8 Seconds Glasses
Working in front of a computer dangerously strains the eyes. The 8 Seconds Glasses reestablish a natural working rhythm to your eyes. The specially-designed adjustable demagnification lenses make the eyes look into the distance, therefore, helping to relieve the tension caused by viewing a monitor at very close range. The specially-molded form of the glasses flawlessly matches with the eyes’ field of view. The lamps at the edges enable the eyes to quickly and actively move at the sides, allowing them to rest naturally after intense, slow reading of small font on a computer monitor. While other products provide only external eye massage, the 8 Seconds Glasses focus on internal eye muscles solving these issues at their source. 8 Seconds Glasses include a unique smartphone-based visual acuity test. Although this cannot replace medical testing, it is useful for estimating your visual well-being. 8 Seconds Glasses are not a medical device and can not substitute for professional medical help in case of illness. However, 8 Seconds Glasses implement well known, proven eye relaxing exercises.

Podo – The First Stick and Shoot Camera: The Sequel
Podo is a miniature, app-controlled camera that sticks and unsticks anywhere for the perfect hands-free shot. It’s the easiest, simplest way to free your camera from the reach of your arm. You can stick Podo onto a nearby surface and shoot awesome photos, videos, or time lapse videos thereafter in a hands-free way. Podo uses wireless Bluetooth technology to connect with your phone. The Podo app lets you see what Podo sees, in live video, right on your screen. In addition to photos, you can use the time lapse mode for anything from memorable events to sunsets. Set any interval and Podo will capture everything for you on its own. Or, use a Podo (or several) for 720p HD video. With the app, adjust camera settings, set a countdown timer, and trigger the shot. It gives you full control, and you no longer need to hold the camera yourself. Podo is $49 on Kickstarter for a limited time only.

Google Project Ara would let you snap components onto your phone like Legos.
Imagine being able to snap on components to your phone as easily as playing with Lego toys. That's the promise of Google's Project Ara, which aims to let you customize your device by adding pieces like a better camera, extra memory, and even special sensors to do things like test if drinking water is clean. Making this a reality is not so simple. Google had initially promised a limited "market pilot" of the technology in 2015, but has since pushed the date back to sometime in 2016.
Table or a Tablet
Forget the iPad Pro! Meet the CROSS2DESIGN Smart Table! Just as it sounds, this interesting marriage of two unlike objects is a hybrid table and tablet in one.
Of course, the design can be used as a surface for working… but it can also be used to watch entertainment, surf the web, organize ideas, collaboration, educate kids, or even for gaming! Touch-sensitive, it’s easy to access programs and organize the interactive desktop. Inspired by robotic legs, it also transitions between horizontal and vertical with the touch of a button for presentations, movies and more!

iPhone 8 Concept
Apple has always been a benchmark in making the smartest phones and immunizing them with lots of features and quality material. The next sensation in the market is said to be the Apple iPhone 8.. Anyway, there are some patents related to the device that have been used by Techconfigurations as inspiration to create the concept. Design of this marvelous smartphone below.
iPhone 8 that feels like a cylinder, because it has a curved front and curved back, on the edges of course. There’s a dual camera at the back, but now with the typical integration you’ve seen in all those many renders. It feels more like HTC One M8 rather than Huawei Honor 6 Plus and is intriguing the flash placement.
The facade and particularly the bottom feel a bit inspired by the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, while the back is rather original, since the curves are more gentle than the ones of the Galaxy Note 5 for example. Looks nice, but probably won’t happen.

Diagnostic kitchen of the future
The Diagnostic Kitchen enables people to take a much more accurate and personally relevant look at what they eat. The system is comprised of a tabletop, scanning wand, and swallowable sensor. The wand is an interactive device that gives you real time data about what’s going on inside your body, everything from salt to water ratio, hydration, fats, proteins, etc… By docking the wand and placing a food item you might eat on the tabletop, the wand updates to show how this item will affect your body.
The end goal is finding equilibrium. As you continue to use the system, you’ll gain an understanding of how food really affects you. As you find balance, the wand keeps a visual record of your progress and displays it across the surface. This is a provocative and unconventional look at food but one that can have a profound effect on how we eat. Imagine what that wand would look like if you placed a Big Mac with fries and a coke on the tabletop. The damn thing would probably explode. Designers: Philips Design
