Check out Miku, Owlet, Raybaby, Smartbeat, and Monfoxy to see what’s going on in this space. These are certainly not your parents’ baby monitors.

Haptic devices are getting popular. Space-aged smart suits, gloves and shoes, and even mid-air haptic devices are giving us a glimpse into the future of gaming and the immersive VR experience. Electrical stimulation, heat control, motion sensing, and integration with a number of gaming systems – the ultimate gaming platform is upon us. Check out companies like Teslasuit, Ultrahaptics, Cybershoes, Brilliant Sole, and bHaptics to see some of the latest technologies that let you touch and feel virtual reality.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

Willow came out and was a game changer, and this year there is the Elvie Pump. This new breast pump gives women another option when it comes to quiet, portable pumping. The near silent, USB-charged, app-connected device collects milk in a re-usable portion of the device so you aren’t going through disposable bags with each use. Awareness and advancement of technologies in the area of women’s health is a much appreciated and needed improvement in recent years, and one that will hopefully continue to grow.

CLEANING ROBOTS

The Coral One utilizes an unprecedented combination of innovative smart sensors to ensure it avoids obstacles with ease and tackles tough terrain effortlessly.

We’re not quite there yet, but the feature rich products and applications are finding their niche. Check out ORBI, Aris MD, Vue, Vuzix,Thirdeye, Dreamworld, Everysight, Mira Labs, and Senaptec for some of the new offerings this year.
