There's always a bottomless well of people inventing and there's been a good batch of exciting new inventions in 2023. It's just human nature to look out for fresh ways to improve our lives. People thirst to either make manual processes more convenient or have a machine or system take care of them.
2023 is no different, with many new jaw-dropping prototypes and inventions that have been introduced to enhance the world around us. Some of these creations are so breathtaking they make yesterday's science fiction look like today's reality. Some inventors and developers are also making us give a double take by reinventing items we didn't think could be developed further.
Expanding virtual reality more and helping bring us one step closer to the metaverse comes this fantastic invention! Besides making some of us quite dizzy, the problem we have with VR these days is that we're missing a key sense to make it a reality. That's where OVR technology comes into play: a wearable and wireless set that helps provide what are known as 'digital scents'.
The device is called the ION3 and comes with a cartridge that is ready to produce thousands of these scents. It's accessible via an app and digital library, enabling users to create unique scents.
Yet, if digital smells aren't your cup of tea, take a look at how the home entertainment system is being completely revamped below...
Guess what? Your TV just got better, and you didn’t even think it was possible. Yet when you hear how they improved it, it actually makes sense. They've made it so you can start forgetting and eliminating cables. These TVs connect to wireless 6E connections that connect the devices to whatever programming you want. This makes them stay quite thin and, more importantly, light. It's powered by batteries, which currently last a month without needing to be replaced.
Due to the weight being almost like a feather, they will actually stick to a surface, eliminating the need for any wall mounts and allowing you to even bung it on a window with vacuum suction! If that wasn't enough, there's no remote but a camera instead that pops out and works with motion control. What a simple but genius way of bringing us a new generation of TVs.
Next, let's look at how we'll completely transform our eating habits in front of these new TVs!
As 3D printing gets more advanced, it's transferred over to food supplements, meaning even one day, we can make it ourselves! A partnership between Neutrogena and Nourished has resulted in the brainchild that is Skinstacks. These skin-nutrient gummies incorporate 7 layers of ingredients which are backed by science to give your skin the vitality boost it needs. The companies are now looking to pair this with existing wearable and tracking technology.
Eventually, they're looking to build out full-on nutritional meals similar to what we saw in films like "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". Just think of that: one munch, and you've had your five-a-day!
However, as cool as this is, it doesn't compare to finally understanding what babies are saying does it?!!? Let's find out more..
Of course, we're going to talk about AI here! And this time, it's in the best way possible, translating what we thought was untranslatable! The idea behind this is to combine AI with deep learning to start translating what baby cries actually mean. Because AI these days can take multiple inputs in different mediums, it makes sense to try to take the audio of a baby and work to decode it into English.
It will also incorporate the baby's physical state, emotions, and cries, so wonder no more whether they are hungry or need a diaper change! Such a priceless development in technology, and there are actually other companies as well that are diving into this. One can only hope that it won't take too long until we can translate this for animals such as our dogs.
If this doesn't float your boat, what about a pen that captures everything you write on paper and lets you instantly transmit it anywhere you want to online? Find out more below..
The pen is already a perfect tool, right? Mightier than the sword, even. Guess what? It just got even stronger and looks as if it's finally moved over to the digital space properly. It wasn't smooth, tho, because the transition from physical to digital pen has been slow at best. Too many different gadgets were required that seemed like luxurious accessories than necessary daily items. Also, we often forgot to bring the tablets and the pens when we needed them most.
This smart pen lets you write normally, as you would a regular pen. You can write on any type of paper as well. The crux is that it takes what you write and, immediately digitizes it for you and lets you do what you want with it instantly online! At the same time, you'll still see ink on paper as you would normally do. Again – this is yet another simple invention that is pure genius and can easily be integrated into our daily lives.
Another genius invention, but what about clothing that helps you FEEL like you're in a video game environment as well as see it? Read on to find out more!
One step closer to the metaverse and two steps away from the Holodeck from Star Trek, we have these haptic response shirts. Get those Ready Player One vibes back, as you'll want to grab one as soon as they are available. They are meant to convey and produce nearly an infinite amount of sensations physically.
You can also calibrate it to your needs, giving everyone a unique experience every time. These will not only be meant for gaming early on but can also be applied to training and development or even provide a whole new level of immersion when enjoying your favourite type of entertainment!
Not impressing you much? What about a device which is strapped to you and lets you lift heavy objects without you feeling the weight? Read on..
This isn’t about waging war in mechanized suits of armor like the title suggest tho...It's meant to handle the heavy lifting felt on the job, which can also help reduce the pain associated with such a role and help reduce overall injury.
That means also opening up such positions to those who weren't always ready to handle physically demanding jobs well, to begin with. It will help us work longer and harder without it resulting in too much degradation on our bodies. How priceless is this!
These inventions are already transforming our lives for the better and helping enhance our physical worlds more. We left the flying and automatic car concepts from this list because they still have some teething problems. It's all about what's feasible versus what can eventually be possible down the line, and these picks are ready to go in 2023.
It's also inspiring to see how established technologies still have room to grow and become much better today. What's next on the horizon for 2024!? We at Inventwell can't wait to find out!
