Slow Dance Frame by Wonder Machines
What if you could see things in slow motion right in front of your eyes? Well, this gadget called Slow Dance Frame from Wonder Machines makes objects slow, at least make them look slow. Slow Dance is a frame kit with a copper coil that makes real objects appear to move in slow motion. It is not magic or something. It takes advantage of the limits of human visual perception (optical illusion) to make things slower. In reality, the objects inside the frames will be affected by the exact same amount of gravity and other forces as we do.
Slow Dance Frame kit is easy to use, just insert any object like a flower or a bird feather in the clips that are inside the frame, plug the device to a power outlet and you will see the spectacle immediately.
Different modes allow you to cycle through different dance patterns, some slow
Rotofarm – A NASA Inspired Smart Indoor Garden
Rotofarm is a digital indoor garden that is designed from high technology to make it easy for planting vegetables, microgreens, and herbs. The gadget was founded by Toby Farmer, the founder of Bace. This device was designed to help homeowners who do not have space to plant their fresh herbs and greens in their backyard.

Wireless Powered Magnetic Floating Lamp Review
This gadget is a levitating light by Deepmag, the company that specializes in magnetic levitation and electromagnetic direct-drive technologies. Deepmag light has two important features. It receives power wirelessly and levitates magnetically upside down. Read it again, it is upside down. It is the coolest table lamp you can ever get.
The lamp has an ergonomic wooden body that looks stunning on any table. The wireless power can be harnessed up to 10 watts which is not bad at all. It has touch control and fall-proof design. Fall proof design means, if you unplug the lamp from a power source, the bulb, instead of falling down, gets attached to the lamp itself. This is just crazy.
The lamp is not available in the market yet. This lamp is definitely 'Shut Up and Take My Money'. Watch the video below and get blown away. Though this product is not out yet, I found
MetaFly – A Cool Ornithopter that You can Own
You might be knowing drones but do you know what an Ornithopter is? If no, check out this super cool gadget named Meta Fly which is very similar to a drone that flies in the sky but its an ornithopter, that means, it is like a flying insect that can maneuver itself.

As per the manufacturer, this drone-like creature is a biomimetic controllable creature that can fly in the sky for around 8 minutes on a single charge. The range is about 100 meters which is definitely less but since this gadget is being used as a toy, that should be fine. The drone is very similar to a dragonfly both in terms of look and functionality. It is invented by 'BionicBird' which had previously brought out another bird looking drone in late 2014.
Metafly is
