - The erasable technology used in the Rocketbook Wave aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products, providing opportunities for innovation within this industry.
