MREAL X1:

Cannon, a renowned Japanese company in the world of photography, is currently developing augmented reality glasses called mreal X1. This new version offers a range of improvements over its predecessor, such as the ability to interact with virtual objects and a wider field of view of 58 by 60 degrees. Another key innovation is the improved display, which features a resolution of 1920 by 2160 for each eye. The glasses come with a Halo strap and weigh 359 grams. However, for those who find this weight too heavy, a handheld version is also available. The mreal X1 is designed for corporate customers who want to enhance their teamwork experience, even when working remotely. Although the official price has not been announced, the previous version was priced at $35,000. Therefore, it's safe to assume that the mreal X1 will also be expensive.

Renegade Hoof Boots:

It's an intriguing fact that in the US, one out of every 63 Americans is employed in the horse industry, and the impact of this industry on the country's economy is a staggering 102 billion dollars. This reflects the high value placed on horses in the US, and as a result, there are numerous innovative products available to care for them. For instance, consider these hoof boots, which can be bought in sets of four for 440 dollars. These boots not only safeguard the hooves against damage but also decrease fatigue by absorbing shocks and providing support. The manufacturer claims it's a state-of-the-art alternative to horseshoes, and customers can choose from seven sizes and customize other parameters to meet their requirements. Furthermore, to stay current with fashion trends, the manufacturer also provides limited-edition boots, such as some pink ones, which were introduced for Valentine's Day.

Eight360 NOVA Evento Buzzball:

The creators of this VR simulator, known as "The Sphere" from New Zealand, have declared that they are rendering the real world obsolete. The sphere has a diameter of approximately two meters and allows individuals to refine their vehicle control skills. It has attracted interest not only from civilians but also military customers, as a partnership has already been established with the New Zealand Defense Force. The sphere rotates 360 degrees at up to 180 degrees per second and can be easily transformed into a plane cockpit or an SUV cabin using its mounting system. This allows individuals to train without risking expensive equipment. According to a review, the internal system of the sphere is compatible with various computer games such as Project Cars and X-Plane. Unfortunately, it will not be directly sold on the market, and manufacturers prefer to rent it out for about $150,000 per year.

Evento Buzzball:

New Zealand has developed an exciting ride that is being referred to as the "roller coaster of the future." This ride operates on electricity and is designed for a single rider. The most exciting feature is that the inner sphere continuously rotates in the opposite direction of travel.

Ritewing Big Drak:

The thriving drone market in Germany has led to the creation of sukom, a novel cellular communication protocol that caters to cargo drones. In addition to commercial drones, there are also numerous recreational models available. One such model features a unique forward-swept wing design and is available in a version that includes a cobra brushless motor and a 7,000 milliamp hour battery for $550. Although it requires assembly, it is light enough to be launched manually and is capable of vertical takeoffs and landings, as well as capturing stunning videos.

Hyper Food Robotics:

Hyper Food Robotics has made it possible for fast food restaurants to operate without any staff, and this has become a reality for many business owners. They have managed to pack all the essentials of a fast food joint into a 12-meter container that transforms into a fully functional outlet on site. The first prototype was assembled for a Pizza Hut restaurant in Israel, and it was able to produce 50 pizzas per hour with uncompromised quality. The system is versatile and can make other dishes such as burgers, salads, and chicken wings. To ensure quality control, the system is equipped with 120 sensors and 20 cameras, all working together with AI. However, some may argue that making food without passion and heart is soulless, and people should take a stand against such enterprises. What are your thoughts on this?

Romotow Prototype:

Have you heard of glamping? It's a new trend where you can enjoy nature while having the comfort of a good hotel. Manufacturers quickly picked up on this trend and began producing glamping trailers, or "glampers." One luxurious model, developed in New Zealand, is available for $272,000. It measures 930 centimeters in length and has a fully equipped kitchenette, bathroom with shower, water heating system, toilet, and dining area that converts into a cozy bedroom. Additionally, the inner section of the trailer can be turned 90 degrees to create a veranda. After a day of fun, you can relax and watch your favorite movies or shows on the built-in 32-inch TVs with 4K support, or on the 82-inch pull-down screen.

