Luminae Glass Keyboard

When the Luminae glass keyboard project concluded its campaign on Kickstarter in early 2012, it was pretty much just a glimmer in its creator's eye, more an idea than a product. That didn't stop it from nearly tripling its funding goal. Move ahead to CES 2013 and the Luminae from TransluSense is very much a real thing, and it's a thing of beauty.

Flexible Display Possible With OLED Technology

OLED is a new display technology. Using light-emitting organic materials, beautiful and efficient displays can be created. OLEDs are very thin, and in fact can be put on flexible materials (plastic or metal foil). So it's possible to make bendable, flexible displays. Because these displays will not be covered with glass, they'll also be more durable - and virtually shatter-proof.

Ultra High Defination TV

4k is the new big thing in display tech, and it's coming to a big screen living room TV near you.
Today's 1920 x 1080 resolution Full HD TVs present us with an image of around 2 megapixels, but this new generation of screens delivers an 8 megapixel image from hi-res cameras.

Bluetooth O.R.B:Revolutionary Change To Bluetooth Device

With a simple twist, The O.R.B. transforms from a ring to a headset worn on the ear that is capable of hands-free calling. Incorporating HiWave™ technology, the O.R.B. is a “Digitset™” that provides high-quality bone conduction audio without the discomfort of placing a device inside the ear. A deluxe edition also features an E Ink display for caller ID, text messaging, and calendar reminders.

Motorola Moto X

The Moto X is new species of Motorola phone for a couple of reasons: first, it has been designed under a new management since Motorola Mobility was acquired by Google for $12B. Secondly, it is a phone that has received an intense design focus on the user experience, which is very different from the typical (and proven) strategy of going for high-end “specs” and new (or more) software features.

Transparent Display Technology

Many smartphones look the same from afar. I bet most of you own one that's thin, rectangular, and features a big screen. Boooring!
A fully transparent conceptual smartphone, developed by Taiwanese company Polytron Technologies, gives me hope for a future full of fancy smartphones far different from the common designs seen today.
