Hypervsn Wall

Holograms are nothing new, but wait until you see the Hypervsn Wall made by a company called Kino-mo. This wall consists of multiple RGB fans, with each of the arms on the fan module boasting programmable micro LEDs. How does it all work? The units processor sends signals to each of those LEDs to tell them where it needs to turn on and start spinning. Your eyes perceive this light as a hologram, and when multiple units are hooked up together, the holographic images can measure up to 3 meters in size.

Sony 4K Projector

There’s pico projectors, and then Sony’s 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector (LSPX-A1). At $30K, this high-end device features six speakers that simulate 360° atmospheric sound, two glass feet that double as tweeters, thanks to built-in actuators, and last, but not least, a subwoofer concealed underneath. The projector is capable of projecting a 120″ 4K image from a mere 9.6-inches away from a wall. “With the engineered marble top, half mirror finished aluminum frame, and wooden shelf, the LSPX-A1 enriches your living environment while complementing its décor. The premium furniture-like design blends into your living space and appears as an attractive piece of furniture rather than a component-heavy entertainment system,” according to Sony.

Digital Storm Spark Gaming PC
The Digital Storm Spark is now the world’s smallest hardline liquid-cooled gaming PC, measuring just 6 x 4 x 12-inches. It comes equipped with an Intel Core i7-8700K running at a baseline of 3.7GHz (can be overclocked to 4GHz or more), an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card (MXM module enables users to upgrade it to a GTX 1080), three M.2 SSD slots, a SATA 6Gb/s port, and up to 32GB of 3000MHz DDR4 RAM.

Genovation GXE Electric Corvette

Priced at $750,000 USD and limited to just 75-units worldwide, the Genovation GXE, based on the Corvette C7 platform, is most certainly one of the most interesting electric vehicles yet. Sporting an all-electric powertrain that generates over 800hp and 700lbs-ft of torque, it can go from 0-60mph in under 3-seconds, while topping out at 220mph, making it the fastest electric vehicle on the market once it hits showrooms in Q4 2018.

Sure, there’s the NVIDIA Big Format Gaming Display, but for those who don’t want to shell out over $4K, there’s the option of picking up the ASUS Bezel-Free Kit. These strips basically transform three individual monitors into one seamless curved gaming display. To be more specific, this accessory enables gamers with multiple-monitor setups to visually eliminate the gaps where their displays connect, creating the appearance of one extra-large, wraparound monitor for a totally immersive gaming experience. The kit consists of vertical lenses and easy-to-attach mounts that connect the edge of each monitor at a 130° angle — the angle determined through extensive testing to provide the best viewing experience. An optical device that requires no software or power to operate, Bezel-free Kit uses light refraction to make the monitor edges disappear to the viewer. It provides an innovative, simple and effective method of increasing field of view and dramatically enhancing gameplay. Click here for the first image in today’s viral picture gallery.

Keecker Robot

Unlike other home automation robots, Keecker comes equipped with a 90° adjustable video projector, a powerful 4.1 audio system and two cameras.

The built-in projector can transform any surface into a screen - watch movies, play video games, etc. (from wall to ceiling). It can also send you real-time home updates about humidity levels, ambient light, and room temperature from integrated gyroscope, compass, accelerometer, and infrared sensors.

Foldimate

Another day, another laundry folding robot, and this one is called “Foldimate”. This automated laundry folding machine is still in prototype form, but it can fold everything from garments for children to big and tall adults, as well as the usual towels / pillow cases. However, it won’t be able to fold smaller pieces, such as baby clothes, socks, underwear, etc. or extra large items such as bed sheets. The company says its device should be available sometime in 2019 for roughly $980. Continue reading to see it in-action and for more information.
