The alarm clock would be solar as there would be two solar wings to assit it in that. Moreover the color of it is solid golden, which by the way not be liked by many. Anyways, there is radio integrated in it. Seems like the alarm clock will play your favorite radio station as the alarm.

Keeping a family organized and to make sure everyone gets together on an occasion is a difficult thing in this busy world now-a-days. Earlier attaching small notes to the family fridge was one thing to make sure that a family member gets the message when he arrives home. But now with the revolutionary 'Joggler' by O2 is going to change this, with its superb connectivity technology no person in the house would be left ill-informed of something. The joggler connects wireless or via Ethernet port to your computer, from which you can update its calender with things to remind. This would automatically update the O2 Joggler and every person can read it. Its just like a variable post note on a fridge, but its portable.

Alistair Johnston, Marketing Director, Telefónica O2 UK said:

We’ve developed the O2 Joggler with today’s busy families in mind. It has been purpose built to help families better organize their lives.

Whenever the calender is update, the Joggler will  automatically send a text reminder to each family member's O2 phone. However, sending messages to the Joggler via a mobile phone is not available at the moment but this facility will be in the Joggler sooner or later.

Other features that the O2 Joggler has are as follows:

• Weather - If you are planning to go somewhere, you can check from the  O2 Joggler weather widget, which gives out four-day forecast from 60 UK towns as well as most other cities across the world. Its provided by Sky News Weather.
• Traffic - Trafficmaster lets you know what kind of traffic is on the road and what the average driving speed. It also remembers, what was the last location you checked for the traffic status.
• News & Sports ­- Sky News and Sky Sports gives out the latest headlines updated through out the day.
• Photos - It can also be used to store upto 200 pictures which you can transfer via a USB port in its 1GB storage memory.
  
• Music/ Video - You can play upto 100 songs stored in the device memory and also you can stream them through your PC.
• Games - Suduko is available to play, however more games will be added soon.
  
• Tools - It can also be used as a calculator and alarm clock.

New Virtual Reality Technology - The Virtual Cocoon

Virtual reality is now has a whole new meaning, thanks to the British scientists who have designed a helmet namely as the 'Virtual Cocoon'. This new device would give you the real time experience and not only that you can smell,taste and feel the atmosphere in which you will be watching in this helmet. This is such an amazing and brilliant invention, just imagine you sitting in your room and watching African lions passing by your eyes and you feeling like you are really there !!

The device has to be worn like a helmet, although it doesn't looks like one. As you can see in the above picture, look how big the screen is. Not only that with surround sound and other technologies in work, it won't let down your expectations.

Lets see how the device actually gonna give you the smell,taste and real time experience.



As you can see in the above pic (click pic to enlarge if you want to), there are:

• 4 speakers for surround sound
• Wireless connectivity with the source computer
• Fan to give cold and hot air
• High definition screen using LED and LCD technology
• Device for giving out five basic tastes i.e. sweet,sour,meaty,salty and bitter
• Smell tube for releasing smell under the nose

This device sure is way steps ahead of the earlier virtual reality technology we know.Professor David Howard of the University of York said:

VR projects have typically only focused on one or two of the five senses - usually sight and hearing.

The Virtual Cocoon would sure bring in some flavor in our lives and also the way we used to do things. Students could get the experience to study subjects with great interest, like studying history or science. Moreover, there could be number of un-countable uses of this very device.

However, it would take 5years to be fully completed. The price would be around £1,500 ($2100).
