Smart Swimming Goggles

If you are an avid diver then I am sure you will appreciate the concept of the Smart Swimming Goggles. This simple eye cover actually assists with communication between divers and capturing of memories in photo and video format. The Goggles include functions like built-in GPS, ‘call’ button, 3-D Camera, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Specs:

  • The built-in GPS component shows the location of other divers.
  • A ‘call’ button on the left side of the goggles allows you to call another diver, and the display shows the progress of the call.
  • A 3D camera on the top of the goggles allows you to take 3D photos of the scenes you see.
  • A ‘shot’ button on the left of the goggles activates the camera.
  • The images can be sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone or smart TV.
  • An information display reveals details about the fish or plant life that you see. Other information necessary for safe underwater activities (such as oxygen level and current) is also shown.

Designed for the seeing-impaired, the Touch It watch makes it possible to feel rather than view time on its face. Hours and minutes are represented by raised bumps that rotate underneath a flexible surface, providing a tactile way of reading the time. While it was designed primarily for the blind, it’s also a great way to check the time without being rude!

The Z Cool Fridge

The Z-Refrigerator is a refrigerator, which has the function of professional cook’s fridge and is the size of a double-door fridge. It is has the Z structure; when door is opened to the left, there is a large space, and to the right is a space where drinks and instant food can be stored. The fridge also saves energy by minimizing the amount of cold air escaping at once. I think I like it more for its funky design more than anything else!
