The name says it all - Waterwalkerz let you walk on water! Well, sort of.

More like hobble aimlessly around and try to stay upright. But it looks like tons of fun! And great exercise for the whole family because once you’re in, the ball is in constant rotation. The company claims a short 5 minute ride is enough to tire out even the most energetic people.

Biking in the city, sometimes you wish you had 360 degree vision. Especially with increased cars that seem distracted, especially for drivers talking on the cell phones and driving at the same time.

Nike has come up with a concept design for cycling glasses called the “Nike Hindsight” that will help riders see traffic approaching them from different angles.

Normally, most people only see about 180-degrees of forward vision, by using the curved “Fresnel” lenses it extends the riders field of vision by up to 25 per cent on each side. Beyond cycling for the daily grind, I can see these glasses as a wonderful tool for sports including track and field, marathons and even professional cyclists. Imagine riding in the Tour de France with the Hindsight and being able to see other racers approaching you without turning your head back.
Specifications

• Status: concept
• Designer: Billy May
• Production date: unknown
• Increased vision: 25 per cent on each side

SeaKey is like GM OnStar for boats - a satellite, subscription-based boat monitoring system that could help keep you safe on the water this summer.

SeaKey continually monitors for SOS messages and other alarms like “high water” alerts. When an alarm is sent out, your boat’s information (length, color, make, etc) and coordinates are sent to the Seakey Response Center, which in turn dispatches assistance.

If you’re going to be leaving the boat for an extended period of time, just activate the GeoFence and Key Switch Activation features. If someone tries to steal your boat while you’re gone, SeaKey will notify you and the authorities. They even have a 100% recovery rate for SeaKey users that activated the feature at the time of theft.
