Koding Tech Select: sonar glove and reaction phone.

Today we're relaxing in our chairs and watching movies. Of course, between Christmas and New Year's Eve, we feel the need to let ourselves be visually massaged.
Now we can use underwater echolocation almost like dolphins. A group of Japanese researchers at Tsukuba University have built a sonar glove that "sees" obstacles using ultrasound and then transmits feedback in the form of vibrations to the swimmer's fingers. Perfect for snorkeling on the beaches of Thassos.

Veterans say it's a bad solution. Early-adopters are delighted. And conspiracy theorists are convinced that big corporations will ignore it, in order to sell more phones. It's about the phone with air jets that activate when it senses the approach of a blow. Goodbye broken phones, cracked screens and wasted money, hello to phones with tiny batteries and CO2 cylinders as accessories. It's an older idea, but beautifully put into images.

And finally, a visual anti-cellulite massage with a GoPro year-in-review. Set the resolution to maximum and take a deep breath.

We wish you a new year with technologies advanced enough to seem magical.
