It seems as if not a week goes by without news about a new technological device that will "change our habits, our lives and we will no longer be able to do without it". Usually the dust settles rather quickly, as most of these products do not meet our expectations. Nevertheless, the year 2015 brought some such technological pearls that accompanied us every day and grew to our hearts, hands and even our buttocks.
Rossignol and the PIQ company have prepared a special PIQ pocket sensor for all technology-conscious skiers, which puts skiers on par with sports such as running and cycling, where every movement or turn of the athlete is subjected to analysis and statistics. The sensor measures the movement of the skier and records every detail of the ride (measured on 13 axes), which can later be analyzed with a mobile application and, based on the information, improve skiing technique.
Remember Tom Cruise in the movie Minority Report when he only used his hands to operate the computer? This kind of technology is now finally available and it goes by the name of Gest.

It uses an iPhone to display virtual reality and thus allows users to watch movies, concerts, explore amazing destinations, play games and more in virtual reality.

Ulo is Vivien Muller's adorable owl-shaped surveillance camera that uses its interactive eyes and nose to control and detect motion. Admittedly, she can't hoot, so she lets us know via e-mail if she detects movement in the room, and sends a video as proof, and also broadcasts the event live. You have never seen such a cute surveillance camera. It's like adopting an animal but not buying a monitoring system. You can pre-order it on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter for 140 euros.
Invoxia Triby is a wireless speaker with a magnet that can be attached to the refrigerator door.
