Sure, you might look like
you’re just wearing cool
shades—but behind those
frames you’re actually
watching a blockbuster
movie on two tiny screens!
When you put on the TCL
Wearable Display and connect
it to your smartphone or
tablet, it’ll feel like you’re
looking at an almost 12-foot
screen from about 13 feet
away. It’s like a private
screening room, right in
front of your face.

Family game night sounds
fun ... until you discover
that you’re missing game
tokens or directions. Never
again with the Infinity Game
Table, a touch-screen table
surface. Just turn on the
device and choose from 32
board games, like Mono-
poly and Connect 4. Up to
six people can play at the
same time. Game on!

You’ll be riding around town like a space-age Roman emperor
in this invention. The S-Pod is an egg-shaped transport
device that balances on two wheels while you sit in the
open capsule. Inspired by the sphere-shaped vehicles in
Jurassic World, the S-Pod moves up to 24 miles an hour.
Inventors hope the device will help people take short trips
without a car, sort of like a luxury scooter. Sounds egg-cellent.

Turn your kitchen into an ice-cream parlor with ColdSnap, a
device that takes room-temperature cans of ice-cream mix
and turns them into frozen treats in just over a minute.
Choose an aluminum pod with your
favorite flavor, pop it into the
machine, then recycle the can.
Regular grocery store ice cream
requires energy to keep it cold while
it’s transported to the stores and sits
in freezers. So ColdSnap estimates
they can reduce the carbon dioxide
emissions of each pint of ice cream
between 25 and 50 percent by leav-
ing the big freeze up to you. Now
that’s cool.
