SLICED ► goo.su/v3QLR An all-terrain electric skateboard, a robotic nanny, and a smartphone case that transforms it into a drone. Check out how things we thought were science fiction as kids are actually real now! / @incredible-qq2zi
Some of these inventions remind me of the movie: Wall-E. And the vacuum hair cut thing isn't new. My friend had one of those back in the 80's. It's called a Flowbee.
Honestly, the smart vest that turns into an air-bag could become extremely useful for people with disabilities that have a fall risk, including those with epilepsy. It would also be good for the elderly that don't have good ballance and can fall over and get hurt easily.
My grandmother fell around a week ago. Now she has stitches in her forehead, two black eyes, her right cheek and right side of the chin are completely blue. All because she fell at home.. That invention would be so amazing for our elderly
They're running shoes. Apparently there's some pneumatic piston which shifts a tread block toward your toe and cushions your heel. It's called the "City Glider"
The instant translator is wonderful. The Firefighters and EMTs on my rural Fire Dept could really use that in helping to work with and treat the people who don't speak English. We have Spanish, Korean, Philippine and even Arab language speakers in our area.
T he instant translator is the road to world peace unless it is used for evil purposes. y ou are right to say it could save many lives ..i hope the technology wont be abused.
The most useful gadget here is the ear piece that automatically translates languages in real time. Amazing device. It will help bring the world together as one cooperating species. People can keep their pride in their particular cultural differences such as language as everyone universally communicates for the benefit of all rather than a barrier that keeps people separated. (Question: did the original Star Trek series that fictitiously displayed what they called the "Universal Translator" inspire the inventors of this marvellous invention? William Shatner probably wants to know!)
The glasses ( 13:45 ) that you control by blinking is actually the worst if it's a single blink. Since we as humans blink subconsciously. Something that takes a bit more conscious effort on our part would be the winking, or squinting. I don't know if this is a me thing, or if it's just common, but like telling someone about breathing, blinking has the same effect where I start to become conscious about blinking.
What about blinking stigmas developing.. like when Steve Martin invented the glasses with the handle and everyone started going cross eyed.. in the ‘jerk’ I believe it was lol😂
I've used it for decades, it's the best thing I ever bought. I got a mini shop vac and keep it connected under my sink so I can use it instantly whenever I want. I haven't paid to have my hair cut badly in over 30 years.
The last ones just a Dehumidifier, and most times the water isn't safe to drink. So not only would it need to do it's main job of pulling water from the air, but also clean it.
That gas station robot makes me wonder how it would handle classic cars. I have a 71 Javelin and the gas tank access isn't on either side. It's behind the license plate. And it has to be held down while you put the nozzle in. So it would have to pull down the license plate, hold it while it opens the gas cap, then fill it up. Looked like it might struggle there
The translator ear piece is straight out of the Star Trek (the original) series -- it was called the Universal Translator that would analyze the foreign speech and automatically translate it for you. Great science fiction writing is always inspiring!
even if I dislike the data control, now it could be even better... imagine using all telephone conversations with a developed trained IA to extract common languaje from a nation... you could be having almost real-time popular expresions/slang words in a translator that never would require updates. * I also suspect well developed, with stadistical usage one IA like that could probably even recompose to certain degree dead languajes...
They should have wheel cleaners that construction vehicles have to drive through before they get back on the road. I’ve had plenty of rock chipped windshields to prove that.
Really liked the language translation earphone device. It reminds me of a similar device from The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams, the Babble Fish.
Most never will come to market bc they have very little actual practicality, but some may be more proof of concept that could lead to actual useful stuff. Many of these are junk though
I could see someone walking into the room with the fan that projects pictures and trying to touch it and getting their hand cut. (I know I definitely would)
Science fiction writers and articles in Popular Science painted the future as fun filled leisure time... but they never explained that leisure is not free nor with all the robots doing the heavy lifting that humans would eventually become corpulent, sloth like beings.
