Our list of the best tech in 2021
Moorebot Scout
With the rise of home surveillance and other critical security measures, including things like nanny cameras and robot vacuum cleaners, American customers have developed an interest in robot tech that incorporates at least some artificial intelligence. Enter the Moorebot Scout, an autonomous surveillance system that navigates your home on large tires that enable its self-driving capabilities.
The device is complete with cameras that can send back live data and create an opportunity to discuss ethical AI further.
Razer Project Brooklyn
The idea of a next-generation gaming chair is coming to life with Razer’s Project Brooklyn. This device features an arc with a retractable 60-inch OLED screen that offers a panoramic display. The device features seating, as well as RGB strip lights piped through the chair. The table can fold in and out and vibrate in response to actions within the game. Though this device sounds impressive, it has not yet hit the market. The concept was unveiled in 2021 and has caused a stir in the gaming community.
Ampere Shower Power
This showerhead is a device that features a lot more than the ability just to produce water—it also includes Bluetooth speakers. The device can be used for a wide range of functions—some of these can play music and respond to voice commands. The device is made from recyclable materials and powers itself with your shower’s water flow.
TCL 6-Series 8K Roku TVs
This device can now be considered a more traditional TV, and it is the latest updated installment in TCL’s famous 6-series set of 8K TVs. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a TV that offers a cinema-quality viewing experience for movies, as well as hyper-realistic gameplay for gamers. It’s important to note that although the PS5 and Xbox Series X are both compatible with 8K, most platforms like Netflix are not—so you may need to invest in a few good old-fashioned DVDs. As a bonus, this is one of the most affordable 8K options on the market.
Trova Home
This intelligent safe can easily be tucked away into a hidden spot within your home, though you might not want to with its modern, sleek design that helps make it look more like a work of art than a safe. It is around 14 inches at its longest and is designed to be bolted down in a permanent place within the home. The safe can connect with your mobile devices through an app that allows you to touch tap to scan your safe’s compartments or measure things like biometric security, humidity sensors, odor concealment, and more. The device began to ship to customers this past spring.
Satechi Dock5 Multi-Device Charging Station
If you’re one of those people with a smartphone, tablet, and a million other devices, you may benefit from this multi-device charging station. The charging dock features a single Qi wireless charging pad, dual USB-C charging ports, and dual USB-A charging ports—all conveniently apportioned and equipped with fire-safe temperature protection features to prevent overloaded circuits.
LG Transparent OLED TV
Though this device is still in its conceptual stage, it is no less tempting—this year, LG unveiled its plans to develop an OLED TV intended for the bedroom that features a transparent screen. It was revealed to Verge Magazine that this screen is 55 inches wide and can be turned down to 40% opacity, even while the device is being used—which is significantly lower opacity than previous devices of its kind on the market.
myQ Pet Portal
Do you remember those old-fashioned doggy doors that used to let in more than just your poodle? It could quickly become a port of entry for everything from draughts to bugs and…even raccoons and other furry creatures. This invention seeks to change all of that while also offering the convenience of a doggy door that doesn’t require you to get up to let Fido out during the day constantly.
The myQ Pet Portal features Bluetooth technology that connects with both the device and your pup’s collar. When the dog heads to the door to be let out, the sensors will either open the door or send an alert to its owner that allows the door to be opened via an app. Despite its high price tag, it offers a degree of security and convenience that you can’t beat.
Samsung Solar Cell Remote Control
Serving as a break from an endless number of TV options, Samsung has invented a new kind of remote that features a solar cell for power, letting you say goodbye to traditional batteries that continually need to be replaced—and the remote serves as a crucial step toward more sustainable devices. Thinking your remote doesn’t typically get much time in the sun? The device can be powered with indoor lights and charged via a USB port in a pinch. Because of this technology, Samsung has posted impressive estimates on the number of batteries that will be conserved as the years’ progress.
TCL Wearable Display
Wearables are constantly increasing in popularity and range of potential applications. These glasses take 1080p OLED TV quality but scale it down to the more minimalist device size, letting viewers skip the investment in a full-sized TV set. The entire purpose of this device is to allow the wearer to feel as though they’re watching TV on a high-quality, movie theater-sized screen that’s only about a dozen feet away.
