Similarly, all inventions are distributed in the 27 categories From Accessibility to Special Mention—the largest category of 50 products—through Consumer Electronics.

First of all, in class applications and softwareSpotlight on the social network ‘be realistic’, a French app that asks users to post what they’re doing at a certain time of the day. When the app indicates this, the user has two minutes to upload a selfie and a picture of what’s in front of them. In this way, the social network seeks to share naturally, without filters. BeReal hit the top of the list of free downloads on the App Store this summer.

Also included in the category are Truepic Lens, which securely documents the source and modification of photos and videos; and the You.com search engine.

In the category Electronics consumers finds new IBM nanometer chip. This technology is capable of placing 50 billion transistors, each the size of five atoms, in a very small space. It is the smallest and most powerful chip ever developed. In fact, Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. announced plans to produce the chip by 2025.

Similarly, there are other inventions residing under this category, such as A Smartphone microscope, from QingYing E&T, is about the size of a fingertip and attaches to the device with a nano suction cup. he is too Samsung Galaxy S22 phone super Or the new “smartphone” from the company is nothing, “Phone (1)”, and the samsung solar cell remote control, Remote control works without batteries.

On the other hand, in metaverse classHighlight Recreation of a public square that simulates the city of Seoul but in this digital environment. It is the first platform of this kind developed by a city, and it has a beta version for more than 3,000 residents and the idea is that the platform can be used for orientation. In its vision of the future, Seoul plans to “build a full-service virtual world” five years from now, according to Hosum Chae of Metaverse Seoul.

Other items like Meetings in Microsoft Mesh Metaverse for teams or “Skinetic Touch Jacket”a jacket that conveys physical sensations that occur in the metaverse, is also considered to fall into this category.

Times, also picked seven innovations within the framework of artificial intelligence, Among them is the AlphaFold machine learning software ‘deep mind’which is able to predict the structures of 200 million proteins.

Also included in this category are DALL-E Service 2, developed by OpenAI, which is used to generate images from descriptions; and apply Vehicle inspection using artificial intelligencewhich is developed by Ravin.

In the AR & VR classTimes has selected projects such as Magic Leap 2, a new device that can overlay 3D images and text; Waved “obsidian pro”the first panoramic video camera that records in 12K.

The Car class It includes BMW iX Flow ConceptThe chameleon car that allows you to change color through electronic ink. I have also appeared Snapdragon Digital ArchitectureDeveloped by Qualcomm or “eZee” modulea battery service developed by Power Global, where drivers exchange a battery unit once it runs out, for a freshly charged one, which is housed in a network of battery kiosks.

In the access section Projects like Phonak Audio Fit, the first commercially available headphones with a heart rate sensor; or the Android “ElliQ”which is driven by artificial intelligence and helps the user to develop healthy and social habits.

in others Categories such as entertainment and video gamestime has been highlighted Samsung Freestyle Projector, which differs in being very flexible and easy to transport, with an intelligent calibration function capable of creating a high-resolution image by configuring itself independently. Another innovation is wireless headphones HyperX Cloud Alpha Wirelesswhich lasts up to 300 hours between charges.

The green energy category identify Lithium ion battery, created with silicon powder from Sila Nanotechnologies; and the Graduated heat pumpwhich uses an electric pump for heating and a more environmentally friendly coolant for cooling, reducing carbon emissions by 50 to 80 percent.

Likewise, they have been chosen “LG Tiun”, Indoor gardening device from LG Electronics, V local category. While it is included in the category medical care XK300 Remote monitoring of vital signs, which operates 24 hours a day and was developed by Xandar Kardian

Finally, among other notable projects, in this category of private signals, Time magazine admitted ‘Panasonic Layout Free TV’a TV with a stand that allows it to move easily around the space thanks to its wireless connection.
