2. 1.Keen Home Smart Vent
You probably don’t use every room of
your home as much as you do, say, the
living room, kitchen or bedroom. So
why pay to heat all that extra room if
you hardly ever spend time there?
That’s the idea behind Keen Home
Smart Vent. Via an app, it allows you
set “zones” throughout your house so
you can control how cool or how warm
you’d like to keep that particular area
of your home, CNET reported. While
you’re free to open and close vents
manually, the system is capable of
detecting which parts of your humble
abode are cooler and which are warmer
to ensure you’ll always feel right at
home.
3. 2.Butterfleye home security
Home security just got a lot cheaper, thanks
to Butterfleye. The product’s megapixel IP
camera is smart enough to recognize you,
members of your family and even your pets to
ensure there aren’t any false alarms. If a
stranger who shouldn’t be in your home to
begin with is ever spotted inside, Butterfleye
uses your home Wi-Fi system to alert you via
an app.
But perhaps one of the best features is its
extended battery life. Capable of lasting up
to two weeks, it allows users to move the
camera about their homes without needing to
ensure there’s an electrical outlet nearby.
How can the battery last so long? Because of
the camera’s recognition features, users can
program it to only turn on when they’re not
at home, according to Texas Instruments.
4. 3.Smartphone-powered drone
The world’s eyes are on drones and for good
reason. Although this smartphone-powered
flying robot is still in its research phase at
the University of Pennsylvania, the final
product is almost sure to take off.
Because it’s powered by a device that
millions (perhaps even billions) of people
already own, the prototype could become
much more universal than the drones we’ve
already seen. The phone that currently
powers the drone is the Samsung Galaxy S5.
The phone uses vision-processing software
from Qualcomm Research, with whom the
University of Pennsylvania is partnering for
its research, allowing users to control the
flying robot with a mobile app, Technically
Philly reported.
5. 4.HP Zvr display
Take Internet gaming to a whole new
level with this 3-D enabled desktop
computer display from HP. Complete
with a pair of 3-D glasses, your virtual
view will change to match the correct
depth and focus as you move your head
back and forth or up and down,
according to PC Magazine. In addition,
a wired stylus allows users to move and
manipulate objects on the screen to
enhance the interactive experience.
6. 5.Ford Sync 3
Stay connected while you drive with a
variety of apps to help you get where you
need to get to go. Make a call just by saying
a name. Not a fan of the music that’s
playing on your stereo? Just say what you’d
like to listen to and Sync 3 will search for it.
And forget the hassle of trying to hold your
phone to your ear while getting into your
car. With Sync 3, your call is transferred
from your mobile device to your car the
moment you turn you turn the key.
7. 6.DJI Inspire One
In case you’ve ever wondered what, it
was like to shoot drone-quality video
from the palm of your hand, DJI has
just introduced the Inspire One
stabilizer camera. This new product
transforms the quality of smartphone
video into ultra-crisp 4K footage via a
mount that connects your phone to
the detached drone lens, The Verge
reported. That’s right. The days of
dizzying cell phone video are (finally)
coming to an end.
8. 7.Sling Television
Why pay hundreds of dollars per year so you
can watch a handful of channels that upset
you half the time because they play so many
reruns? Dish Network hears you – and your
wallet.
Sling Television is the newest, and as far as
most can tell, the only way you can watch
live TV without paying all that money. For
$20 per month, you can watch all your
favorite shows and games on ESPN, ESPN 2,
TBS, TNT, CNN, Cartoon Network, ABC
Family, Adult Swim, Travel Channel, Disney
Channel, Food Network and HGTV, according
to PC Magazine.
Cable cord cutters, your moment is about to
arrive.
9. 8.QNX automotive technology
Imagine never being involved in a fender
bender or car accident ever again.
That’s the idea behind QNX’s new advance
driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology.
It transforms the mirrors of a vehicle into
cameras that display a better view of the
area to which the car is moving. For example,
an object behind your vehicle while you’re
backing up that might otherwise be caught in
your “blind spot” can be easily seen on your
rearview mirror’s camera, Engadget reported.
Worried you might be too close to that curb?
Just take a look at your side view mirror
camera and you’ll know just how much room
you have (or don’t have) before you curb
check.
10. 9.Virtual camera system
In 3D video games, a virtual camera system aims at controlling a
camera or a set of cameras to display a view of a 3D virtual world.
Camera systems are used in videogames where their purpose is to
show the action at the best possible angle; more generally, they are
used in 3D virtual worlds when a third person view is required.
As opposed to film makers, virtual camera system creators have to
deal with a world that is interactive and unpredictable. It is not
possible to know where the player's character is going to be in the
next few seconds; therefore, it is not possible to plan the
shots as a film maker would do. To solve this issue, the system relies
on certain rules or artificial intelligence to select the most
appropriate shots.
There are mainly three types of camera systems. In fixed camera
systems, the camera does not move at all and the system displays
the player's character in a succession of still shots. Tracking
cameras, on the other hand, follow the character's movements.
Finally, interactive camera systems are partially automated and
allow the player to directly change the view. To implement camera
systems, video game developers use techniques such as constraint
solvers, artificial intelligence scripts, or autonomous agents.
11. 10.Laser keyboard
Laser keyboard is an innovative
product that lets you convert any
surface into a keyboard. The keyboard
connects to any device with a
Bluetooth such as your iPad or cell
phone. A projection keyboard/laser
keyboard is a form of computer input
device whereby the image of a virtual
keyboard is projected onto a surface:
when a user touches the surface
covered by an image of a key, the
device records the corresponding
keystroke. Some connect to Bluetooth
devices, including many of the latest
smartphone, tablet, and mini-PC
devices with Android, iOS or Windows
platform.
12. 11.Stirring Mug
If you love a life of luxury, the
self-stirring mug is for you. The
self-stirring mug will keep your
coffee frothy and nicely blended
till last
sip, without the need of a spoon.
Here is a video of the mug in
action.

thinking we used when we created them. [A. Einstein]
