This watch is a useful device which will detect your phone from up to 10 meters away. It is a bluetooth device that displays the caller ID and vibrates as your phone is ringing or when you receive an SMS. You can also accept or reject calls with it and has many other features too. It is a very handy piece of technology for if you leave your phone in another room or out of site.

‘Tele Scouter’ retinal-display translation glasses

This is a pretty nifty idea. The prototype device called a “Tele Scouter” translates the foreign language being spoken by a partner and projects the translation onto a tiny retinal display. When projected to the retina, the message appears as if it was displayed from 1 meter away.

LED Tattoos

I found this to be a really fascinating piece of technology. It is an LED tattoo, which is made of a thin film of silk on which silicon transistors about one millimeter long and 250 nanometers thick are placed. The silk holds the electronics in place and conforms to the biological tissue when implanted inside the body and wetted with saline. The silk substrates are then completely broken down by the body into harmless by-products. Because they are just nanometers thick, the thin silicon circuits left behind don’t cause irritation.
Illuminated tattoos! That sounds really cool!

Japanese Wrist Phone

Japanese phone maker KDDI has a new phone which is rather interesting. It basically monitors your movements and can tell when you're slacking off. The phone is worn on your wrist and uses an accelerometer to check your movements and compares them to the information stored on a server, which can then identify what you are doing.
