CRAZY TECH: THREE INNOVATIONS THAT SHOW TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED LEAPS AND BOUNDS

Technology has been an integral part of our daily lives and we can’t deny that. In fact, our daily lives are so intertwined with technology that even for the simplest of the tasks we rely on the brilliance of modern day technology. The best example for usage of technology are our smartphones, we cannot simply stay away from our smartphones even for a minute. However, usage of tech is not limited to smartphones, in fact, some of these innovations will make you feel as though we are already living in the 3000’s. So, here is the list of some crazy innovations in technology that astonishes human brains……..

1) Translator earbuds

We all must have faced problems with language when visiting new places with foreign accent(not English). It can be really frustrating when language barrier acts as a major hurdle from exploring new places, to solve this problem Google came up with an innovative invention that removes language barriers wherever you go. Google’s pixel buds pair up with the pixel smartphone and uses Google Translate to translate languages in real time, thus preventing any sort of linguistic confusion when visiting a new place with a foreign language(again, not English).

2) HUSHME.

We all expect some privacy when we’re having some top secret conversations with our close ones or our best friends and the need for privacy increased a lot with people trying to throw their ears in a conversation that are completely unrelated to them. In order to solve this problem, Hushme was introduced into the market. This crazy Bluetooth headset device actually muffles your voice when having a conversation on your communication device when you’re at a public space or an open office space. So, next time you have an important or a secret convo using this headset, people will probably hear you breathing fire like Darth Vader or Smaug. This invention seems more like a fun device than the one used for a top secret mission.

3) VIRTUAL REALITY(VR)

Virtual reality(VR) has been a dream and a seemingly unexplored concept until VR Oculus was introduced. What does VR do? In simpler words, VR is a simulation that you can experience quite similar to what you do in the real world or sometimes even better than what you experience in real world. VR can be used for educational purposes, virtual military drills, medical simulation and most importantly in the booming gaming industry. Other types of VR includes the Augmented Reality(AR) and Mixed Reality which is commonly known as XR(eXtended Reality). The current standard setup for VR environment includes a VR headset or a multi-projected environment to make the experience more realistic including the sounds, image capturing and etc.

The above innovations are just a few examples of how far we have come in terms of handling the technology, looking ahead , it will be truly remarkable to see what a human mind is capable of imagining and turning it into reality…….