@@smgdfcmfah Same, but if this one can actually cut black people's hair - like they said the Flowbee eventually would, but it never happened - then they're at least a step ahead.
the whole vac hair trimmer thing is old news. look up flowbee, i remember seeing an advert for it as a kid in the early 90's (circa 1992) but apparently it's been around since the mid 80's making it older than i am... great idea though, i mean the only reason i remember it down to the name is because even as a kid i thought that it made a ton of sense and probably should be being used everywhere! but alas, haircut umbrellas also exist, are cheaper, quieter, and less cumbersome for the operator, hence why the flowbee never really took off like i thought it would
Can you imagine all the elderly saved from broken hips by the airbag vest? Think about all the people who should be in elder care but cannot due to financing issues. The fear their children have of coming home to find mom or dad fell and died in extreme pain because no one was able to sit with their parent that day. This device could help reduce that fear dramatically. It might even give the elderly patient the confidence they need to go out walk and exercise again thereby beginning the steps to better health
*Wow, the Honda motorcycle at **8:20** looks so modern, and it even has a feature of self-moving with its owner. It's truly a smart bike. I wish I could own a motorcycle like that* 😍
😒Well, you can. Buy a used Yamaha XS-650 and stick a gyroscope up your ass. A motorcycle that could decide to stay upright when you want to lay it ovet in a turn could be a real inconvenience.
I've been cutting my hair with a vacuum for over 25 years. I use a Flowbee hair cutting machine that attaches to my vacuum. I'm on my second one actually because while the first still works it really is falling apart.
17:20 “becomes your loyal companion during soccer games” - yeah, because what you need is some expensive, mindless thing after your soccer ball while you try not to trip over it or accidentally destroy it
It's all fun and games until the wearable device short circuits and either electrocutes you or starts a fire and burns you up. Most of these devices look like a huge safety hazard and like they will constantly malfunction.
Better question, why would I want to increase the price of fuel to offset the price of installing and maintaining something that just makes it so I don't have to do the incredibly simple act of pumping my own gas? Tho to answer your question, it's probably the same reason there are several hoses at a pump and not one. Different fuel types that you don't want cross contaminating.
Ah yes just imagine you are watching a movie and someone presses the button to rearrange the sits and then you die, painfully squashed by the mechanisms
Im all for technology to actually help people who need it. However, i just can't get my head around unnecessary complication of simple tasks. I will end with this, just because we can create most of this stuff, doesn't mean we should.
It's actually worse than that. When this tech hits the marketplace before it is even capable of performing tasks at sub mediocre levels (some of it, I'm thinking anthropomorphized robots here, so far. They have been tried at many tasks, like working in grocery stores, and failed miserably. Who wants to talk to a walking pile of silicon, anyway, especially since manufacturers insist on all the flowery pleases, thank yous, etc. that just irk me no end? And the facial expressions, so far, make me want to punch them in their phony plastic faces, they are world class creepy and off putting, practically the stuff of nightmares. And worse, there are brain dead govts on the planet giving them CITIZENSHIP and RIGHTS! The inmates are truly running the asylum. The day I worry about some walking toaster's 'rights' will be the day I believe them to be sentient, and they haven't climbed to the first rung of a ladder stretching to the moon in that respect, yet. Chat GPT is like talking to a vapid, uninteresting (except maybe for the curiosity, once) pile of code. It's responses are completely predictable, and trite and it offers no insight or leaps of logic whatsoever. I haven't yet been convinced that it is doing anything more than glomming onto a couple of key words and the sentence structure, and scanning the internet for something 'appropriate' to 'say'. Auto drivers/diagnostics/and some other areas it performs very well at As for intelligence, give me a break. One day, maybe, but not anytime soon, unless there is some radical breakthrough in architecture/protocols, etc. made.
they tell us that despite all this technology we must live in a pod, eat bugs and have no car because of climate change. why can't we all live in small rural communities, that will be environmentally friendly, and use technology to maximize crops? because they want us locked up like rats in 15 minute cities.
I only stopped by long enough to see the bridge. That bridge is so slow, and the canal so short, that in the video you can see a woman walking around the water rather than waiting for the bridge. She arrives at the other side faster than it takes the bridge to extend... by just "walking". It was upon this revelation... that I stopped watching. I checked here, and yeah, it seems that the rest of the video was more of the same. 18m of my life saved.
The Machine at 6:20 "building the house" stacked all those Bricks very quickly & neatly, however, they forgot about the Mortar that holds the bricks TOGETHER! Likely, an actual Human needs to apply the Mortar.🤖
Great video! At 14:25 there is a device shown that looked interesting but had no accompanying description. Could you provide a reference or description, anything?
I agree. Instead of explaining what that shoe device does and what its purpose was, they decided to waste our time faking us out with a lame prank. Good job boners! 🤣
Thank you for making these videos! Love watching them. One thing, can you put in the names either verbally or written who the designers are? Some of them I would love to keep an eye on. Otherwise your content is informative and instructive and the amount of time between each segment is well thought out. Not too long so I get bored and not too short that don't understand what is being presented.
