Oh look, another levitating object Kickstarter
We should talk about the Levitating X Kickstarter campaign, something its creators call “tech art.” The crowdfunding endeavor is trying to sell us on the idea of a levitating object future. Backers can choose and display four different bases, including a pillow, plate, plant, and random decor. These all float, of course, by relying on electromagnetic suspension. The idea is that they serve as cool decor that’ll impress your friends.
The base object and the levitating plate below it vary in price, but start at $250. The company hopes to ship by June of this year.
