New sunglasses will do more than protect your eyes from UV rays - they will also harness power from the sun to top off mobile gadgets. The sunglasses will be made from a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses that have been fitted with photovoltaic cells on the plastic ear pieces. The cells will collect solar rays to charge a battery embedded in the frame, and the ear pieces can be removed to reveal a microUSB or Lightening connector that can be used to charge an iPhone.

The new umbrella will let you text in the rain, and will also offer a comfortable option for arthritis or carpal tunnel sufferers. The new umbrella difference will lie in its unique grip made up of four finger holes and a soft, ergonomic handle. The rubber material of the hand will conform to the user's hand for maximum comfort and will be strong enough to hold up to stormy conditions. The grip will also leave both thumbs free for texting, because texting doesn't stop just because...

This will be cool to have an eyeglass holder for men and women that will be small, strong, and simple. The holder will go on the outside, and the magnet on the inside. They will find each other with a click.

Why not take advantage of the natural sweetener xylitol to create a shoe that will convert sweat to cool air. The cycling shoe will include an insole, which will help to keep heat from building up within the shoe. The insole will be infused with xylitol, an alcohol based sugar. The fibers in the insole will be able to moderate both moisture and temperature, absorbing body heat and converting it to a 'refrigerant'.

A shoe with an integrated GPS system will provide real time tracking, making keeping track of family and patients with dementia a simpler task. The system will use a low power two way GPS to constantly track the wearer in real time, allowing caregivers to receive an alert on their cell phone if their charge wanders out of range.

The idea is to design shoes that will use haptic feedback and Google Maps to guide the visually impaired to their destination. The shoes will be intended to guide the user to specific destinations through vibrations on different areas of the shoe. The user will enter their destination on Google Maps with special application enabled smartphone, which will communicate with the circuit board in the heel of the shoe. By following Google's turn-by-turn directions, the vibrators will...

Space is an issue for any backpacker. Why not create camp shoes that can make the most of limited space, zipping into themselves and reducing their size by half? The shoes will be made of a lightweight ripstop fabric and will be lined with a fleece-lined footbed that will be removed for cleaning. The outsoles will be made of 42 percent recycled rubber, which will provide a non-slip surface for walking around the campsite. The camp shoes can be attached to the outside of a...

I usually use a credit card while purchasing something. The main disadvantage of using credits cards is that it is difficult to monitor spent money. I want to have a wallet which will inform me about all changes with my bank account and will adjust to the sum of money available: * It will vibrate / beep each time a transaction take place; * When there isn't much money in bank account the wallet will resist its opening; * It will swell and shrink to reflect...

Wearing high heels for a long time can be a real trouble... sooner or later your feet start killing you. But you still wear these heels to look good. My idea is to create footwear with regular heels which can be easily unhooked so as to reverse your pair of shoes to cute flats.

I found it both stylish and funny to wear shoes with a picture on a sole. Just imagine... with each your step you leave a piece of art on sand. It is really cool.
