10 futuristic objects whose existence is hard to believe (12 photos)
Scientists are working hard to generate new ideas that could change life as we know it. From devices that can read minds to a bag that automatically changes color depending on what you're wearing, here are some great products that show the future is now. Take a look!
1. Mind reading device
This device, called “AlterEgo,” was developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientist Arnav Kapoor. The device has the amazing ability to read and understand words that have not yet been spoken. The dispositional apparatus looks like a headset that connects to the chin and is responsible for “reading” neuromuscular signals, which are processed by a program that recognizes thoughts. AlterEgo can also speak and respond using Siri and Google. Many people with all kinds of speech pathologies are deprived of the opportunity to communicate with other people, says Kapoor. My device can give people this ability back.
2. Bags that change color
Forget about having to match your bag with your clothes. VanDerWaals bags have the ability to change colors and can be controlled from your phone. The application allows you to scan the color of clothing and make the necessary adjustments.
3. A cap that doesn't let you sleep
A cap developed by Ford Trucks prevents drivers from falling asleep at the wheel. The device has a sensor that monitors head movement and wakes up the driver with vibrations, sounds and light when it seems to him that the person is falling asleep.
4. Smart shoes that will provide comfort
These sneakers are designed by Smartshoe. Various sensors integrated into the sole analyze walking style, foot pressure, supination, number of steps taken, calories burned and much more, which ultimately allows the user to offer personalized recommendations to prevent injury and improve health. In addition, Smartshoe “smart” sneakers are equipped with an auto-lacing system and temperature support.
5. Jacket that recognizes gestures
Popular clothing brand Levi's and Google have teamed up to develop a jacket that can recognize the wearer's gestures and transmit these commands to his phone. With this technology, people can play music and even order pizza.
6. Skin care device
The QSun gadget can protect your skin from the sun while providing enough vitamin D. It can also tell you when it's time to use sunscreen.
7. Socks that eliminate odor
The Chinese company MeltMall has developed fantastic socks that cannot have an unpleasant odor. Their fabric contains silver, zinc and copper, which destroy bacteria.
8. The pillow relieves snoring
This fantastic pillow from Rem-Fit combines music, sleep tracking, and anti-snoring technology. With adjustable foam filling and high-quality fabric coated with moisture-wicking Tencel fibre, this head-memory pillow combines advanced sleep technology. Detects snoring and gently vibrates to adjust your sleep position without waking you up.
9. Slippers that can come to the owner themselves
The Nissan car company has developed slippers that return to their place on their own and fit when called by the owner. The sneakers are equipped with a guidance system and a small battery that drives the wheels hidden under the sole. If you take them off your feet and press the “parking” button, the slippers themselves will go to the specified place at twori. Some Japanese hotels are using this technology to improve the comfort of their guests.
10. A plane that looks like a spaceship
The design team of Factory Design and Contour Aerospace, which produces seats for airplanes, came up with seats in the form of futuristic cocoons. Each capsule has a seat, a bed, temperature and lighting controls, and a screen.
