"Gadgets That Will Change Your World"These gadgets will change your world for sure. 

Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System:

Restoring sight to the blind is the the stuff of miracles and sci-fi movies. Until now. Develop by Second Sight, the Argus II is a device that works to restore vision to those suffering from complete or partial blindness. It does this by capturing images via a mini video camera in the glasses which is then transformed into instructions that are picked up by an implant placed on the wearer's eye. Once received, the implant sends the instructions to an electrode array which then sends the visual information to the brain via the optic nerve.

Tooth Sensor:

No one likes going to the dentist, even if it's just for check-up. Scientists at Princeton and Tufts have been working a thin tooth sensor that may limit the amount of times you need to get your teeth checked. The sensor would alert you (and/or your dentist) when it detects any bacteria that could cause cavities, plaque buildup, or any other infections.

Philips ErgoSensor Monitor:

We're sure you've read the studies and stories that say sitting down staring at a computer for prolonged periods of times can cause serious damage to your back and eyes. to help make sure you don't fall victim to bad posture, Philips has developed the ErgoSensor monitor that follows your eye position and suggest to you a better, more ergonomically correct way to sit. It will also tell you when you should take a break and go stretch your legs. Think of it as a little office mate.

Myo:

Dubbed "The Next Generation of Gesture Control," the Myo is an armband full of motion and muscle sensors that is able to pickup on the "electrical activity in your muscles to wirelessly control" your electronics via Bluetooth. According to the company, the device will work with Windows and Mac OS, with iOS and Android support coming soon. We're not futurists, but if we were to guess at how we will control our home in the future, it looks very similar to this.

Chaotic Moon Helmut:

If you ride a bike in a major city like NYC, you know how dangerous your commute to and from work can be. The Chaotic Moon helmet won't keep you any safer than a regular helmet, but it will come in handy if you're hit by a car than then speeds off. The helmet is equipped with seven mini-cameras that record video at 30 frames per second at 720p. The effect is a 360-degree view of your surroundings as you ride and can capture your accident as it happens.

TrakDot:

We know: Having an airline lose your luggage is not the worst thing in the world, but it still sucks. GlobalTrac aggress. The company this year released its TrakDot luggage tracker, which allows you to use your phone or tablet or computer to see exactly where your bags are. All you do is slip the device into your luggage, and then fire up the app. Now if it could only figure out how to get your lost luggage back to you, that'd be great.

Wing Roller Coasters:

Welcome to the future of fun. Developed by Bollinger & Mabillard, Wing Coasters are a type of roller coaster that places the ride on the sides of the track, giving them the illusion that they're riding on the wing of a plane. There's nothing below or above them. There are currently four in the world (three in the U.S.), with a fifth one planned to open in China later this year.

Google Glass:

Wearable technology is coming whether you like it not. We saw how people went into a fever pitch over the Pebble smart watch and the rumor of Apple building an iWatch. People have tried to make smart glasses before with very little luck. Google's seem like the first that may actually work. Not only that, people who have used them said that, despite feeling like everyone's staring at you, that the experience was pretty good. Being able to get real-time info about everything you're looking at may seem like information overload, we suspect people will get over that in the future.
