Eyesight-Activated Dresses
Invented by – Ying Gao
Ying Gao invented vision-activated garments in 2013. The light-up garments designed by Ying Gao are a great way to determine whether someone is watching you. The clothing are made with "photoluminescent thread" and use eye-tracking technology to generate light when the wearer's sight is drawn to it. These light-up dresses are an excellent method to emphasise that you are being noticed. These sci-fi costumes appear to be the ideal choice for on-stage wear for artists with an avant-garde sense of style.

Electric Bicycle
Invented by – Amelia Roblin
Amelia Roblin was the first to debut the electric bicycle in 2013. A motorised bicycle with an integrated electric motor used to help propulsion is known as an electric bicycle (e-bike, eBike, etc.). There are many different types of e-bikes available around the world, but they generally fall into two categories: those that help the rider's pedal power and those that have a throttle and moped-style capabilities. Both are not electric motorcycles because they may still be pedalled by the rider. E-bikes have rechargeable batteries and can travel up to 32 kilometres per hour (16 to 20 mph). High-powered types can frequently reach speeds of greater than 45 km/h (28 mph). In some regions, like as Germany, they are gaining popularity and capturing market share from traditional bicycles as of 2013.

3D-Printed Food
Invented by – Janne Kytannen
Janne Kytannen's Meal Preparation Concept Incorporates Cutting-Edge Manufacturing. Janne Kytannen, co-founder of the Freedom of Creation design studio, proposes an innovative notion that could alter the way edibles are manufactured. A marinara sauce and a light-colored soup have been blended with men's heads, sea plants, wedge shoes, and strings of writing. These unusual shapes are essentially scaled-down replicas of the designer's larger sculptures. Food 3D-printed in a variety of forms and sizes could be designed for aesthetics, ease of ingestion, or both.
