Google Glass:

Sergey Brin with Google Glass. |
Project Glass is a
research and development program by
Google to develop an
augmented reality Head-Mounted Display (HMD) named
Google Glass. Project Glass products display information in a
smartphone-like format
hands-free, and can interact with the Internet via
natural language voice commands.
The eye wear's functionality and minimalist appearance and uses Google's
Android operating system.
XBOX 720:
The 100% digital Xbox Prestige uses the foundations of
the previous 360 Kinect to form this completely controller-less gaming
console that’s even smaller than the Xbox Slim. A combination of motion
sensor technology, including not one but two cameras built into the
console, and integrated voice recognition make it a super responsive and
hands-free gaming powerhouse.
The KinectIN feature allows the user to purchase a game and simply
scan the chip to the console. Once scanned to the user’s profile, play
can begin in Microsoft Xbox Cloud or from the internal 2TB hard drive.
The console has an 8-core processor for super-speed performance up to
20 times faster than previous Xbox models. It supports 3D, 4K2K,
multiTV (DPConnect), live TV and webcam, as well as GPS that allows
users to view the location of any other user on an active map.
Nest:
Normally we wouldn’t get very excited about a new thermostat, but
the Nest has been designed by two former Apple employees who were
involved in the creation of the iPod and iPhone. The Nest learns your
habits every time you adjust it and automatically heats your house to
suit. It even lets you control the heating when you’re not in via the
mobile app. The makers of the device claim that this smart heating can
halve your fuel bills. It’s already available in the US, and we’ve been
told it’s likely to land in the UK in 2013.