FLIR Ocean Scout TK:

If you have some spare cash after purchasing the aforementioned glamper, you may want to consider buying this thermal vision monocular. Weighing in at just 170 grams, it is compact enough to fit in your pocket, yet powerful enough to detect foxes and squirrels from distances of up to 90 meters. With a battery life of up to five hours, this camera can be activated within five seconds and can be used in temperatures ranging from -20 to +40 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal all-season tool for those who are not familiar with this type of technology. Moreover, you can capture all the excitement on video or in photos and instantly review your footage on the built-in 640x480 display. The device is supplied with a charging cable, a protective lens cap, and a neck strap, and is priced at $649.

HEBI Tready:

For richer customers there may be interest in the crawler robot, Tready, may pique the interest of wealthy customers. It has the ability to traverse walls and ceilings of select structures by utilizing a magnet system, and can even submerge to a depth of one meter for up to thirty minutes. With its lifting crawlers, it can conquer obstacles such as stairs, fallen trees, rocks, and pipes. The robot has a weight of 25 kilograms and can run for two to three hours on a single charge, at a modest speed of two kilometers per hour. The Tready offers extensions such as camera systems and arms, and can be remotely controlled via an iOS or Android smartphone. Additionally, the RB9 version of the robot can bear loads of up to 20 kilograms. However, the Tready comes at a hefty cost of $59,000.

Gas Grabber:

Carrying a full gas tank of 12.7 liters can be quite difficult as it weighs around 9.2 kilograms. Handling even larger tanks or heavy cylinders can be risky and may lead to accidents. To prevent such incidents, a clamp has been developed that enables easy and safe handling of cylinders with diameters ranging from 216 to 230 millimeters. The eight-point contact of the clamp provides a comfortable grip for two people. Weighing just over three kilograms, this gas cylinder lifter ensures even distribution of weight, reducing the risk of back pain. However, with a price tag of $125, it may not be the most budget-friendly option available.

Birdfy Nest:

For $250, you can get a birdhouse that comes with cameras and AI technology, and is designed to help conserve bird populations. The project creators set a goal of $5,000 but ended up raising over $178,000 due to the popularity of the product. One of the key features of the birdhouse is its AI technology, which can recognize important stages in a bird's life, such as the birth and feeding of chicks, and record short videos for social media, even in low light conditions. The device runs on a 10,000 milliamp hour battery that can last for about four months, and it has a video resolution of 1920 by 1800. The birdhouse can also function in temperatures ranging from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius, and it's available in various sizes to ensure the comfort of the birds.

Bas Rutten O2 Trainer:

Introducing the O2 Trainer: a simple yet effective tool that can help increase your oxygen intake and stamina, whether you're an athlete, swimmer, or even just someone who struggles with climbing stairs. With this trainer, you can say goodbye to shortness of breath and fatigue. The O2 Trainer doesn't require batteries or charging, so you can take it with you anywhere. It comes with 16 caps that allow you to adjust the workout load according to your needs. According to satisfied buyers, just three minutes of exercise with the O2 Trainer every day is enough to see results. Plus, it's endorsed by Bas Rutten, a former UFC heavyweight champion who retired undefeated after 22 fights. All of this can be yours for only sixty dollars.

JETQUAD:

Introducing the most compact and powerful drone with jet engines in the world. It boasts a cruising speed of nearly 400 kilometers per hour and can cover distances of up to 150 kilometers, which is quite impressive. In addition, this drone has a maximum payload capacity of 16 kilograms and can take off and land vertically. What's more, the drone's platform is highly versatile and could potentially be scaled up to accommodate passengers in the future. Currently, this drone is ideal for a range of applications such as delivering emergency supplies, conducting search and rescue missions, and monitoring difficult terrains. The device runs on kerosene, diesel fuel, or aviation fuel for turbojet aircraft. Although the price varies, it typically starts at around 85,000.

Cradlewise:

Introducing the world's most intelligent crib, or at least that's what its creators claim. The crib comes with a price tag of $1700, in exchange for automatic rocking at night. The crib is designed to recognize when the baby accidentally wakes up and help it go back to sleep. The AI engine remembers the baby's habits and plays their favorite songs. The crib also comes with a video baby monitor that can be accessed via smartphone and PC. It has a built-in camera, and infrared monitoring is available. Measuring 102 x 63.5 x 107 centimeters, it is suitable for children up to two years old and weighing up to 15 kilograms. Buyers have a 100-day trial period, and if they are not satisfied, they can get their money back.
