Futuristic gadgets that will revolutionize the world in next 10 years

What do you get when you fuse a scanner, printer and screen into a single device? The answer is Document Extractor - a fascinating yet simple concept contrived by designer Byeong Min Choe. The machine will be composed of a fully interactive touch-screen monitor and a tray (space) behind it for to keep the paper sheets. This zone will be utilized for printing the required data on the paper, after which they will slide out form a lower opening. This opening will also be used to slide in components for the purpose of scanning.

Imagine a table with a 30 inch multi-touch interactive display embedded on its top surface. Now, that would be the 'Surface' - a new line of product from the exalted Microsoft, supposedly based upon their earlier 'PlayAnywhere' technology. The intelligent monitor will be powered by Windows Vista OS, while its multi-touch attributes and substantial specifications will allow the user to partake in a wide range of multimedia activities.

Apple has always been known for their artistic innovation regarding their wide range of electronic designs. This time, they are planning on creating an advanced set of wearable video screens. At the first instance they may look like some stylized version of sunglasses. But within them, they will incorporate video/audio playback with state-of-the-art HD features, taking advantage of the limited spectrum of the user's eyes.

A laptop that comes with a price tag of $75 and is fully bendable! Now this may seem a little far-fetched, but that is exactly what FuseProject - in collaboration with renowned designer Yves Behar - aims to design. To be created entirely from flexible plastic, theXO-3 laptop will include touch-screen keyboard as well as omni-directional (both vertical and horizontal) reading modes. Moreover being integrated with interactive games, the conception will be apt for children.

Christened as the Personal Force Field Suit, this specialized attire from Frog Vision can literally generate electricity from sensing one's state of nervousness and heart rate. Created from weaving conductive filaments into fabric, the clothing's electric force-field can give out a 'shock' to a late night mugger. Moreover, it can also charge gadgets when they are placed inside the pocket folds.

The German giants Mercedes and Bosch have conceptualized the Splitview, a dual LCD screen that will be placed on the front dashboard. This dual functionality will allow two different set of images to be viewed from the user's perspective. For example, a navigation image will crop up in front of the driver for his maneuvering assistance, while a secondary video (can be movie, clips or channels) will be available to the other front passenger. This plural mechanism is achieved by a second image being fed on adjacent pixels, while a masking filter divides the combined image into different sets of perspective for viewers.

Another ingenious conception from Apple, this contraption will rather work as a complimentary feature to conventional Apple products. Named as the iWatch, the aluminium framed device with 16 GB memory will contain a plethora of applications including RSS reader, WiFi, Bluetooth and even a weather forecast system. But the defining attribute of the watch will be its in-built LCD projector for displaying images from its i-cousins such as the iPad and iPhone.

A contemporary styled sleek laptop with OLED touchscreen keyboard and a specially made 'sen-stylus' - this is in short is the Compenion laptop, conceptualized by designer Felix Schmidburger. It will have different dock set-ups related to the essence and functionality of different locations. In other words, the laptop will feature a normal monitor and keyboard in an office setting, while a separate dock with a built-in projector (for big screen videos) can hooked up in a home environment.

Finally we have come across a conception that hinges on its inherent conscientiousness. Basically a LCD display watch, the product will incorporate a multi-colored LED back-light for convenient night-time viewing. But the fascinating feature of the contraption will be its integrated Alcohol Test Function. After a peg or two, if you push the button, the machine will automatically detect and exhibit your body alcohol level (by displaying green to red screen color). Well in our books, it is certainly a trusty companion during those late night driving sprees.

In simpler terms, the Spy Nano is a watch, but not just an ordinary one. Designed by one Delhi based company, this James Bond-esque gadget comes with a multi-function keyboard and an inconspicuous microphone. This hand set-up in turn is connected (in a wireless fashion) to an ear-piece or a hearing aid. It also comes with voice dialing and an extended battery life of more than 6 hours, to make highfalutin spying that much easier.
