Tanvas Touch

Up till now we could only imagine technology, which creates and displays virtual reality that you can actually feel. Northwestern University researchers at the McCormick School of Engineering have developed a revolutionary touch screen that enables you to feel what you see. You can create and enjoy dynamic textures, multi sensory experiences and rich interactions using this amazing technology. Yes, you can feel the actual material of the picture on your screen. The texture and vibrations will create the same sensation as you feel while touching the actual object, for example if you are playing a virtual guitar, you will actually feel the guitar strings. Online shopping will definitely benefit from this revolution. Imagine feeling the silky fabric of a silk garment on your touchscreen.

Power Ray 

This swimming robot made headlines last year. This drone has been designed especially for fishing entusiasts; it can dive 98 feet underwater. The UHD camera which is 4k allows 4 hour coverage with the help of an app suitable for most phones. With the help of a WIFI and the app you can locate fish and navigate the robot. It can detect fish up to 132 feet and, with the help of its blue light, the fish are lured in.

Fidget Spinner

This gadget was initially created as far back as 1990 but became popular in 2017. It was made for toning down distraction, but ironically became a distraction itself. Banned in most schools, this toy/gadget is popular amongst the generation of today, because the youngsters say that adults don’t understand the vision. It has a bearing in the centre and is made from different materials like stainless steel, copper, brass and plastic. This product is supposed to relieve stress. A debatable but fun and popular gadget, I suggest one must try it out once at least. Price varies according to the design.

LeEco Smart Road & Mountain Bike

This cool bike that has a four inch touch screen attached to it, showing you maps and word to word directions. It even records all your fitness details, which you can share later with your trainer or friends. This bike can also play music online and offline. The walkie talkie attached allows you to talk to other people with LeEco bike. Both the mountain and road bikes have similar features. All the gadgets attached are water resistant and the display comes with rechargeable batteries. These bikes have been created by a Chinese company and they are to be available on the market soon.

New iPads

Finally in 2017, iPads are being refreshed and updated, with emphasis on screen size and pencil stylus. The improvements will be made focusing on the Pro line. We cannot wait!

Google Smartwatch

Google delayed its big software update for Android watches until 2017, and now the company will be launching a new watch. These circular smartwatches are Google’s strategy to add new interest to the market for buyers. Let’s see if they can duplicate Apple’s success of the Apple watch or fall flat.

Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung’s opportunity to recover from the losses incurred by Galaxy Note 7 will come with the launch of a new and improved phone. In the spring of 2017, Galaxy S8 is to be launched. The company announced the addition of an artificial intelligence/personal assistance named Viv, programmed by the same people who made Siri. Sounds like fun!

All 4 products are to be launched in 2017. I personally cannot wait to explore the specs of each one of them.
