Gadgets
ASUS ProArt Display Portable Touchscreen
$299
Often, while traveling for work, it’s handy to have a second monitor. The ASUS ProArt Display is compact and easy to carry. Its portable touchscreen also allows it to be a UI screen, allowing endless possibilities with TouchDesigner. It’s also available in 4K resolution.
Beam Headlamp
$13.99
We have recommended having headlamps as part of one’s developer kit before, but headlamp technology has advanced even further. These beam headlamps are brighter with better weight distribution, waterproof, and can be charged with USB-C. You can even get a two-pack and keep one for yourself.
Supernote A6 x Nomad
$299
It isn’t easy to replace the ease of handwritten note-taking. Now, numerous E-ink digital tablets make portable note-taking easier. The Supernote is one tablet with a good balance of price and capability. The downside of the Supernote is that it doesn’t have a backlit, which can be challenging to work in a dark space.
Figma Creator Micro
$159
This shortcut keypad is customizable, weighted, and portable. It helps make the workflow more efficient and can double as a MIDI controller with Keyboard CHOP in TouchDesigner.
Home
Pressure Relief Seat Cushion
$66
As an interactive and immersive designer, we often spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer, but it’s important to take care of our bodies. Having comfortable seating can make life so much better. Cushion Lab has cushions made to last in pretty much any color imaginable.
