The idea is to create a device which will be useful for people with visual disabilities. This device will be capable to scan ordinary text and convert it into Braille on the surface of this mouse-like device. If the idea realized it would be much easier for people with visual disabilities to read most of what sighted people can.

The idea is to create a palm sized hearing device that will include an array of noise management systems but will look like a common mp3 player. The device will be easy to use, featuring an LCD screen and headphones with integrated microphones. It will include noise reduction and will be able to control feedback and wind noise. The device will also include a special function that will adjust to the changing environments of standard, music, indoors, and party.

The new computer monitor will keep a 'eye' on the user, providing feedback to encourage better ergonomics. The monitor will keep track of the user's posture and distance from the monitor, as well how long it has been since the user's last break, and will send alerts through small icons at the bottom of the screen. It will also turn off the monitor if it senses the user is not present, cutting energy consumption by up to 80%.

There are many sites in the internet that help tourists to plan their trips, find companions to travel by car, share apartments, etc. But there is still no travel guide that offers users to find like-minded people to travel on their own created route. Globetrooper startup is a resource that helps adventurers to create the holiday of their dreams and find a team of associates. The world is much more varied than we think. To travel in comfort on a plane and enjoy the standard...

My idea is to create sportswear with built in flexible electronics to monitor an athlete's biological indicators, like pH levels in sweat, heart rate, or blood pressure, generating data on metabolism or other factors and beaming it wirelessly to a trainer's laptop. The electronics could also simply count the steps to measure the distance traveled or the number of reps completed. Having such a sportswear will remove the need for some clunky external device to record or transmit...

A new concept vending machine will use face recognition to analyze passing people and attract them with targeted advertising. The vending machine will feature a 65-inch, HD, see-through display. The machine will use Audience Impression Metric (AIM) to recognize the demographic of people as they stand in front of screen, using the AIM information to determine the most attractive advertising content. When no customers are nearby, the vending machine will display a large clock...

It will be really great to have a robot which will be able not only detect motion through walls but also detect the breathing of a stationary person? Its primary goal will be to provide improved situational awareness to soldiers while keeping them out of danger. The robot could also be used in the civilian sector, allowing police and firefighters to locate people within buildings. The robot will travel on caterpillar tracks while the mounted RF scanner will transmit wideband...

The new smartphone application will be able to customize a mobile device's output to suit the specific hearing needs of the user. Since no one has the same kind of hearing loss, the application will run a simple test to identify the user's particular type of hearing loss across a range of frequencies. The software will then alter the output of the device by turning up the volume on the frequencies the user will mark as difficult to hear.

My idea is to create a sleeping mask which not only blocks out the light but also wakes the wearer with a programmable sunrise. Sounds really cool :) An LED substrate sewn into the inside of the mask will make the magic happen. It will begin its glow about a half hour before the user chosen waking time.

Why not develop a new lithium-ion battery able to store more energy than its predecessors without overheating? The battery will use a graphite current collector and imide salt in the electrolyte of the battery, which will increase the life of the battery as well as allowing it to withstand high temperatures. The battery will have an energy density of 225 watt hours per kilogram; 50 percent higher than the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.
