muscles.
A powerful exo-skeleton will be here one day, dramatically enhancing the users movement
and this is the start.
Now, if someone can get to work on Repulsar technology.
Nike's HyperAdapt shoes
Ever since Back to the Future 2 debuted in 1989, people have wanted to get their hands
on Marty McFly’s self-lacing shoes.
The movie, taking place in a futursitc 2015, didn’t get all the details right, but still
made made shoe collectors giddy with anticipation.
In an attempt to make fiction reality, Nike put their billions of dollars into finding
a way to make the dream of those too lazy to bend over and tie their shoes, The result?
The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0.
A a shoe that can sense how snugly the wearers laces should be, and will tighten and loosen
as needed.
First, they created an almost exact replica, making only 89 (get it), and raffled them
off for Michael J. Fox’s Foundation.
If you were bummed you couldn't get those, for about $800, you can now.
Sort off.
It’s a long waitig list.
Joule’s Caffeine Bracelet
Some people drink four cups of coffee before breakfast.
Some just like a little boost in the afternoon.
However you consume your caffeine, coffee or energy drinks, it seems everyone loves
a little go-juice.
However, coffee can stain your teeth and energy drinks contain unhealthy sugars and syrups,
A new way to perk up your day might be coming thanks to Joule’s caffeine bracelet.
Still in the fundraising stages, the bracelets aims to deliver caffeine straight into your
skin through a process it calls transdermal administration.
It sounds fancy, and may be impossible, but that doesn’t mea it’s not a great idea.
To prevent an accidental overdose of energy, it sends out doses periodically.
Preventing you from making a fool of yourself by jumping up and down on the table during
a conference call.
Pokemon Go Watch
The exact number of players on Pokemon GO is hard to pinpoint, but the game is still
enjoyed by millions worldwide.
An app that encourages mobility is an obvious choice for wearable smartwatches, but no support
has yet to be created.
One reason?
Niantic, the developer behind the smash hit, are working on their own wearable tech that
will help you catch them all.
They already released Pokemon Go Plus, a device that blinks and vibrates, assisting you in
nabbing a Weedle for the thousandth time.
It was a bit of a letdown for the dwindling player base, but a new wearable that allowed
you to play the inevitable sequel from your wrist woud bring back many.
Making you look less like Team Rocket the next time you hit the trails to find your
digital and portable pets.
Airing
Sleep Apnea is dangerous.
Struggling to breath during sleep can make for rough mornings, and even be deadly.
There are devices that help, including mouthguardsand breathe strips.
The best options is still a CPAP machine.
Yet, they are awkward to wear and loud to use, making people avoid them.
Airing, a new micro-CPAP device that is still in the fundraising stage, is attempting to
solve that problem.
Letting you look a little cooler in the process.
Promising to be the worlds first hoseless, cordless micro C-Pap device, they put tiny,
tiny fans into the device.
They’re powered by batteries that force air into your nasal cavities, which in turn
pushes more air back out; improving the breathing process.
While not mentioned in the brochure, it should eliminate the scent of your partners gas they
passed in their sleep.
SuperSuit
Back in the day, kids simply played tag.
Chasing each other in an attempt to make someone else it.
Eventually squirt guns introducesd water tag, and 80’s and 90’s technology used lights
and batteries to give us laser tag.
All of those are still viable options, but in an technologically-evolving society, even
the the game of tag needs a reboot.
The SuperSuit promises to combine the appeal of tag with a video game by allowing it’s
wearers to perform actions with a wave of the hand.
Using no WiFi or phones, it comes loaded with games designed to take advantage of the vest.
You can slam your fists into the ground, tagging all users around in you a move right out of
Street Fighter or simply aim your hand and hit your opponent with a flick of the finger.
Tap Strap
Minority Report was an okay Tom Cruise movie, but it had a tech idea that almost everyone
agreed was awesome.
The ability to use a computer with your hands in the air, moving fingers freely, would eliminate
the need for a keyboard.
Making it easer to type on tablets, avoinding fingerprints and smudges on your screen.
Thankfully the Tap Strap hopes to make science fiction a reality by taking on the QWERTY
keyboard.
An elastic strap is placed on your fingers, and after a lengthy learning curve, you’ll
be typing on nothing in no time.
The multi-taking options are endless, and if you type a lot, could prevent nasty callous
from forming on your fingertips.
It’s still in beta-testing, and not ready for sale, but be on the lookout for this futuristic
finger saving option soon.
Circet Bracelet
It’s estimated that 70% of the global population will have smartphones in less than three years.
With phones getting bigger and pants getting tighter, there is going to be a lot of people
looking for alternatives to access the information on their phone without having to dig it out
of a small pocket or over-stuffed handbag.
The creators of Circet Bracelet agree, and are working on a bracelet-style wearable that
aims to project your phone screen on your arm, allowing you complete functionally of
your phone on your skin.
It’s still in development stage, and has a long way to go before it becomes a reality,
but just the thought of being able to send a tweet or launch a few angry avians from
your forearm is pretty rad.
Though, it does open the door to a whole new issue: GooseBump Dial.
Snapchat’s Spectacles
It’s hard to record the perfect video that captures your night out if you’re trying
to… you know… enjoy the evening.
Staying active on social media means sharing what’s happening, but if you’re always
holding your phone in front of your face, you’re going to miss what’right in front
of you.
Unless you invest in some Spectacles and record your world while looking cool.
Created by Snapchat, and only available to be used with their app, Spectacles gives you
a haute couture vibe, and allow you to record your surroundings without ever taking off
your sunglasses.
As with any new video technology, people are already wearing Spectacles while in the sack.
Though it can only record up to thirty seconds of video at a time, which is probably perfect
for me… uhh… umm…
I mean some men.
Spartan Briefs
Boys will always want to protect their balls, it’s why there are so many various sporting
good storage units… and Spartan Briefs.
We live in a digital world, with waves of data flowing around us, unseen to the human
eye.
Tiny amounts of radiation always emitting from phones, tablets, and laptops.
The debate on how much radiation actually comes from them is ongoing, but why take chances.
Looking stylish, and containing pure silver fibers interwoven with cotton, these underwear
are like a electromagnetic safe for your family jewels.
They were designed in Paris in an attempt to combine high-fashion to save your low-hanging
fruit.
They’re not cheap, about fifty bucks for a pair.
However, if you’re a techy teenager with dreams of being a father, keeping your swimmers
strong is a priority.
So cover those coconuts… and look FABULOUS doing so.
Recon Jet Glasses
If you play video games, particularity first-person-shooters, you’re familiar with the concept of Heads-Up
display.
The HUD serves as your information database, allowing you to play the game, while knowing
everything else going on.
In the more futuristic version of Call of Duty or Battlefield, your display can target
enemies, or survey terrain to let you see what you can’t see.
Wearable technologies isn’t quite there yet, but Recon is getting VERY close.
Aimed for athletes, but transitioning into workforce needs, their wearable sunglasses
can provide it’s user with the metrics they want to know, just below their right eye.
Including GPS and phone capabilities, along with friend tracking features and playlist
controls.
. They even created a snow google version, allowing it's users to see current elevations
and weather conditions so they can make smart decisions on which slopes to shred.
The line between human and machine is blurring more and more each minute.
While wearable tech may eventually lead to a world straight out of Terminator.
Chances are none of us will be around by the time the computers attempt to take over…
unless of course they start creating ways to make you live longer.
