AR Designs is working with OvRcharge to build a levitating, wireless smart phone charger.
When you’re looking for a wireless charger for your device, the first thing you probably think of is whether or not it will levitate your smartphone. No? Well, if you ever did think of it, the folks over at AR Designs will actually make your dream come true. OvRcharge does make your gadget float (well, sort of) while at the same time actually power it up.
The system involves two main components — the wood charging base with an electricity receiver and a special phone case that features an induction receiver and a magnet. The phone case is very small thin and not terribly noticeable when the phone is charging; when the battery reaches capacity, the charging will stop but the phone will continue to levitate and spin slowly.
The specially designed case that houses an electricity charger, to pull power from the very air around it, and a magnet, to make it float, like a technological hummingbird.
The OvRcharge can support devices up to 600 grams (in terms of levitation), so it will work with many tablets in addition to smartphones. The base measures 140mm x 33mm x 140mm for the regular model; there is also an Ultra model measuring 170mm x 35mm x 170mm with a 700mAh output instead of 500mAh.
AR Designs plans to offer the charger in dark, walnut, and cherry wood varieties initially, and teases that more options will be available in the future.
As a smartphone supporting accessories, OvRcharge has a shape that is not too big, which is a square box-shaped with dimensions of 14 cm x 14 cm and has a thickness of 33 mm. Wireless charger comes in three colors, namely dark, walnut, and cherry.
