Crazy Tech Gadgets You Probably Didn’t Know Existed
Just when you thought you’d caught up with foldable phones, smart salt shakers, robot vacuum cleaners, and robotic dogs, the tech world throws new surprises at you that are much crazier. Some of these gadgets are quirky yet functional, and will seem like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
You’ll probably have doubts that some of these devices even exist, seeing how absurd they are, but you can go ahead and Google them. These futuristic gadgets are indeed the representation that “the future is now.”
Kolibree Ara | The Smart Toothbrush
Who knew brushing teeth could be turned into a fun and insightful experience? The Kolibree Ara is the first AI-powered toothbrush that analyzes your spit, giving you health insights and records your brushing habits, including the frequency and duration of your brushing activities. It even captures your brushed zones and notifies you of areas you might have missed.
The toothbrush is connected to an app on your phone and offers a coaching program to educate you on the best brushing practices. For kids, the app has an interactive and fun game where the toothbrush turns into a joystick, making kids brush their teeth thoroughly and evenly as they play the game.
Cowarobot R1 | A Robot Suitcase That Follows You
Travelling can be a hectic experience, especially if you have heavy luggage or have ever lost your bag before and know how disappointing that feels. Cowarobot R1 is probably the best invention out there if you want to say goodbye to luggage worries.
The suitcase has sensors and uses AI to make it follow you everywhere you go. You don’t pull it or carry it; instead, it follows you right behind. The sensors allow it to dodge any obstacles with ease, and the additional GPS feature ensures you can track it in real time. All you have to do is pack your stuff and let the Cowarobot R1 suitcase do the rest.
Somnox Sleep Robot | A Gadget That Cuddles You to Sleep
Remember the Big Hero 6 movie with Baymax? The Somnox Sleep Robot isn’t a huge, warm, and inflatable robot that hugs you, but a small bean-shaped robotic pillow that can cuddle you to sleep. It mimics human breathing and comes with features that will end your insomnia struggles.
The device can play relaxing music, learn your sleep pattern and curate the best sleeping experience for you. Consider the Somnox Sleep Robot the ultimate sleep companion.
Orbii | The Floating Bluetooth Speaker
In the era of smart homes, Amazon and Apple introduced us to smart Bluetooth speakers that could play our favorite tunes through a simple voice command. But the Orbii offers a magical experience with a magnetically levitating speaker above its base.
It’s quite a mesmerizing sight to behold, and what’s even more impressive is the audio quality. The floating feature improves audio clarity by reducing sound vibration, and users get a 360° sound experience. Add customizable LED colors to the device, and it almost looks like you have alien tech in your house.
Woojer Vest Edge | A Haptic Feedback Gaming Vest
The ultimate gaming goal is to give the player a fully immersive environment that almost makes them one with the character on screen. A virtual reality headset inserts you into a gaming world, and a racing simulator lets you grab the wheel, hit the pedal and take corners like a professional driver.
However, the Woojer Vest Edge is by far the most mindblowing gaming invention. Using haptic feedback technology, players can feel games. That explosion or engine rumble is synced to a haptic feedback system across your torso, converting game effects into body vibrations. Games feel more real, and players get a step closer to experiencing their favorite video game characters.
Razer Project Valerie | The Triple-Screen Laptop
Still on gaming, the Razer Project Valerie is the least crazy device on the list, but it is impressive nonetheless. Instead of one screen, this laptop has two extra 4K displays, letting you not miss out on a thing.
The Razer Project Valerie is best for multi-tasking, content creation and of course, immersive gaming. Since playing more than one video game at the same time can be a challenge because of the level of concentration it needs, the laptop can work well with casino games. On one screen, you are spinning reels of slots, which don’t need much concentration, and on the other screens, you can be following up on table games like roulette or blackjack.
The Tap Strap Keyboard and Laser Keyboard | Keyless Boards
It’s hard to imagine there can be another way to type words on a keyboard without pressing buttons or using the screen keyboard. The Tap Strap Keyboard and Laser Projection Keyboard are gadgets that seem straight out of a Marvel movie.
The former is a device you wear on your knuckles like Thanos’ infinity stone gauntlet and transforms your fingers into a virtual keyboard. While the latter will have you looking like Tony Stark as it projects a virtual keyboard on any surface. Try any of these devices in a public space, and it is sure to trigger conversations and attract attention.
Why These Gadgets Are Awesome
Most “crazy” tech gadgets fail at one thing, and that’s functionality. You get a cool, futuristic-looking device that doesn’t do much. But not the gadgets listed above. Some like the innovative keyboards boost productivity, while others like the smart toothbrush can help in early diagnosis of diseases like diabetes or gum disease.
So, don’t shy away from making that crazy purchase. After friends or family are done being amazed by your recent purchase, you can proceed to explain how it works.
