Underwater Drone
Price: $999
We have flying drones that can take aerial pictures of everything from the sky’s point-of-view. However, it’s time for the water world to shine as well. You don’t have to be a professional swimmer with diving gears just to get a glimpse of the beauty that is hidden underneath the ocean.
Biki is an underwater drone designed as a fish to avoid startling underwater life. It also navigates the sea like a fish as well. Now you will be able to record and catch the majesty of what the sea can give.
HoloLens
Price: $3,989.99
Microsoft HoloLens is a virtual reality headset similar to Oculus Rift. However, the HoloLens is using the environment around you and not generated by the device. HoloLens allows users to experience 3d holographic images produced in their current environment.
This is similar to one of the Black Mirror episodes where the guy was tasked to test the new game that utilizes the mind to create games. However, don’t worry because this one isn’t connected to the brain and can cause death. This is a step forward that will improve augmented reality.
Personal Robot
Price: $1,700, $134/month for 36 months for maintenance and $89/month for 36 months for insurance
We have seen them in the movies such as Meet the Robinsons and more. This makes personal robots really amazing to have in the household. However, what if you really can get a personal robot for your home? Yes, you read that right, there are plenty of personal robots available for you to buy right now.
Pepper is one of the most popular robots that you can avail as a companion. However, like most companions, Pepper comes with a price. And I tell, you all that robotics is not cheap. Other than paying for $1, 700 for the robot, you will have to pay $134/month and $89 /month for 3 years for additionals services. For rich people, that doesn’t seem like a problem though.
It’s a Rich Man’s World
