    PIX, a backpack with an animated LED screen on the back!

    I saw this backpack from across the ballroom floor and immediately ran over to it! Pix says this is the first LED backpack where you can display images, animations, widgets and even play games on its digital screen. By syncing it with your IOS/Android smartphone you can write, draw and literally play right on your backpack. No, it's not high res! The LED screen has 16x20 resolution which allows for 16.5 million color combinations. The flexible, water-repellent fabric makes it resistant to water splashes and major physical impact. In their online video it shows someone stepping on it and spraying a water hose on it without any ill effects. It powered by any power bank that has a 2A output, but one is not included. It's fits laps up to 15” and has 10 compartments for all your gear. A 10,000 mAh capacity is enough to power the Pix Backpack for 5-6 hours of nonstop usage. MSRP is $259.00, but a child's version is coming which doesn't look that much smaller, with a MSRP of $159.00. Yes, there are other backpack's with screen on them, but this one seemed very well constructed and very bright.
