On the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 many bright ideas and devices were presented, so I would like to stop your attention on one of them, that just few years ago would seem like pure science fiction.

We all have played sport simulator games where you can always check your speed, trace data or other information on the screen. With Recon Instruments goggles you can have this information displayed right in front of your eyes, while you skiing downhill for real.  The device displays automatically determined speed, altitude, geographic latitude/longitude, vertical projection of distance, total distance, time measurement, temperature and other data.

The goggles support bluetooth connection so you can use them for connection with mobile (under Android OS) and have information like calls, text messages or playlists displayed too. Yet another pleasant surprise is the open SDK support for new applications.

The eMachines company presented their new EZ1601-01 nettop with some very original design solutions. First impression is that this is actually a desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse. But than you realize that there is no desktop itself and it is the design of the nettop that makes it as comfortable to work on as on a desktop.
