Hello, everyone, I’m Xiang Jun, and it’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye. At this time of year, Time magazine, a famous American magazine, will select the 100 best innovative inventions in the world this year, and the products of Apple and Tesla have all topped the list.
The nominated products are among the best in originality, innovation and influence. Let’s take a look at what is changing our lives in 2019. There are three inventions from China. Who says that China can’t make them? Who is in a hurry?
In addition, there will be many "world firsts" in the text, so everyone must hold their chin and read it. The first three are all from China!
01
Tesla in skateboarding
As a smart skateboard with the strongest surface and the reputation of "Tesla in skateboarding", SPECTRA has been on the market for two years and won the German Red Dot Design Award twice. It should be expected that it will successfully board the 2019 Time magazine list.
The cool appearance, full sense of technological future, excellent performance and elegant design are hard to forget at a glance.


With the world’s first 3D posture control system, it can detect deceleration and acceleration according to people’s body movements, and novice players can learn it easily without worrying about falling. As a zero-based skateboarder, Xiang Jun is a little moved.
It is reported that this is still the award. The youngest winning team in history was founded in 2015 with DJI’s Walnut Technology. At that time, the average age of the team was only 24 years old. I have to say, China’s post-90s generation is really amazing.
Skateboarding enthusiasts and media at home and abroad are so excited about the appearance of this skateboard that it has also set off a hot sale frenzy in North America, Japan and South Korea.

The world’s first folding screen notebook computer
The world’s first folding screen notebook computer comes from our domestic brand Lenovo. Seeing the folding mobile phone has made people scream. This Lenovo folding screen once again subverts the public’s perception of traditional notebooks.
The folded computer is only 9 inches in size, just like our daily handwritten notebook, and it is more portable than most small notebook computers.
Boldly predict that one day in the future, laptops will be small enough to be carried in your pocket. The foldable screen seems to be very futuristic, but it is designed to be easy to use. It can be used as both a notebook computer and a tablet, with forms such as tablet, book and notebook.
For example, it can be read like a book on the way to work, or it can be placed on the desktop for office use like a traditional laptop. It is reported that this folding screen notebook will be officially sold to the public in 2020.

03
IF& red dot double nova
OBSBOT Tai, the world’s first AI self-directed camera, has won two international design awards, IF& Red Dot. Friends who like to shoot videos should be familiar with this brand.
In addition, even the old American film and television magazines Variety, Forbes and other important media have reported it, which has been recognized by the global design community.

Xiang Jun introduced it as a "camera with forever C position" with a fashionable sentence. It is no exaggeration to say that its functions are definitely the gospel of video photographers, and no wonderful moment can escape its lens.
Ruimo Intelligent, a local design company located in Shenzhen, has been studying for three years, which can be said to have deeply explored the needs of users in the era of short video for all.

Normal mobile phone or camera shooting, more or less need the help of others, or change the location to complete a work shooting.

Searching for shadows accurately grasped this design pain point, and set up a 360-degree infinite automatic follow-up and recording. Based on the AI algorithm function, the area within 20 meters of Fiona Fang can be controlled by gestures or automatically carried out by AI.

04
Intelligent crutches designed by blind designers
This is a crutch designed by a Turkish blind designer for the visually impaired. When Xiang Jun saw this design, he was very happy and had another good design that cared for minorities.
You may not know that about one in every 27 people in the world is visually impaired, and a total of more than 285 million people need crutches. We need to help them walk in the digital world.

WeWALK is attached to the traditional white cane and transformed into an innovative smart cane. It is equipped with a voice assistant, navigation and sensors, and uses ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles above the chest, and sends out warning gestures through vibration to ensure the safety of the blind.
This technology improves the independence of visually impaired people and promotes their full participation in society.

When he is in the subway station, he can know which exit is, judge that there are cars approaching nearby, and tell him that there are several shops around.

Don’t forget that the designer of this crutch is also blind. He said, in the world of ordinary people, we are talking about playing wherever we want, but these people just use an ordinary stick, so it is really necessary to do it well.

