7 technological innovations that we could only dream of before

1. Headphones with built-in translator

Waverly Ambassador Translator - headphones with a built-in translator supporting 20 languages and 42 dialects. It works like this. You speak, for example, Russian, and your interlocutor speaks English. The system automatically translates the cues and broadcasts them to the headphones.

The gadget is suitable not only for one-on-one conversations, but also for collective conversations: through a special application, you can connect up to four translators. Also, headphones imply alternate use by different people, therefore, they have a "hygienic" design: the device does not fit into the auricle and does not get dirty.

2. Heated cup

The ceramic cup from Ember connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and is controlled via an app. It sets the required temperature - you can choose from several options for different drinks. The cup will keep warm for an hour. You can drink coffee for a long time, doing other things, and it will not cool down.

3. Glasses with built-in speakers

Glasses from the Bose Frames series look stylish and reliable: the lenses are made of high-quality glass, and the temples fix the metal hinges. But their main feature is in the electronic filling. Behind the bows there are small speakers and a button for receiving calls. With the help of an accessory, you can listen to music, make calls and use a voice assistant.

4. Mixed reality glasses

The glasses from Nreal also look like ordinary ones, but inside there are some of the works of futuristic writers. Putting on an accessory, you will be able to see virtual objects in reality, and with the help of a standard controller with a tactile response, you will be able to interact with them.

The start of sales of the device is scheduled for 2020. There is no information yet on what content will be provided to the owners of the glasses. However, it is known that with their help it will be possible to watch movies and TV series, as well as play specially designed games on productive Android smartphones.

5. Electric motorcycle

A motorcycle from Harley-Davidson accelerates to 100 km / h in 3 seconds, makes almost no noise and has no speed or grip - just turn the handle to start. The manufacturer claims that on a single charge of an electric motorcycle you can drive up to 225 km, taking into account the large number of stops, starting off and following highways.

The LiveWire Motorcycle can be charged from a regular room outlet overnight. For faster charging, you will have to visit a special station where the battery will be restored in an hour.

6. Automatic feeder that recognizes the cat

When there are several pets in the house, it is not so easy to feed them. For food, real competition can begin, and everything will go to the most agile. The Volta Mookie Smart Bowl will help solve this problem. It is equipped with a camera and opens only when it detects the approach of a familiar face. If each animal has its own smart bowl, you don't have to worry that someone is hungry.

Also, the device can send notifications to the smartphone that the cat has eaten, and record confirmation videos for the owner.

7. Clothes folding machine

American startup Foldimate has created a machine that can be loaded with T-shirts, pants, shirts, bed linen and towels. At the exit, she will give out things, folded in a perfect pile.

A working prototype looks like a huge printer, so Foldimate is raising money to create a new one. The main goal is to make the device smaller.
