Since the advent of mobile phones, and even more so smart phones, etiquette at the dining table has failed. People take pictures of food to keep it cool in the meantime, we don't even know what we're eating, because our eyes are glued to the screen, and parents literally have to push their children to put it down and eat a meal normally and find out how it was at school. It's likely that your smartphone has sparked an argument at your desk. Now Ikea has a solution. This will be part of the Sittning collection, a limited series of products that will also include a special Logged out placemat with a smartphone pocket.

Projectors for every pocket are nothing new. But most have to make compromises and at the expense of size either resolution or brightness suffers. The UO Smart Beam Laser pocket projector offers both, HD resolution (720p) and exceptional brightness (60 lumens) and all this in a housing that measures only 5.6 centimeters in height, width and depth. And as its name suggests, it uses advanced laser diodes and LCoS (Liquid Cristal on Silicon), i.e. reflective LCD technology, to deliver the image.
You know the one. Someone offers you a bulky orange life jacket and you politely decline it. I can swim, you think, and besides, you'd look ridiculous. But in the USA alone, 83 percent of the people who drowned in 2013 were not wearing it, and as many as 370,000 people drown in the world every year! Handy wearable device Kingii aims to reduce this bleak statistic by reinventing lifelines. It is a wrist device that uses a CO2 bomb. In case of danger, it inflates a hidden cushion that keeps a person afloat for up to 48 hours.
The Sphericam 2 is an extremely powerful spatial video camera capable of capturing 360-degree footage in ultra-high resolution 4K. Her abilities border on the professional level, so she's not cheap either. It is therefore the first camera with the possibility of 360-degree monitoring, which is of sufficient quality to create content for virtual reality. All others until now have fallen on their knees before this task, and Sphericam 2, despite the size of a golf ball, is up to the task. And the users on Kickstarter knew how to reward this.
Technology is flourishing in all areas of our lives, only cars remain a kind of gray spot. They are the last disconnected part of your life. But all that will change with the Vinli device. Nothing bigger than a Zippo lighter will instantly turn your car into a smart car using Wi-Fi technology. And this is just a fraction of what Vinli, which in less than a month on Indiegogo already exceeded its goal by 247%, is capable of.
Remember the iPod? The music player that revolutionized music sales and publishing? Recently, Apple removed the mentioned category from the website and hid it under the Apple Music tab, but it seems that even in the age of smartphones, which have eaten away most of its users, they are not yet to be discarded. How else is one to interpret the photos that Apple has leaked online, from which it can be understood that the technological giant is apparently reviving the product that made Apple's name long before smartphones became annual investments.
Driving on the highway can be very stressful, especially if we are on it in the most crowded conditions, behind trucks, when we can't see anything in front of us. That's why the Samsung company came up with the great idea of "Safety Truck", which could bring much more safety in road traffic.
Children are spending less and less time with their parents because of modern devices, so anything that encourages children to bond with their parents would be beneficial for them. Emotionally and physically. Faced with this fact, the Canadian agency Grip Limited came up with an interesting idea that would bring children closer to their parents. The TieFi tie, which is also a portable wireless access point.
Atelier TERATOMA presented the prototype of the Technopicnic backpack, which is inspired by the design of astronauts and is intended for picnics in an urban environment. The backpack system also includes bluetooth speakers and solar panels for very practical charging in the open air.
Imagine a world where dreams meet reality. This is Holus, an interactive desktop holographic display that blurs the line between the digital and real worlds by turning two-dimensional content into a three-dimensional holographic experience. It is a platform that transforms content from a computer, tablet or smartphone into 3D holograms and, unlike most modern devices, brings people together like a campfire.
It started with Lego bricks, then we built computers, now, after smartphones, we will build watches. At the Computex 2015 fair in Taipei, the Qualcomm company released a study of the Blocks modular smart watch, which was created in collaboration with the jewelry brand Tateossian. This allows complete freedom to choose functions and other features that we will choose through modules that will serve as part of the strap.
Although today's weather forecast on TV, computer or mobile device gives us a rather plastic idea of the weather that awaits us, no weather forecast goes as far as Tempescope, a device by Japanese innovators that physically simulates the next day's weather forecast in a transparent box .
