TORRAS’s “Stay Cool, Share Warmth” campaign emphasizes its commitment to social responsibility and the autism community

In line with World Autism Awareness Day, TORRAS started the “Stay Cool with Cyber, Share Warmth COOLiFY” campaign, uniting their COOLiFY Cyber products with social responsibility efforts. This move emphasizes COOLiFY’s role in offering comfort through personal air conditioning and its support for the autism community, showcasing TORRAS’s commitment to using technology for positive impact and community connection.

On April 5th, TORRAS transformed the American Airlines Center in Dallas into a hub of philanthropy and fun with a curling game aimed at autism awareness and support. Each participant’s engagement led to a $1 donation to Bust Buddies by TORRAS, drawing a lively crowd, including Dallas Mavericks fans, all eager to support the cause and win a COOLiFY product. This initiative, inspired by COOLiFY’s temperature-regulating technology, underscores TORRAS’s dedication to enhancing comfort for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), acknowledging the challenges they face with temperature sensitivity.

Specifically, the first prize is a TORRAS COOLiFY Cyber, which is a personal air conditioner that’s the first of its kind, marking a significant advancement in personal comfort technology.

The COOLiFY Cyber provides quick, multi-dimensional cooling

The COOLiFY Cyber, with its sleek and ergonomic design, wraps gently around the neck, delivering a cooling breeze that feels like a refreshing hug. Its unique semiconductor cooling plate, powered by a robust motor, ensures rapid and effective temperature regulation, making it an ideal companion for individuals in hot climates, during travel, or engaging in physical activities. What distinguishes the COOLiFY Cyber is its capacity to offer multi-dimensional cooling relief. Its three-speed settings and seven air outlets engulf the user in a cocoon of cool air.

TORRAS APP: Personalized temperature with three modes and smart adjustments

For individuals with autism who may experience heightened sensitivity to sensory inputs, the COOLiFY Cyber offers a soothing relaxation. The device’s 366 cooling particles create a gentle, immersive experience, cooling the head, neck, and back with precision and care. This attention to detail in cooling is complemented by advanced heat dissipation technology, ensuring efficiency and comfort in every use.

Offering remarkable comfort and coverage, the COOLiFY Cyber’s high-speed, aerodynamic airflow can reach up to 7,200 RPM, distributing cool air from multiple directions. This capability, along with the ability to manage temperature settings personally through the TORRAS app and the integrated NTC temperature control, enables users to customize their cooling experience according to their specific needs, ensuring relief and comfort across a range of temperatures.

Charging is swift and convenient. Its 20W fast charging technology recharges the device quickly, ensuring it’s ready when needed. Its ErgoFit Engineering promises a comfortable fit for a range of neck sizes, allowing for freedom of movement and long-term wear without discomfort.

Durability and portability are key aspects of the COOLiFY Cyber’s design, making it a reliable accessory for on-the-go lifestyles. Its compact size, resistance to sweat, dust, and impact, and waterproof and durable construction emphasize its suitability for everyday use, ensuring that those with autism can find a moment of calm and comfort wherever they are.

The COOLiFY Cyber: swift charging, ergonomic fit, and durable design for on-the-go lifestyles

As fans eagerly competed for this innovative product, the value of the COOLiFY Cyber goes beyond its advanced features. It becomes a conduit for enhanced everyday ease and sensory solace, particularly for individuals within the autism spectrum, illustrating TORRAS’s commitment to combining state-of-the-art tech with profound support for those requiring extra care.

Vibrant crowd at Dallas’s American Airlines Center for TORRAS’s autism awareness curling event

During the event, a family affected by autism shared their story, highlighting the potential benefits of COOLiFY for individuals like Rand’s daughter, Carinna. The event also featured interactive elements, such as a button that, when pressed, signified a donation to autism support, linking the cause directly to the product’s use.

Following the curling event, TORRAS and its partner Best Buddies hosted over ten families with autistic members at a basketball game on April 7th, providing them with COOLiFY Cyber devices to enhance their experience.

Through these actions, TORRAS aims to demonstrate its commitment to technological innovation and positively impact the lives of individuals with autism and their families. The company views technology as a tool for improving quality of life and fostering a sense of community and support.

The Incredible Visual FX of Shanghai Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean Ride

Posted on by

Disney Parks created an official ‘Ride & Learn’ video which offers a tour of the incredible computer-generated visual effects used in Shanghai Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure ride. Obviously, the first thing I plan on doing after winning the Super Bowl is going to Shanghai Disneyland and riding it.

The ride, which features magnetically-powered boats that allow them to move forwards, backward, and side-to-side, was awarded ‘Best Dark Ride for 2019’ by the Amusement Today Golden Ticket Awards. For reference, I was awarded ‘Worst Piggy Back Ride of 2019’ by my nephews after my knee gave out and I dropped them in the yard.

I actually rode the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride at Disney World in Florida earlier this year before the coronavirus hit, and it’s still almost entirely animatronic with very few computer-generated visual effects. I love the smell of that water though. And, if I’m being perfectly honest *shakes water bottle, winks* the taste too.

Reebok x Ghostbusters ‘Ghost Smashers’ Sneakers

Posted on by

Because ghosts need busting and you’re just the person for the job, Reebok and the Ghostbusters franchise have collaborated to release these $150 Ghost Smashers sneakers. Obviously, I must have them and will throw a temper-tantrum when they sell out before I can get my hands on, and feet into a pair.

Available when the clock strikes Halloween (midnight, October 31st), the sneakers feature a distressed look with two Velcro straps (my favorite), the Ghostbusters logo on the tongue, as well as a green ‘Reebok Pump’ pack on the back of the shoe, with hoses leading into the shoe. They aren’t actual Reebok Pumps though – the pack is entirely cosmetic. And, having owned a pair of Reebok Pumps in the past and been entirely underwhelmed with their pumping performance, I’m okay with that.

It’s really a shame they weren’t available before Halloween because, although not canon Ghostbusters footwear, I still would have worn them with the rest of my Egon costume while I sit at home alone this year, throwing candy to the trick-or-treaters outside from my living room window. Hey – out of the flower bed, Princess Elsa! That goes for you too, Spider-Man!

Human patient put in suspended animation for the first time

Scientists (and sci-fi fans) have been talking about suspended animation for years. The idea that the functions of the human body can somehow be put on "pause" while life-saving medical procedures are performed (or a person is sent into space, a la A...
