Out of almost a hundred new designs, there were a few extremely intriguing ones. One the multiple fascinating creations was the “Sony Bluetooth tennis racket”. This is a tennis racket that has a built in blue-tooth. As one plays with the racket, the statistics of the actions are shown on either a smartphone or tablet screen. These statistics include a player’s swing speed, ball speed, as well as spin rate. Another one that was tremendously interesting was the 3D food printer called the “ChefJet Pro 3D”. This food printer creates a 3D print of edible, multi colored candy with a single flavor. This invention is intended to be used in places such as hotels and restaurants. As Time magazine writes,” ...expected to hit the market in the second half of 2014 for approximately $10,000”. The “PawsCam Camera” was also one of the interesting inventions. This is a “waterproof, two megapixel camera” that is hung on the leash of a dog. It is used to film any interesting things that happen. This may also be used to see what one’s pet is doing when they are not around. It is said that this will be available in March, for a price of about $200. All in all, the 2014 Vegas tech show presented great new ideas. These are just a few of those multiple awesome creations.

  2. The Las Vegas Tech Show has displayed many interesting and important and creative prototypes. The most interesting device mentioned in the aforementioned article was the pet camera. It is simply a genius idea and has numerous applications. If only the quality of the camera was more than two megapixels, a better view of a pet's life. A common smart-phone has more megapixels. A Go-Pro or a Sony Action Camera is similar.
