00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the coolest and most exciting
00:09 tech that you can buy in 2023.
00:12 For this list we're looking at various pieces of intriguing, useful and game-changing tech
00:16 that's not only cool, but is actually attainable, or at least ready to pre-order right now.
00:21 And hey, if you like any of these cool gadgets and gizmos and want to get one for yourself,
00:26 purchase links are in the description below.
00:34 If you can speak 40 different languages, then hats off to you.
00:37 If you can't, these M3 earbuds from Time Kettle can help you out.
00:40 Clever translation tech has been around for a while now, but these earbuds are designed
00:44 for culture-hungry travellers who want to communicate seamlessly and instantly with
00:48 those who speak another language.
00:54 Use listen mode to translate a speaker's language right into your ear, or use speaker
00:57 mode to translate your own language into theirs.
01:00 These things are not only convenient, but they can genuinely help you better immerse
01:03 yourself in culture when travelling the world.
01:11 You no longer have to fear causing an international incident when asking where the nearest restroom
01:15 is.
01:23 Remember Smell-O-Vision?
01:25 It was a concept that was difficult to wrap your nostrils around, right?
01:28 I mean, imagine being able to smell the movie or TV show you're watching.
01:34 Well, AromaJoyne has made this a reality, using what it calls "aroma shooters",
01:38 small devices that emit various different smells.
01:41 And it plans to release a neck-wearable device that incorporates these aroma shooters, and
01:45 can be worn while watching videos.
01:47 This smell-emitting necklace can house up to six cartridges, each offering a different
01:51 scent, from fresh fruit to a smoking gun.
01:58 And you can programme these smells to be emitted during specific visual and musical cues of
02:02 whatever you're watching.
02:04 Want to smell the salty, icy seas of Dunkirk?
02:06 Or perhaps the mountainous mosque of the Overlook Hotel?
02:09 Well, now you can.
02:10 Just be sure to pack some snowshoes and a trike for that last one.
02:20 The pandemic made us all rethink our hygiene regimes, and world-renowned vacuum brand Dyson
02:25 also went back to the drawing board to incorporate air-purifying tech in a pair of headphones,
02:29 no less.
02:30 Yes, these things offer impressive sound quality, but the reason these headphones are on this
02:33 list is because of their detachable visor that purifies the air you breathe.
02:39 Two electrostatic carbon filters help remove pollutants and blow fresher air into your
02:43 mouth and nose.
02:45 And you can even track your air quality stats through the Dyson app.
02:48 Will you look a bit like Bane from Batman?
02:50 Sure.
02:51 But if you're frequently travelling through smoggy cities and stuffy underground train
02:57 stations, the Dyson Zone headphones might make a surprising amount of sense.
03:03 We know Big Whoop.
03:05 Everyone has an Apple Watch, right?
03:09 Well, the Apple Watch Ultra range is a little bit different, because it's the tech brand's
03:13 first crack at making a tough, go-anywhere version of the wearable.
03:17 And that's pretty exciting.
03:18 It may not be Casio G-Shock tough, but the Ultra 2 comes with sapphire glass, a titanium
03:22 frame and 100m of water resistance, so it will handle pretty much anything you throw
03:27 at it.
03:28 The Ultra 2 also has the longest battery life of any Apple Watch to date, with 36 hours
03:32 from a single charge.
03:33 And when it comes to traversing the outdoors, its bigger and brighter display, quick launch
03:37 action button and built-in emergency siren will help give peace of mind to budding survivalists.
03:47 Electric bikes have been through many different iterations, each offering an eco-conscious
03:51 way to traverse a city, but unfortunately, they're usually just as bulky as regular
03:56 road bikes.
03:57 The GoCycle G4, however, isn't.
04:02 This is a foldable bike.
04:04 Much like the classic Brompton bikes of old, the GoCycle G4 is designed to be easier to
04:08 take on and off public transport, and store at home or in the office.
04:11 And of course, there's an electric motor at its core, offering up to 40 miles of range.
04:16 You even get a USB port so you can charge your phone on the go.
04:18 It may not be quite as cool and futuristic-looking as a Lightcycle from Tron, but it's certainly
04:23 a step up from the traditional pushbike.
04:30 The go-to for action cams used to be GoPro, but the tides are changing, with tons of brands
04:34 introducing some seriously impressive 360 cameras.
04:38 But Insta360 gets our nod for this list, with the Insta360 X3 representing one of the best
04:43 action cameras money can buy.
04:47 The creative possibilities with this camera are seemingly endless, thanks in part to its
04:51 invisible selfie stick feature.
04:53 Its flow state stabilisation, various shooting modes, up to 5.7K resolution and the ability
04:58 to reframe and choose your favourite shot after the fact all make this a must-have for
05:02 casual travellers and passionate vloggers.
05:07 Being able to achieve third-person-like tracking shots by yourself is really next-level stuff.
05:13 It's easy to drown in the sheer amount of home gym equipment out there, but this smart
05:18 mirror from Lululemon kind of rewrites the book on home workouts.
05:22 First off, it's not a bulky piece of kit that takes up a ton of space.
05:25 It's a mirror, and it looks awesome.
05:27 It's effectively designed to be a one-stop shop for workout sessions of any kind, and
05:31 instant personal trainer access, with over 10,000 different fitness classes available
05:35 at your fingertips.
05:40 And you can pay a little bit extra, and have live personal trainer sessions too, with the
05:43 mirror allowing you to communicate back and forth.
05:45 We know what you're thinking, where was this during Covid?
05:50 Virtual reality gaming is far from a new concept, but certain gaming systems pull it off more
05:54 effectively than others, and we think the MetaQuest 3 is the one to go for if you want
05:58 a no-nonsense, immersive VR experience that doesn't rely on an external gaming system
06:03 like a PC.
06:06 The Quest 3 offers wireless VR, an expansive library of downloadable games, an impressive
06:10 Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, and improved peripheral visuals thanks to its pancake lenses.
06:16 It's a solid standalone system that will suit both hardcore gamers and those who want
06:19 to explore the world from the comfort of their own living room.
06:22 Dystopian future style.
06:29 Now for something remarkably different.
06:31 A wearable for your toilet that's capable of detecting, measuring and reporting on your
06:35 current health status by reading your urine sample.
06:40 This small, pebble-like device features built-in cartridges, and it's designed to sit inside
06:44 your toilet bowl.
06:45 It's able to measure 100 different parameters of your urine, in order to deliver health
06:50 stats.
06:51 We're already used to wearing smart watches that help advise on health-related lifestyle
06:54 changes, but the Withings U-Scan takes things a step further, and turns each visit to the
06:59 bathroom into a quick health check.
07:23 AI has rapidly become a part of everyday life, and with some of the AI tech available, you've
07:27 really got to see it to believe it.
07:29 Although there's tons of handheld, purchasable AI devices out there, we wanted to include
07:33 a relatively simple product that you can access anywhere.
07:36 ChatGPT.
07:37 Developed by OpenAI, this nifty search engine like Chatbot is capable of scouring the internet
07:47 and answering a whole bunch of questions, with detailed, essay-like answers, in a matter
07:52 of seconds.
07:53 ChatGPT represents a quick glimpse into the advanced AI tech that's yet to come, and
07:57 how it can be easily integrated into our everyday lives, for the better.
08:01 Let's just hope it stays friendly, eh?
