Smartwatches have been on the market for quite some time, and while their benefits are great and obvious, their success has not been consistent. One of the big problems with smart watches is definitely their small size. Carnegie Mellon University solved the problem with SkinTrack. Part of the smartwatch screen was transferred to the user's hand. Thus, the user can use his hand as a touchpad - for example, he writes a letter with his finger on the palm of his hand, and it is printed on the screen.

Love them or hate them, selfie sticks aren't going anywhere (yet). If until now we have more than made fun of them, now they are clearly developing in the right direction.

GoPros may be synonymous with sports cameras, but for how much longer? The LG Action CAM LTE sports camera can speed up this process, as it currently has no real competition.

The Honor Band A1 is a smart bracelet from the Chinese brand Huawei, which it released under its sub-brand Honor, founded last year. With its arrival in Slovenia, it bets mainly on the Honor 5X and Honor 7, affordable but powerful mid-range phones, and offers other technological goodies, such as the presented sports bracelet with a UV indicator, which costs as much as watching a movie in a cinema for two persons!
Scenes from many science fiction films such as Special Message are becoming more and more commonplace.

From now on, with the Samsung Galaxy it is not only possible to surf on the web, but also on the water. Samsung introduced the Samsung Galaxy Surfboard with an LED screen. Why? Because South Koreans consider surfing to be a solitary sport, as the surfer is cut off from the world while riding the waves. Well, nothing more. With this board, you can stay connected to the world wide web and the rest of your Samsung devices, even when you're doing mischief at sea. In the meantime, you receive messages from friends, fans or coaches in real time, and the board supplies you with the necessary information about the weather and waves.
With more and more drones in the air, questions about the safety of these devices arise. A good example is the drone that almost fell on the head of skier Marcel Hirscher and opened many questions related to safety. All this would not have happened if the drone had "on its back" SafeAir, a parachute made especially for drones. This SafeAir Pyrotechnic Parachute Recovery Solution (or SafeAir for short) is cheap insurance for when a drone fails in the air. If until now in this case we could only pray that he would not be injured in the fall, now this concern is unnecessary.
Today, practically everything is protected by a code. Smartphones, computers, tablets, suitcases, Wi-Fi... Even bank cards have their own code. By the way, how secure is your wallet? Not exactly, probably. Most flip wallets and change bags are no more protected than a button strap, even though they hold just as much valuable stuff as the rest of the listed possessions. If you want to have a properly secured wallet as well, Code Wallet, a dial wallet, is perfect for you!

Year after year, the iPhone's camera improves, but it cannot offer something like this by itself! The Pictar iPhone Photo Holder is, dare we say, the best thing in recent memory. Are you interested in what makes everything possible?
Is this the computer of the future? In the near future, computers as we know them will only find a place in museums, antique shops and collectors. The Magic Leap company demonstrated what a computer of the future will look like, which no longer needs a physical screen and case.
