GADGET GIZMO SPECIAL Tech treasures to die for





Here are some of the coolest tech innovations that you won't mind shelling out big bucks on

Here's the smallest, lightest camera

GoPro popularised the tiny action camera. This time it has shrunk the camera to the size of an ice cube.Not surprisingly, GoPro's new HERO4 Session promises to capture unusual perspectives -just fix it on the spoke of a bicycle wheel, on a surfboard, your pet's collar or anything moving.

For mounting flexibility, HERO4 Session comes with specially designed mounts and accessories that also work seamlessly with other GoPro gears. Apart from 1080p (60 fps) video and 8MP photos, it features a rugged and waterproof design with easy onebutton control. The camera comes in two editions -Standard and Surf.

And, the smartest suitcase around

Planet Traveler's Space Case 1 claims to be the world's most hightech suitcase that flaunts advanced features comprising digital biometric lock, global tracker, high quality Bluetooth speakerphone, anti-theft alerts and personal concierge -all of which can be controlled through a dedicated smartphone app.

Space Case 1 is made of polycarbonate that can withstand exposure to UV radiation and is resistant to heat and cold. It supports self weighing with `digital self scale' without even lifting the case. The anti-theft feature includes sound alarm on the suitcase as well as an alert to your phone.

Sleep tight with EEG headphones

Having trouble sleeping? If distracting noise is your reason, consider this new sleep sensing EEG (electroencephalography) headphones. London-based startup Kokoon (in partnership with Onkyo) has designed the headphones with EEG sensors to help you snooze at any time of the day or night.

This ergonomic headset can monitor the electronic impulses in the wearer's brain to determine the exact moment of sleep and its different phases. The wearer can also listen to music and audio books comfortably in bed without the fear of waking up to the same audio. Shipping of the headset starts February next year.
