Secondary school was an odd time for all of us. We dealt with new subjects, raging hormones and always stapling our exercise books together because we ran out of pages – either that or we started a new book altogether cause we “lost” the old ones. That’s what we told our teachers anyway.
Now you’ll have a little more initiative to keep your one and only writing notebook, its reusability. This won’t come to much use in secondary school though it’ll be mighty useful if it was your personal notebook that you lug around to jot down ideas or personal notes since you can instantly upload it to the cloud through an app and your smartphone camera.
Erasing comes your way when you use the Rocketbook Wave with Pilot’s Frixion pens and throw it into the microwave for a couple of minutes. The Rocketbook System utilises a special patent-pending image capture tech and 80 pages of its carefully dotted Grid+ system.
Other than that, each page will also be accompanied by a particular QR code that organises pages accordingly in order.
There are also seven symbols that will correspond to different apps and folders within apps like Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs and OneNote. Labelled the particular symbol on a page with a mark will instantly save that page in the applied app and folder that you’ve chosen. When you save these pages it’ll also be stored in the colour you’ve written in.
The paper on Rocketbook’s Wave notebook isn’t all that special. It’s mainly the “thermochromic” ink in Pilot’s Frixion pens that react to heat and cold. However, the people behind notebook made it “microwave safe” and if you take a hairdryer to it, it’ll erase just as well just as long as it reaches 60-degrees Celsius.
If you need an indicator, the notebook’s logo is thermally designed to turn white from blue when heated correctly. Rocketbook claims that the Frixion ink won’t fully evaporate when heated but these faint images won’t disturb the cloud-storage of overlaid notes. They’ve also stated to get the best out of the notebook, users can typically use them 10 times after which it might not perform to usual standards.
Pledges begin at US$ 37 (RM 154.25) with shipping to Malaysia for one Rocketbook Wave and one black-coloured Pilot Frixion pen while you can pay US$ 141 (RM 587.16) for five notebooks that are each accompanied by a black pen. Adding an additional US$ 7 (RM 29.18) to your pledge will entitle you to a 3-pack of pens (black, red and blue).
Delivery is expected to take place in August 2016 and it’ll come in two sizes: Standard, 8.5-inch by 9.5-inch and Executive, 5.8-inch by 8.9-inch.
