A Maximally Simple Breathalyzer Makes Sense for Drunk People

There are a lot of smartphone breathalyzers out there , but they do n’t incline to prioritize design esthetical . It ’s more of an ‘ am I too drunk , yes or no , ’ kind of matter . But theLapka Bam Breathalyzeris all about bringing signifier and function together .

First of all , the Lapka is designed so you do n’t need mouthpiece or any external elements other than the handheld breathalyzer itself . By cup your hand around the machine and blowing into it for four seconds ( that ’s jolly myopic for one of these things ) you customize it as much as you postulate to . And the designing is a top-notch minimalist fateful ceramic piston chamber . Nothing gimcrack or even noticeable . The best somberness baulk , after all , are the discreet ones ! The app , iOS and Android , has some decent design features include a UI that simplifies and clarifies itself as it detects your BAC climbing .

The Lapka is $ 200 , which is a short steep but not out of control for one of these machine . One weird matter is that at the end of the ( dramatic and overly vivid ) video promo , the narrator say “ There is n’t more . There is n’t less . There is no equipment . ” Which is odd because there pretty clearly is a gadget aright there aka the gadget they are selling . But perhaps the designing group was trying to keep their thinking so minimal that they forgot they even made a affair . It happens . [ Uncrate ]
