Those were the days when we watched all those James Bond, Matrix and Mission Impossible movies and wondered if we too could do it all with just a touch. Now, with a slew of hi-tech gadgets hitting the market, looks like it's all just 'push-a-button' away. Check out a few that might tickle your fancy.
Pen some art
Not all of us can create art with pen on the page, but what if we could take it to a different dimension? With the 3Doodler it’s all possible now. It’s an electronic pen that can create 3d art by a system of heating and cooling plastic in various colours. It’s conception began on Kickstarter where it raised over $2million dollars. Expected to launch in February this year, this device can redefine what’s at our fingertips.

Click, click
There’s a photographer in all of us, but maybe not the money for a new DSLR. But if you have a smart phone, the Sony QX lens camera is a great paring. Available in QX10 and slightly more powerful QX100 model, you can clip these to your phone and shoot whatever you like in various lighting conditions and get a sharp picture. So, go ahead pose, click and upload to your Facebook profile.

For the bathroom singer in you
Most of us have tried our vocal chords in the shower and we do love it. Now, bathroom singing has got better with a device that you can sing along with. With the Kohler Moxie showerhead and wireless speaker, singing in the shower has just got louder. The Moxie is a bluetooth-enabled speaker with rechargeable a battery that can also be detached for use on the go.

All play
All you PlayStation fans, here’s a latest from the house — PlayStation 4. Though the price for this one is steep, it boasts of many new features such as a new controller design with touch pad and headphone jack. It also has a share button for social media. The controllers can be charged while the system is off, and using the network doesn’t require a subscription. Perhaps most impressive, Sony claims the hardware is 10x more powerful than it’s predecessor.
Rs39,999
Watch out
And this is how our watches have just got smarter. Check out The Pebble Smartwatch which is all water, shatter and scratch resistant. So, what it does for you is handle apps for exercise, music, social media, email and displays caller id as well. Use it with an Android or Apple device, and customise the watch face to define a look that’s completely your own.
