HONG KONG – November 03, 2026 -- ieGeek has opened early-bird reservations in the UK and Europe for the ZY-Q5, a 5MP outdoor security camera system that saves recordings locally instead of charging a monthly subscription. Orders open on 15 November 2026, and first-batch dispatch for eligible early-bird orders begins on 25 November.

One app shows every camera feed on a single screen

The ieGeek Cam app displays multiple live feeds at once, so households can check entrances, gardens and driveways together. The base station supports up to eight devices and accepts microSD cards up to 512GB for local recording.

Cameras cover night, weather and visitors

The 5MP cameras offer full-colour night vision, AI detection and automatic tracking. Users can set detection zones and monitoring schedules, receive motion alerts and speak to visitors through two-way audio.

Hong Kong – October 31, 2026 -- OlloBot's OlloNi SS1, a home companion robot built to bond with people rather than just complete tasks, was named an Honoree in the Best in Home & Entertainment category of the IFA Innovation Awards at IFA Berlin 2026, the brand's European debut.

OlloNi SS1 reacts to touch, sound and facial expressions

OlloNi SS1 runs on OlloBot's proprietary EmpathCore emotional engine and Affinilog interaction system. Together, they let the robot respond dynamically to touch, sound and facial expressions.

At IFA, OlloBot built an open, home-inspired space under the theme "Touch. Feel. Bond." so visitors could interact with the robot directly. OlloNi SS1 also appeared in IFA's "Robots on the Runway" showcase, where its emotional engine let it react to its surroundings in real time.

Hong Kong – October 19, 2026 -- The Hypershell X Ultra S, a 1.7 kg foldable consumer exoskeleton, has been named to TIME's 2026 Best Inventions list in the Sports & Fitness category. The full Hypershell X Series is available now at Hypershell.com and on Amazon.

TIME cites a fix for the rigid feel of robotic wearables

TIME has run its Best Inventions issue for 26 years. It judges entries on originality, efficacy, ambition and real-world impact. The magazine commended the X Ultra S for tackling a common industry problem: the stiff feel of traditional robotic wearables. TIME also pointed to a global exoskeleton market projected to reach $1.79 billion by 2033.

Hypershell's answer is HyperIntuition, a motion control algorithm that analyzes and anticipates a wearer's movements in real time. Founder and CEO Kelvin Sun said exoskeletons are no longer science fiction and are helping everyday people go farther than they thought possible.

Hong Kong – October 19, 2026 -- TECNO and BBC StoryWorks have released a new film about "100 Portraits of Becoming," a two-year portrait project that will collect 100 portraits and personal stories across five countries, starting in Kenya.

TECNO co-created the project with visual artist Angélica Dass. It pairs Dass's approach to portraiture with TECNO's Universal Tone imaging technology, which is designed to represent different skin tones fairly. The countries involved are Kenya, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Brazil.

Hong Kong – October 16, 2026 -- Coffee drinkers in Hong Kong can now order a Buffalo Milk Latte, hot or iced, at all five local Lavazza stores, and a Liquid Tiramisu drink is on the way. Lavazza says it is the first chain coffee brand in the city to serve buffalo milk drinks.

Five stores in under a year, around 10 planned

Lavazza opened its first Hong Kong store in Central last November. It has since grown to five locations, mostly in premium office towers and shopping destinations in Central and Causeway Bay. The company plans to double that to around 10 stores in the coming months.

The newest store, at Cheung Kong Center II, features an installation of the Lavazza Carmencita moka pot. Italian designer Marco Zanuso created the pot for Lavazza in 1979, and it is known for its conical shape and heat-resistant handle.

Hong Kong – October 12, 2026 -- ugee has launched ugee maker, a moderated, kid-friendly 3D printing community for families and beginners, and anyone who signs up for an account is entered into a $1,000 prize giveaway.

The platform targets what ugee describes as a gap in the market. Beginners currently choose between technical communities with little safety guidance for young users and family-friendly platforms that require buying a specific brand's hardware. ugee maker offers a third option for parents, kids and newcomers.

Every official model is pre-tested for reliable printing

Failed prints caused by faulty files are a major source of frustration for novices. ugee says each official file is pre-tested and validated to print reliably on virtually all consumer-grade 3D printers. All designs come in universal STL format.

The robot dog automatically rights itself after tumbles

The R1 uses a self-righting mechanism that returns it to its feet whenever it tips over or lands upside down, removing the need for a child to reposition it manually.

It performs over 10 routines including flips, dancing and push-ups

Beyond forward, backward, left, and right flips, the toy runs more than 10 programmed routines such as dancing, push-ups, and swimming. A built-in programming mode lets children sequence their favorite moves into custom combinations, introducing basic sequencing logic tied to early STEM concepts.
