Oculus Rift is designed to take gaming to a new level. It is a Head Mounted Virtual Reality Display being developed by Oculus VR, though its development started in 2012, but some major innovations were made in 2013. The consumer version of this gadget is coming in late 2014, while the developer editions become available from time to time with latest improvement. Let's put it simple, this head mounted display is intended for immersive 3D gaming experience for gamers. The consumer version is reported to have a 1920×1080 7 inch 3D display, visible via 2 lenses, inside the gadget, for both eyes.

3Doodler is a 3D Printing pen, which lets you draw 3 Dimensional sculptures. It is the world's first 3D printing pen made by Peter Dilworth and Maxwell Bogue of WobbleWorks LLC. It uses acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or Poly Lactic Acid as plastic for drawing. The pen actually melts the plastic which lets you draw the sculptures, the melted plastic cools down soon, and you get your 3 Dimensional picture. The plastic is also available in different colors

5. Volvo Solar Pavilion

Electric Cars run on battery, and the very limited range on a battery can be a drawback, as not everywhere in the world, one can charge their car, using electricity. Well, Volvo has a solution, with its Solar Pavilion, which is a flexible pavilion with solar cells on it, which can charge an electric car using sunlight, and then it can fold up to make its space in the car's boot too. It's been designed by Los Angeles-based Synthesis Design + Architecture and is a first revolutionary step in overcoming the problem of limited range of electric vehicles.

6. Atlas Robot

The Atlas Robot is a Humanoid Robot made by Boston Dynamics. It consists of 4 limbs, and 2 vision systems, one is a laser ranger finder, while other includes stereo cameras. It's made from aluminum and titanium, which is of the same quality as used in manufacture of aircrafts; it stands 6 feet tall and weighs 150 Kg. Its primary purpose is search and rescue, in environments where humans can't operate.

7. The Gravity Light

Gravity Light is a device which generates light, using earth's gravity, made by Deciwatt. According to the manufacturer, it is an alternate to health hazardous kerosene lamps for the people of 3rd world countries, who don't have access to electricity. The working of gravity lamps is, that some weight is attached to the lamp, which is pulled to a certain height, and a mechanism is set up internally which works on the base that as the gravity pulls down the weight, an internal generator will operate to due to rotation caused by downward motion of the weight and the energy generated by the generator, will be used to power the LEDs. The Gravity Light by Deciwatt takes 3 second to raise the weight, and then it would operate for 25 minutes.

8. The Invisible Skyscraper

Tower Infinity, a proposed tower in South Korea, which is yet to be built, will be the world's first invisible skyscraper. The concept was presented by GDS Architects, and they confirm that even though the tower will appear invisible, the 450 meters high building will still be visible to planes and birds. The invisibility of the tower is achieved by cameras that capture the view around the tower, and then project it by projectors, with LEDs to enhance the image further.

9. Makerbot Digitizer
