The ultimate relaxation experience
That's not the only massage product that stole my attention. As you can see by the smile on my face, the Pharaoh S II massage chair by a company called Bodyfriend is the first of its kind to offer separate leg movements and stretching. The pads next to your shoulders pull you into the massage action unlike any massage chair experience before.
Pharaoh S II massage chair (Bodyfriend)
The chair provided me with a luxurious massage in minutes. It has many features, including a premium XD massage module that can adjust the position and range of the massage rollers to fit your body shape and preference. It also has an S&L frame that can massage your entire body from head to toe. In addition, the Pharaoh S II massage chair has a specialized leg massage that includes a calf roller, airbags that knead both sides of your calf and feet, and a sole roller that targets acupoints on your sole.
The Pharaoh S II also has some special features that set it apart from other massage chairs. It has a brain massage mode that uses binaural beats to stimulate your brain waves and help you relax. It has a palm shiatsu mode that uses magnetic reflexology to massage the acupoints on your hands. It also has a rest mode that uses patented technology to heal your body. And it has 26 auto modes that you can choose from depending on your mood and needs. At 12 grand, you would expect something this remarkable from that price tag.
10. How AI is helping people see better
MyEye (OrCam)
OrCam MyEye is a small device that can be clipped to any pair of glasses. MyEye uses artificial intelligence to scan and read any text, whether it is on a screen, a book, a sign or a menu.

The MyEye device can really enhance the independence and quality of life of people with visual impairment.
Bonus: No ordinary eyeglasses
Vixion1
One last product that also literally caught our eye that I wanted to tell you about is Vixion01 eyewear. These are no ordinary eyeglasses. They have a special feature that makes them autofocus. That means they can automatically adjust the lenses to match the distance of whatever you are looking at.
Vixion1 (Vixion)
They have a built-in time-of-flight depth sensor that helps them figure out the distance between your eyes and what you want to see, and then they make the lenses sharper or softer. You can focus on anything without using your eye muscles. Sold only right now in Japan for $690, this high-tech eyewear is expected to eventually be rolled out into global markets including the U.S.
