It just doesn't get more minimal than this. The Virtual Keyboard is a bluetooth for any iPad, iPhone or Android device that projects a laser-generated keyboard onto any flat, opaque surface.  

"The Class II laser device generates a 9 3/4"-wide x 4"-deep keyboard with 3/4" keys and recognizes keystrokes in three dimensions by an optical sensor that detects finger placement at different areas on the keyboard, distinguishing between a finger hovering above the space bar or a number key. An invisible infrared horizontal plane projected millimeters above the surface detects actual contact with "keys"-when the plane is interrupted by a finger, the projector assigns a keyboard character, passing it along to a paired device."

It's sure to keep up with you, with typing speeds up to 400 characters-per-minute. Its rechargeable battery provides up to 2 1/2 hours of operation from a 1 1/2-hour charge from AC using the included USB/AC adapter (or three hours via direct connection to a computer).

With the app, these three separate music boxes activate when in contact with the iPad. Artist Joelle Aeschlimann elaborates, "...each box contains its own universe revealed by the action of the crank with an animation and melody proper to each."

Say hello to the new smart must-have for every smart parent. The Smart Baby Monitor. 

For starters, you can pan, tilt and zoom around the baby's room, set alerts and notifications for temperature and noise control, set a night light and even melodies with a timer. Most importantly, you can use this on 3G network, with or without wi-fi and the app is always running the background even when you close it. 

With the PTZ technology (Pan-Tilt-Zoom), you can virtually move around the baby’s room. Just slide your finger like you would on a web page to get a full view of your child’s safety. The 3 megapixel video sensor gives you an impressive picture quality drawing on your iPhone. And the wide-angle lens allows you to monitor your child at all times without having to move the baby phone to 90° angle.

So what about at night? As soon as the ambient light decreases, night mode automatically switches on. You can check on your child at any time, in dim conditions or at night, thanks to the infrared camera. 

You can even talk to your baby. Just use the talk button.

You can choose from seven melodies and even set up a timer. It even has a night light where you can choose the color, brightness and also set it up by a timer. The app is always running in the background even when you close it, so every mom can be worry free.

It even sends you notifications and alerts about temperature and humidity changes, for an ideal atmosphere. And with a sound and motion curves histograph, you can view your child's sleeping/fidgeting patterns and be alerted when your child cries. 

It's no wonder the Smart Baby Monitor has claimed 5 awards. We think they just might have thought of everything.

Instagram gains one new user every second. And with one billion photos and counting, this app tops anything else on the market. Designer Markus Gerke might have made it even more popular with his concept, Instaglasses. As soon as you activate your glasses on the computer you can take photos and flip through filters, all through the lense. Sleek and retro, the concept is just as cool it's design. But Gerke only has small intentions, though the market seems to be very interested in a real pair of these unique shades. Gerke says, " It's only a design concept. I will not produce it and I don't want to make money with it. I only want to show, how it could look like." We only hope he changes his mind.
