00:00If you like playing video games, you know how important it is to be immersed in the story.
00:07Whether it's through the graphics, the sounds, or the dialogue, the more the game draws you in, the better the experience is.
00:15What if I told you that soon enough you could purchase a gadget that literally allows you to feel the game you're playing?
00:23It's in the form of a vest, and it would allow you to have various sensations like rain, wind, fire, and even experience damage.
00:34More so, the sensations are spatialized, meaning if you look up, you'll only feel raindrops on your chest.
00:41Paired with VR glasses, this combo sounds like the future of video games.
00:47We might be able to directly use the sun's power to charge your phones, too.
00:52There are two types of such gadgets, those that you simply connect to your phone and place in direct sunlight.
00:59Then there's the more advanced type, which also features a battery.
01:03You can leave it to charge and then use its energy whenever you need to.
01:08If you've been on a social media cleanse recently, you've probably missed the tiny AI robot that has taken over the internet.
01:17It became so popular because there are a thousand different ways in which it can interact with you.
01:23It can help tune into your favorite music, play online games with you, and even cheer you up when you're down.
01:29Not to mention it can help with household chores.
01:32This tiny robot can double up as an alarm clock.
01:35It can turn off the lights if you set a certain bedtime, or even take your picture if you ask him to.
01:42All the while moving independently and making decisions of his own.
01:46Not to mention, he can even get annoyed at you if he's feeling fussy.
01:52Fidget spinners used to be all the rave when it came to stress relief a little while back.
01:57Well, there's a brand new gadget out there that's like a holographic fidget spinner.
02:02This coin can spin smoothly for up to 12 minutes while showing mesmerizing pictures of galaxies.
02:10It uses real-life footage to display some of the best images in our universe.
02:15Not only that, but it's also a cool object to place on your desk whenever you don't feel like using it.
02:22Travel a lot? You might be interested in this next-level travel pillow.
02:28It's designed in the shape of a loop and works best for people traveling long distances.
02:34Because it's made of sensitive memory foam, it helps to better support your chin while you sleep.
02:39Not to mention, you can control the temperature of the pillow so you'll never feel too hot while wearing it.
02:47Travel water bottles are a nice way to stay hydrated when traveling or working out, but cleaning them can be a burden.
02:54After a while, most water bottles become too stinky or stained to be used anymore.
03:00One cool concept to help with this hassle is a self-cleaning water bottle.
03:05That's because it has built-in elements that purify the water and get rid of the bad smells.
03:11Thanks to the layers it has inside, you can even gather water from rivers and enjoy it after it's been filtered by the techie bottle.
03:19Lastly, it's also insulated to help keep your beverages the desired temperature and cleans itself often, like every two hours.
03:28Not all of us have houses with a great view, but this futuristic gadget can help a bit if you're yearning for beautiful city lights at your window.
03:38That's because this gadget of the future can let you customize your own view.
03:43It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the ocean waves or mountain peaks, you can have them both.
03:49You can also connect it to your smartphone and replay memories of your own.
03:54Calling out all Jetsons fans, flying cars may be closer to us than we imagine.
04:00Firstly, because our standard roads are getting pretty crowded with each passing year, it's reasonable to think we'll soon need to look into other means of transportation.
04:11There are a lot of flying car concepts out there too.
04:14Some look like giant drones, some like smaller airplanes, while others simply look like cars with wings.
04:22Other types of flying transportation might be available soon too, like jetpacks.
04:29When it was first introduced to the tech market, the touchscreen was revolutionary.
04:34But these days, it seems we're getting closer to gesture-based computing.
04:39It means simply using your hands to dictate to your computer what to do, without having to use a screen, a mouse, or a pad.
04:47A lot of researchers and scientists are already developing innovative technologies on the subject,
04:53like those at the MIT Media Lab that recently introduced a digital display featuring a Pinscreen.
05:01This Pinscreen is simply a sheet of dull pins that takes the shape of a 3D object when pressed against it.
05:08Until then, some devices do allow us to use our voices to perform certain activities.
05:16On the same note, our phones might become obsolete too, since it seems that wearable screens are already on their way.
05:24Sure, we might be enjoying foldable phones now, but the future does look to be screenless.
05:30This technology involves using projectors that are also touch-capable.
05:35You might be able to project your screen directly onto your clothes or hands.
05:40But who's to say we couldn't have something implanted directly into our skin to make it wearable also?
05:47Imagine walking barefoot without damaging your feet.
05:51It's possible these days you'll just need these weird-looking pairs of shoes.
05:56They look like they're made out of chainmail, but they don't make any noise and won't rust in the future.
06:02They also provide insulation and don't make any metallic noises when walking in them.
06:083D printers are being used for all sorts of technologies these days, but can you imagine being able to also 3D print food?
06:17For now, food 3D printing is limited to certain textures and consistencies, like purees, mousses, or ganache.
06:26Also, for now, 3D food printers don't actually cook the food, they just assemble it.
06:32Nevertheless, there are a lot of high-end restaurants out there that are already experimenting with food 3D printing.
06:40And speaking of meals of the future, we might soon be introduced to a fridge that orders food for us.
06:47It scans its containing bottles and jars and sends a list of groceries to your local e-market, so you'll never be out of your favorite snacks.
06:55More so, it lets you know if something's gone bad, and you need to take a trip to the garbage disposal bin too.
07:02It's way better for our eating habits also.
07:06Most people say they're tempted to buy unhealthy food because they go to the store on an empty stomach.
07:12Since you won't be going shopping at all and only have specific items delivered to you, your pants might soon start to fit better as well.
07:19Continuing the list of smart household items, you might be soon introduced to the toothbrush that can chat with your dentist.
07:27Sure, that feels a bit like a betrayal, but if it can help with preventing cavities or plaque buildup, why not?
07:35We already have smart toothbrushes on the market with built-in sensors that check if you're washing your teeth correctly,
07:42so you shouldn't be surprised if they add this feature in the future too.
07:47On that same note, owning smart mirrors may soon be the first step in taking care of our health.
07:54Just by taking a quick look in the mirror, this futuristic gadget can perform a quick scan to see if you're looking pale or have really bad dark circles.
08:04Based on these cues, it can suggest underlying problems or inform you when it's time to go to the bathroom.
08:09Robotic exoskeletons are already available for some workers to give them extra strength and abilities.
08:16But in the future, they might also be useful for those who have problems with walking, for example.
08:22Sure, we do have some simpler technologies for now, but providing people with their full range of motion with this technology might soon be available.
08:31One really creative company has been experimenting with ways to use sand for creating energy and turn it into batteries.
08:39Since sand can heat up to 930 degrees Fahrenheit, it can be used to store energy.
08:46When needed, it can be discharged and warm the water and environment.
08:51That's it for today.
08:52So, hey, if you pacified your curiosity, then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
