Some More Cool Tech Toys From CES-2016!!!

As we know Cycling is considered one of the best fitness exercise in the world but now a days there exists a lot of traffic on roads and cyclists are really concerned about their road safety.the Varia Rear view Radar from Garmin helps reinforce road safety for cyclists by warning them of vehicles approaching from behind up to 140 meters (about 153 yards) and displays the info on a screen mounted on the bike’s handlebars. Upto 8 vehicles can be notified and colors are used to indicate the increasing risk. This is the world's first cycling radar system and is the winner of CES Innovation Award. The Varia ($199.99, available now) can also warn approaching vehicles of a cyclist ahead with a light that increases in brightness or will flash faster as cars approach.

- iNail Printer
We have seen different type of printers like 3D printers etc but this is a type of printer particularly aimed at professional saloon rather than home use. iNail Intelligent Printer (available at $2,800) lets you choose or design a pattern or photo and then print it directly onto your fingernails -- whether you want to wait the 8-odd seconds for the gel polish to set (before applying top polish and sealing with UV light) or if you’d prefer to insert a set of 20 artificial nail/toe tips and apply them afterwards. The Chinese company says users can select from hundreds of designs via the 13.3-inch touchscreen or import a image of their own.
- Hexoskin
Montreal's Hexoskin is a type of smart shirt, which measures its wearer's cardiac and breathing activity. The shirt has the tracking device that slips into it. Hexoskin chief executive Pierre-Alexandre Fournier says the shirt works better than wrist-worn fitness trackers in activities such as martial arts, boxing or basketball.
"We measure things that are hard to measure on the wrist," he says. "And if you want to do team sports, you can't wear things on your wrist."
- LEGO WeDo 2.0
LEGO’s WeDo 2.0 is the next-generation S.T.E.M. offering looks to be a fascinating kit for teaching elementary school students the basics of programming and robotics.