05
Talking glasses
This is also a smart glasses designed for the blind and visually impaired, which can be said to be the most advanced wearable assistant in the world.
It is activated by an intuitive pointing gesture or simply by following the wearer’s eyes.

Read printed and digital text from any surface, recognize faces, products, banknotes, etc., and output synchronous voice in real time.

Visually impaired people can be directly installed on the mirror frame, weighing less than 23 grams, and can be used without smart phones or Wi-Fi.

06
The world’s first toy robot
ROYBI Robot is an AI educational robot. The concept of combining artificial intelligence with robots enables Roybi to constantly improve his understanding of children in the process of language learning with children, and provide personalized learning content according to children’s learning interest and rhythm.
Accompany children aged 2 to 7 to learn languages. Through face recognition, voice detection, emotion detection and other technologies. Track the progress of each child’s language learning and correct pronunciation and words.

Even in areas lacking teachers, you can get learning opportunities in the cloud through AI robots.

07
VR classroom into campus
It took computer scientists 30 years to invent VR glasses and gloves. This year, a more powerful product, the AR/VR notebook computer zspace, simulates the immersion of the virtual world and is committed to making our classroom more real.
The characteristic of zSpace is dynamic realism, which tracks familiar movements and interactions that people often use, and the system reads the body position and responds to the movements during the interaction, thus creating a natural and comfortable experience.

Isn’t this something that Jun always dreamed of when he was at school, and it has come true today. It can be said that the progress of science and technology has created a better society and brought convenience to people in all aspects.
This virtual and augmented reality visualization technology will definitely bring more wonderful experiences in education, medicine and many other fields. Think about how wonderful it would be to learn in this form.
08
Intelligent writing robot
Scribit is the world’s first writing and erasing robot, which can turn your wall into an interactive canvas, use marks very accurately and copy any kind of content. It can be said to be a unique device.
All you need is two nails and a power plug.

Automatically drawn by the machine through app control, each wall or shop window can be turned into a temporary canvas.

Using four colors of brushes, red, yellow, blue and black brushes, you can repeat painting and erase thousands of times.
Crossing the gap between numbers and entities and combining art and technology, any picture can become a mural in just a few minutes.

09
Automatic delivery robot
Look, people have delivered robots to their doors. There is absolutely nothing impossible in the future world, only you can’t think of it.
It looks like a shopping cart, with bright yellow paint on it and two big eye discs, which can blink very cute.


Using lidar, sonar and GPS to navigate can automatically avoid bends or obstacles.

When it enters the crosswalk, it can send a signal to the car. In short, you can see it sailing on the street, just like a self-driving car.

Intelligent prosthesis for the benefit of mankind
The world’s first brain-computer interface intelligent prosthesis, BrainRobotics intelligent prosthesis, as the main cover of weekly magazine, was evaluated as a precedent in the field of brain-computer interface.
The girl who appeared on the TV program and played the piano with Lang Lang was wearing this kind of prosthesis.

The highlight of this intelligent prosthesis is that 3D scanning and printing are used to create a customized socket and find the perfect match between the prosthesis and the patient. The patient only needs to put the amputation in the scanner, and the machine will generate a digital model of the missing part, which no longer needs expensive doctors to check and modify, and finally doubles the cost of the prosthesis.

With a super AI algorithm, it is directly controlled by muscle and nerve signals, and users can achieve accurate activities in a minimum of 5 minutes of learning.
At present, complicated operations such as shaking hands, grabbing cups, writing calligraphy and playing the piano can be realized.

It is worth mentioning that BrainCo, the design team of this intelligent prosthesis, is the first Chinese team to be selected into the innovation laboratory of Harvard University. Their invention is definitely another major innovation in prosthetic design.


Xiang Jun likes the designs on this list very much. Perhaps with the arrival of the 5G or even 6G era, our most intuitive feeling is that the network speed has become faster, but in the hands of designers, these good things full of black technology have been invented, making our lives more convenient and bringing happiness to social minorities. Here, thanks to science and technology to make human life better.
