Studies show that stress significantly increases a person’s risk for a vehicle accident. Even stressors beyond what you’re experiencing on the road (such as financial problems) can increase your likelihood of an accident.

With that in mind, Audi has created the Audi Active Coach. It’s a smart driving assistant that gives users access to a library of motivational and relaxation content while they drive.

The assistant can even alter your vehicle’s environment, like the lighting, audio, and climate, to improve your mood. It can also monitor your mood, helping you learn more about what causes you stress.

2. A 3D camera for professionals

Beyond content creation, you can also use Acer’s SpatialLabs Player 3.0 to stream 3D content on platforms like YouTube. Meanwhile, the SpatialLabs video call widget enables 3D video calls on platforms like Zoom and Teams.

Creative professionals appreciate tech that can adapt to various work situations. So, if your work takes you to an office or on-location, the ASUS ProArt PX13 has you covered.

This convertible laptop’s OLED touchscreen allows precise edits, while the flexible I/O ports connect to a wide range of peripherals. As a NVIDIA Studio-validated laptop with a GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPU, the graphics are breathtaking.

I love the 4 versatile modes: Tablet, Stand, Tent, and Laptop. Each allows me to work in a way that’s comfortable and appropriate for my varying tasks throughout a workday.

Research shows that smartphones and their constant onslaught of notifications and updates cause people a sense of urgency that significantly increases stress and anxiety. This can lead range of health problems.

Well, HMD, Heineken, and Bodega have collaborated to create a phone that doesn’t beg for your attention: the Boring phone. It has no HQ camera, no social media, and terrible productivity features…but it can cultivate a better social life.

For instance, the camera creates fun pixelized images you can look at and share. It also allows friends to help you navigate via SMS. And since it’s a flip phone, you can snap it shut dramatically, like people used to in the 90s—so satisfying!

6. A digital laser range finder for golfers

Golfers rejoice! Canon is entering the golf market with its PowerShot GOLF Digital Laser Rangefinder. Palm-sized and ergonomically shaped, this gadget promises to help golfers make better decisions during the game.

Specifically, the electronic viewfinder brings 6x to 12x digital zoom capabilities. Whether you want to zoom in on course features or the flag, the PowerShot gives you a better view of your target.

Other useful features include laser ranging, linear distance, slope correction, and photo/video capabilities. Plus, with Canon’s quality, it’s a product you can rely on.

You wouldn’t expect it from its classic design, but the XGIMI Horizon Max is a 4K long-throw projector with IMAX certification. It has surprisingly high specs, like a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and 3,000 lumens of brightness.

It also features an automated gimbal, positioning images on the wall without hassle. Then, MCL lasers (the kind in commercial theaters) ensure a wide color gamut and ultra-high contrast. If you’re looking to host incredible movie nights, this is one of the best exclusive tech gadgets coming soon for the job.

4. An AI haptic headset for visually impaired individuals

I’m always impressed at how tech can help people. A case in point are the .lumen Glasses. This AI haptic headset helps those with vision difficulties get around on their own, without the need for a guide dog.

While a guide dog pulls the hand, this AI-driven apparatus pulls the user’s head, guiding them around obstacles via haptics. Incredibly, it detects obstacles above and below the ground. Computing 100 times per second, it takes users where they need to go.

6. A fall-detecting AI smart lamp

Keep an eye on grandparents and older parents with the Nobi Ceiling. This AI smart ceiling lamp can detect falls and notify caretakers, ensuring your loved one gets help faster. For this reason, it’s one of my favorite exclusive tech gadgets coming soon.

The lamp offers preventative measures. For instance, it shines automated lighting at night, ensuring people can find their way to the bathroom without becoming disoriented. Also, when older adults leave the room, Nobi informs their caregivers, allowing them to help, if necessary.

7. AR glasses for gaming, training, and fun
