We have seen great leaps in digital technology in the last five years. Smartphones, cloud computing, multi-touch tablets, are all innovations that revolutionized the way we live and work. However, believe it or not, we are just beginning. The technology will be even better. In the future, we could live like people in science fiction films.
Future TechnoLogic
Today's post is about 10 real-life products that are programmed to revolutionize the world as we know it. Prepare to control the desktop and slice Ninja fruit with your eyes. Get ready to print your own creative physical product. Get ready to immerse yourself in the virtual world, and interact with them. Come and spread the future with us.
1. Google Glass
Augmented Reality has already entered our lives in simulation experiments and application education forms, but Google is taking several steps higher with Google Glass. Theoretically, with Google Glass, you can see social media feeds, text, Google Maps, as well as navigate with GPS and take photos. You will also get the latest updates while on the ground.
Google Glass
It's really what we call vision, and it's absolutely possible given the fact that Google co-founder Sergey Brin has demo'ed glass with skydivers and creatives. Currently, the device is only available to some developers with a price of $ 1500, but expects other technology companies to try and build an affordable consumer version.
2. Form 1
As the term suggests, 3D printing is the technology that could forge your digital design into a solid, real-life product. It's nothing new for the advanced mechanical industry, but a personal 3D printer is definitely a revolutionary idea. Everyone can create their own physical product based on their custom design, and no necessary approval from any giant manufacturer! Even the James Bond Aston Martin that crashed into the movie was a 3D printed product!
Form 1
Form 1 is one of those 3D personal printers that can be yours for only $ 2799. It may sound like a high price, but to have the luxury of getting the production of your own prototypes, which is a reaonable price.Imagine a future where each individual professional has the ability to mass produce his own creative physical products without limitation. This is the future where personal productivity and creativity are maximized.
3. Oculus Rift
The Virtual Reality game is here in the form of Oculus Rift. This 3D headset that defines the story lets you mentally feel that you are inside a video game. In the virtual world of the Rift, you could turn your head around with ultra-low latency to see the world in high resolution display.
There are premium products on the market that can do the same, but Rift wants you to enjoy the experience at only $ 300, and the package even comes as a development kit. This is the beginning of the revolution for the next generation of games.

The timing is perfect as the world is currently bombarded with the virtual reality topic that could also be attributed to Sword Art Online, the anime series featuring the characters playing games in an entirely virtual world. While we’re getting there, it could take a few more years to reach that level of realism. Oculus Rift is our first step.
4. Leap Motion
The Multi-touch desktop is a (miserably) failed product due to the fact that the hands could be very tired with prolonged use, but Leap Motion wants to challenge this dark area again with a more advanced idea. Allows you to control the desktop with your fingers, but without touching the screen.
Leap Motion
It's not your typical motion sensor, as Leap Motion lets you scroll through the web page, zoom in on the map and photos, sign documents, and even play a first-person shooter with just hand and finger movements. Gentle reaction is the most crucial key point here. More importantly, you can own this future with only $ 70, a price of a PS3 game title of the bonus! If this device could work completely with Oculus Rift to simulate a real-time gaming experience, the game will get a big change.
5. Eye Tribe
Eye tracking has been actively discussed by technology enthusiasts over the years, but it is really difficult to implement. But Eye Tribe really did this. They successfully created technology to allow you to control your tablet, play flight simulator, and even slice fruit into Fruit Ninja just with your eye movements.
Eye Tribe
It's basically taking the common eye-tracking technology and combining it with a face-to-face camera, plus some serious computer vision algorithm, and voila, cutting fruit done with your eyes! A live demo was performed on LeWeb this year and we could actually see it in action on mobile devices in 2013.
Currently the company is still looking for society to bring this science-fiction technology into the consumer market but you and I know this product is simply too awesome to fail.

6. SmartThings
The current problem that most devices have is that they function as a stand-alone, and it requires effort for technology competitors to actually associate with themselves and build products that they can truly connect with each other. SmartThings is here for all your devices, digital or non-digital, to connect and benefit.
SmartThings
With SmartThings you can get your smoke alarms, humidity, pressure and vibration sensors to detect changes in your house and alert you through your smartphone! Imagine the possibilities with this.
You could track who’s been inside your house, turn on the lights while you’re entering a room, shut windows and doors when you leave the house, all with the help of something that only costs $500! Feel like a tech lord in your castle with this marvel.

7. Firefox OS
IOS and Android are great, but each has its own rules and policies that certainly inhibit the creative efforts of developers. Mozilla has since decided to build a new mobile operating system from scratch, which will focus on true openness, freedom and choice of users. It is the Firefox operating system. Firefox OS is based on software layers from Gonk, Gecko and Gaia - for the rest of us, it means it's built on open source, and takes web technologies like HTML5 and CSS3.
Firefox OS
Developers can create and publish web applications without blocking the requirements set by application stores, and users can even customize the operating system according to their needs. Currently, the operating system has made its debut in Android compatible phones, and printing so far, is great. You can use the operating system to perform essential tasks on iOS or Android: call friends, browse the Internet, take photos, play, everything is possible in Firefox, configured to balance the smart phone market.
8. Project Fiona
Meet the first generation of the game tablet. The Razer Fiona project is a serious gaming tablet built for hardcore games. Once it comes out, it will be the frontier for tablets of the future, as tech companies may want to build their own tablets dedicated to gaming, but for now Fiona is the only one likely to debut in 2013.
Project Fiona
This beast has the next generation of Intel® Core i7 processors designed to play all your favorite PC games, all in the palm of your hand. Crowned as the best maker of gaming accessories, Razer knows how to build the user experience directly on the tablet, and that means 3-axis gyro, magnetometer, accelerometer and a full screen UI that supports multitouch. My body and soul are ready.
9. Parallella
Parallella will change the way computers are made, and Adapteva offers you the opportunity to participate in this revolution. In short, it is a supercomputer for all. Basically, a low-power computer built to process complex software simultaneously and effectively. Real-time object tracking, holographic headend visualization, voice recognition will become even stronger and smarter with Parallella.
Parallella
The project has been successfully funded so far, with an estimated delivery date of February 2013. For a mini supercomputer, the price looks really promising as it is magically $ 99! It is not recommended for the non-programmer user and not Linux, but the kit is loaded with development software to create your personal projects. I never thought that the future of computing could be started with just $ 99, which is possible thanks to crowdfunding platforms.
10. Google Driverless Car
I could still remember the day I watch the iRobot as a teen, and being skeptical about my brother’s statement that one day, the driverless car will become reality. And it’s now a reality, made possible by… a search engine company, Google. While the data source is still a secret recipe, the Google driverless car is powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras inside the car, a sensor on the vehicle’s top, and some radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car. Sounds like a lot of effort to mimic the human intelligence in a car, but so far the system has successfully driven 1609 kilometres without human commands!
Google Driverless Car
"You can count on one hand the number of years it will take before ordinary people can experience this," said Google co-founder Sergey Brin. However, innovation is an achievement, consumerization is the headache, since Google is currently facing the challenge of forging the system into an affordable gem that all workers with an average salary could benefit.
