Upcoming Technologies That Can Change The human Life

1.Google Glass:-Google Glass is basically optical head-mounted display,it is designed in the shape of a pair of eyeglasses.On January 15, 2015, Google announced that it would stop producing the Google Glass prototype but remained committed to the development of the product

2.Leap Motion:-Leap Motion, Inc. is an American company that manufactures and markets a computer hardware sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as input, analogous to a mouse, but requires no hand contact or touching.The technology for Leap Motion was first developed in 2008, while co-founder David Holz was studying for a Ph.D. in mathematics. Following an initial angel investment, Holz co-founded the company in 2010 with his childhood friend Michael Buckwald. The company raised a $1.3M seed financing round in June 2011 with investments from venture capital firms Andreessen HorowitzFounders Fund, and SOSV, as well as several angel investors.In May 2012, Leap Motion announced a $12.75M Series A funding round led by Highland Capital Partners. In January 2013, Leap Motion announced a further series B round of funding for $30M


3.Google’s Self-Driving Cars:-Google self-driving car is any in a range of autonomous cars, developed by Google X as part of its project to develop technology for mainly electric cars. The software installed in Google's cars is named Google Chauffeur. Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a "self-driving car". The project was formerly led by Sebastian Thrun, former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View. Thrun's team at Stanford created the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and its US$2 million prize from the United States Department of Defense. The team developing the system consisted of 15 engineers working for Google, including Chris Urmson, Mike Montemerlo, and Anthony Levandowski who had worked on the DARPA Grand and Urban Challenges.


4.Glasses-Free 3D TV:-Consumers never really took to 3D TV. Perhaps it was the need for glasses (passive and active), the lack of quality content or the overall cost. Whatever the case, rarely has anyone been heard saying, "Why don't you come over to my house to watch some 3D football."
At least one of those hurdles, though, is about to fade away as StreamTV Networks finally starts to deliver practical, consumer- and retail-grade glasses-free 3D displays called Ultra-D. The company announced on Tuesday at CES that it has finally begun production and shipping of a wide array of glasses-free 3D displays for home, business and mobile.

5.Face Cloning:-Disney Research has proposed a complete process for designing, simulating, and fabricating synthetic skin for an animatronics character that mimics the face of a given subject and its expressions. This process starts with measuring the elastic properties of a material used to manufacture synthetic soft tissue.

6.Form 1 3D Printer:-The Form 1 combines great design and solid engineering to simplify the entire printing process. It utilizes Stereolithography (SL) technology to achieve the highest resolution available in 3D printing, blowing away plastic extrusion (FDM) performance.

7.Bio Technology:-Bionic Hand controlled by brain signals. It does allow people without fingers to have fully functional hands that can pick up and handle delicate objects. It is completely controlled by the brain and requires no surgery. Touch Bionics, the company the produces the Pro Digits hand, is able to install the hand complete with “living skin,” a plastic covering resembling human skin, for under $50,000. A small price to pay for a new hand I think.

8.Invisible Bike Helmets:-The device is a mobile airbag which will supposedly replace all those unstylish bicycle helmets. It’s contained in a scarf which is worn around your neck, and at the moment of impact it inflates and forms a protective cushion around your head.mThe Invisible Bike Helmet was created by Hovding, a Swedish technology company.

9.Face Scanners:-The technology was developed by FaceFirst, and even in a crowd you can’t escape their watchful eye: FaceFirst can track each individual face on a camera feed and run matches at the same time – and all of this happens live. Here’s a quote from the CEO of FaceFirst, Joseph Rosenkrantz:
“Within just a couple of seconds whoever needs to know receives an email containing all the evidence and stats about the person identified along with the video clip of them passing the camera so they may be approached then and there.”
