What is the Pix backpack?
The Pix Backpack is no ordinary backpack. It has a LED panel, which you can customize with your own designs by using the Pix App on your smartphone.
The backpack also supports animations, widgets, and a few classic games like Tetris!
How does the LED display work?
Using the Pix backpack is very easy. Inside the backpack, there will be a USB cable that needs to be connected to a power bank.
Keep in mind a power bank is not included with the backpack. We recommend purchasing a power bank if you plan on gifting the backpack to someone.
Using a 10,000 mAh power bank will last you about 6 hours of non-stop usage. You will also need an Android or iPhone so that you can download the Pix app and pair it with the backpack.
Using the Pix backpack app
The Pix app is user-friendly and simple to use. Within the app, you can draw your own designs by tapping on the grid or uploading your own animations.
Keep in mind you will have limited space, so adding words can look a bit distorted on the backpack. We noticed images and animations worked best combined with the pixelation effect from the LED panel gives it the nostalgic 8-bit feel.
The app also lets you adjust the speed of animations as well as increasing or decreasing the brightness of images.