The rolling bridge is in Paddington Merchant Square where I work, it’s a novelty at first but pointless it’s right at the end of the canal so no boats actually ever go through it and when they roll it up I have to wait for ever before I can cross to get to the bloody shops to buy lunch.
i was actually wondering that too, i was like " why not just build a bridge that stays there?" and then i was like "oh must be maybe so a boat can get through, but then i watched it again and noticed it was really really small
I kind of remember seeing a Mad magazine cartoon feature about "the future of parking" it had the robot parking lot, with robot retrieval. (Mad magazine was a satirical comic funny magazine from the 1970s and 80s) The "smart chair" put me in mind of the animated movie, "Wall-E." People ended up enormous because they no longer had to use their muscles themselves.
Don't believe everything you see on tv, obesity cannot occur on a healthy diet, it would be impossible because the food contains too many nutrients and fiber
Something to keep in mind with automation is how much consumer reporting it will be made use of. Are you comfortable with someone else selling the minutia your car data to a "trusted partner" which is essentially anyone?
A drone is a remote controlled flying device. If you add a pilot, it's not a drone. Love the translator and hope they will be offered in airports and hotel gift stores. Might make a good rental. My son is a carpenter and the exoskeleton would be really nice. Being able to see through your car's forward support post!!!!
_Love the translator and hope they will be offered in airports and hotel gift stores._ 9:39 Funny you should say that because that clip is actually from an old and long debunked Kickstarter campaign for *The Pilot Translator.* Here's its hilarious de-bunk: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qwYCQEpwJ5o.html
I saw a shark tank thing I think it was on the blind spot eliminator for seeing through the front posts of your car. Some high school girl invented it by simply using cameras and projecting the image onto the post. very clever
That charging robot seems to be an expensive replacement for power cable. They'd be better off designing a system that allows you to put more chargers on a cable then it can handle but only allowing 1 or 2 run at once.
literally you only need a wheeled platform with a socked in the middle that rotates revealing a power cable behind its trail.... and once is done returns to the place getting the cable around the perimeter of it...
All of these are really cool gadgets, but I would like a name as to what they are called. Like, what is the name of this translating earbud? I guess I would look it up like that.
As humans from birth we learn to think, walk, talk, read and write, we see and hear, we are forever learning and discovering new things all the time so why are people so desperate to create human like robots? We are greater than any robot except we don't all have brains that work like computers but we do also have the ability to create new life and bring them into the world. We are the ones engineer's, scientists etc..that designed and built everything we use and sèe today. We are amazing!
Yeah that airbag would be fun to wear in 95 degree weather lol. Drone yeah VERY small fires so not likely viable if a drone is actually needed. The cool breeze gadget woudl likely cause long term health concerns sending that cold air to the back/spine. The car lot idea is very cool but I imagine like every gimmick the cost would be insane.
I know that this is a bit of an old comment but I have got to offer a counter point: sure one such drone alone wont do much but what about 100? Sure the cost would be nuts right now, but, what about a few years from now?
80% of the inventions shown here are either total kickstarter BS or 1st world solvers for minor inconvenient problems. But then there are 20% that actually fulfill a reasonable purpose. However, with the hype applied to any and all of those presentations the few good ones are tarred by association with the large number if crappy ones.
The parking buildings we need more of them , you can’t go to these big cities without seeing signs saying you can’t park here you can’t park there or between 6am to 6pm and on and on and on, I’m SICK OF ALL THAT SH*t !!!!!!!!!!
That last "genius invention" - watergen - those devices have been available on cars since 1940. First office use was about 1848. The device is more commonly known as an 'air conditioner', and as 'dehumidifiers'. Look under your car on a hot day while running the ac - see that water dripping underneath? That is water that has been condensed out of the air and is as "pure" as any rainwater (except for the fact that it may have dripped down through oil and road dirt). So,right now, if you put a tank under the drip tube in your car you can pump it up into a spigot on your dash!. Or, under the drip pan in your home ac and collect potable water instead of it running down a pipe and into the sewer or out of drip line in the eaves or soffit of your home/apt.
Ear cleaning one is the one I am interested in. People go to their GP to get them done constantly and even then not done correctly. If these things can do it better than them, that'd save a ton of time and help a lot of people. Especially if affordable for in home use. Or at least by caregivers.
