Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 of Time magazine’s 25 “ Best Inventions of the Year” to share with you . Let’s have a look.
Talk Gloves
Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the “helping hand” you need , Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors(感应器) that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words.
Google Glasses
In short, Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make phone calls without even lifting a finger. All you have to do is tilt(倾斜)your head to move the mouse on the screen. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system ,Users can take and share photos, video-chat, check maps and surf the Internet.
Indoor Clouds
It’s not Photoshop . That’s a real world, Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine, But it required careful planning-the temperature, humidity(湿度) and lighting all had to be just right. Once everything was ready , Smilde “sucked”(抽取) the cloud out of the air with the machine, But it only lasted for a short while.
Wingsuits
The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird, Well, not exactly flying, but gliding(滑翔)through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air ,Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds, almost as fast as swifes. But they need a parachute to make a safe landing because the suit does not allow you to slow down.
