 Hey guys, we're here today with this new thing called the knocky. I'm thinking of it as the new age clapper and basically what it does is you can put it anywhere in your home, under any surface, on a wall, wherever you want, and you can knock a certain number of times and make it do things. So for example, I'm gonna knock twice on this table and this light is going to turn off. Like magic. I'm gonna knock twice and then three times on this table and it's going to turn this light bulb red. Set the mood. We're going to turn it back now. So I know what you're thinking, isn't this just a new age clapper? And you're right, it basically is. But what's cool about it is it doesn't work off the table. Like the clapper, it registered this. Knocky doesn't pick up on that at all. Instead, it relies on accelerometers. So basically what happens is the knocky listens for a certain cadence, a natural rhythm to the knocks, and it knows those are the ones it's looking for. Right now we have the knocky on a table, but what you really should know is it doesn't have to be like that. You can put the knocky underneath so it looks like a regular table, and then you can knock it on the table. You can put the knocky underneath so it looks like a regular table and just impress your guests or your friends by knocking on the table and doing magic stuff. So one of the cooler things you can do with the knocky is you can use it to call or text phones. So I'm going to knock on this table three times and it's going to call this phone. It works! If you're really into the knocky, unfortunately it's not available just yet, but they are launching a Kickstarter today so you can put a pre-order in. It's going to retail at $99 when it does come out, but the pre-orders will give you a significant discount. The app isn't ready just yet, but when the knocky ships at the end of this year at the latest, it should be good to go. So that's the knocky. If you want to see more of that and the Verge staff playing around with random other gadgets, make sure you check out TheVerge.com and subscribe to our YouTube channel. See you later! Knock, knock! Who's there? It's knocky! And then I could do an intro from that if you wanted. Yeah, I could just be like, it's knocky!
