When I first set eyes on the GMC dust buster, I thought it was a new design of some model spaceship. (at least it looked so in the pictures) It has a horizontally elliptical shape, which is quite an interesting look for a domestic dust buster really! Its handle is positioned directly over the vacuum cleaner’s weight, so it’s easy to maneuver. It is also equipped with a fold-away nozzle that makes the product safer and more appropriate to the kitchen environment.

When it comes to fast-forward and weird digital watches, nobody can compete TokyoFlash because it’s just what the youth need. Once again, TokyoFlash has come up with a new concept watch design that uses e-paper to show the time in negative space. But I do have to tell you that it takes some getting used to as you have to see the time by looking for the digital numbers between the dark dots. The watch boasts of a Bluetooth connectivity that vibrates and alerts you about messages and call notifications.

Here’s a futuristic device that you may be using in the next 5 to 10 years time. A new technology introduced at the CeBIT fair aims to transform lip movements into a computer generated voice for the listener on the other end of the cellphone. The device was developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and uses Electromyography to monitor tiny muscular movements that occur when speaking and then converts them into electrical pulses that can be turned into speech. The technology currently uses electrodes that are glued to the skin, but in the future, such electrodes could be incorporated into the cellphone. The technology is particularly viable for those who have lost their voice due to illness or accident, or passing on confidential information without anyone eavesdropping.
