This year promises to be an exciting one for technology and science. There's a line-up of great products for you to look forward to.

The AirBoard 1.0

The AirBoard 1.0 is a fantastic new way to get around. The board works when you step onto the pressure pads (垫): to turn, all you have to do is move your weight to the left or right. It takes only one hour to be fully charged. Its increased fame among famous people has made it one of the most popular new kinds of technology.

The Miito

The Miito kettle is designed to heat up the water in any container. You can fill a cup with the right amount of water and place it onto the kettle. After placing the heating rod (棒) into the water, the rod would heat up and so would the water. More importantly, the product doesn't only save water. It also saves electricity, not to mention time waiting for water to boil.

The Oculus Rift

Have you ever wished you could walk through the world of your games, seeing things as your characters would? Well, now you can. This clever headset Rift allows you to see the world of your games in 3-D.

The Click & Grow

Are you the kind of person who enjoys using herbs and spices when cooking? The Cl ick & Grow makes sure that you always have fresh and well-grown herbs or other plants whenever you need them. It is self-watering, and it also has an LED light that makes sure the plants grow fast and healthy.
