Besides
having all the features expected from a traditional refrigerator, this version
comes with a touchscreen and a wide selection of applications. These apps
include popular note taking options such as Evernote, allowing grocery lists to
be made while looking inside your fridge. These can then be quickly and
seamlessly shared across multiple devices. The touchscreen also allows for the
display of recipes.

Health & Fitness
With
smartphones you're already carrying a PC in your pocket. Now check out these
computers you can wear.
Fitbit
Aria
When it comes
to health, one of the most important metrics is body weight, and the Fitbit
Aria is the smart way to measure it. Using a set of ITO electrodes to measure
your body’s impedance, this device not only gives your weight but can also
measure your body’s lean versus fat composition. Furthermore, it can hook up to
your wireless network and push the information to your Fitbit account.
Google
Contact Lens
The Google X
lab recently announced a smart contact lens with tens of thousands of
miniaturized transistors. Apparently, these contact lenses will be able to
measure a user’s glucose levels by testing their tears. The lens will also be
fitted with a hair-thin antenna which will allow the information to be
transmitted to a handheld device, warning diabetic users when their glucose
levels go too high.
Wearable
devices are already making technology much more intimate than
once seemed possible, but Google has kicked it up to a whole new level.
Sony
Fitness Core
Sony’s Core
fitness tracker will be able to measure and record the usual fitness metrics such
as steps taken, distance covered and calories burned throughout the day. But
what gives the Core an edge over its competition is the accompanying Lifelog
application, which will display other info such as weather, mapped routes and
even photographs in a journal.
Sony's
SmartBand, the first product powered by the company's new Core fitness tracker,
will be released worldwide in March.
Rooms & Living Spaces
Even the
furniture in your house will one day come with a processor and built-in Wi-Fi.
Nest
Learning Thermostat
The Nest
Learning Thermostat shows how even the most unglamorous and unassuming of tech
appliances in the home can make a huge, positive impact after being smartened
up. At installation, the Nest Learning Thermostat functions like any other. But
as users keep manually adjusting the temperature settings, the Nest Learning
Thermostat picks up on the patterns of usage and eventually will be able to
regulate the temperature for you on its own.
Most
people leave the house at one temperature and forget to change it. So the Nest
Learning Thermostat learns your schedule, programs itself and can be controlled
from your phone.
Sleep
Number X12 Mattress
The Sleep
Number X12 Mattress includes air chambers that can be modified to adjust the
firmness of the mattress according to the user’s preferences. It also features a
number of sensors that can measure a user’s breathing rate, movement and
average heart rate as they sleep. This data is used to calculate your sleep
patterns and the mattress is able to provide you with suggestions on how to
improve your sleep.
