Imagine the situation that you are in the modern metropolis, where you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not comfortable situation, because in the modern, aggressive cities there are no opportunity to rest and relax.

If you want to sleep, while waiting your plane or train, it may cause many security and hygiene problems. We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable for people. For this purpose we have developed a device SLEEPBOX. 

After a long day at work it’s always nice to get a massage.

The Panasonic Portable Neck Massager comes in bright green, grey and pink, so even though it may not match your suit, it’ll sure as hell alleviate some stress in the neck area.

It only requires a pair of CR2032 batteries to keep it going, but the bad news is that it’s part of Panasonic’s Japanese division, meaning it’s not available anywhere else. However, there is a chance that it’ll make its way into other markets, so there is hope.

Imagine a Flashlight that can not only guide you in the dark but can also guide you in the right direction.

Tamtam flash takes its user by the hand and on a playful discovery tour, just like a local that shows him around, but pocked-sized and always there. tamtam flash resembles a flash light, it lights its user the way and helps him feel secure in a foreign environment.

But instead of lighting the dark with a cone of light, it projects navigation information on the user’s path and thus generates an immediate, intuitive way of navigation. In case the user gets lost, he can project a usual map on any surface. This map is zoomable and scrollable like any digital map.

This earphone detects eye movement and uses it to control music playback as well as volume levels. How this works is that the earpieces are actually electrodes. As the eye shifts position, the electrical potential between them changes.

This signal is captured and converted into instructions for a compatible mobile phone. The system works even when the eyes are closed.

Just announced today, the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 is Logitech's latest addition to its input device family. At US$99, this keyboard and mouse combo offers an inexpensive incentive to get rid of those clumsy peripherals that came bundled with your desktop computer. Logitech also claims that the combo can get more than three years of juice from four AA batteries.
