Futuristic Hair Clippers Tested and They Genuinely Scared Me

Futuristic Hair Clippers Tested and They Genuinely Scared Me

I tested futuristic hair clippers that automatically give you a haircut. You pick a style, and sensors adjust the blade length as you move. The clippers retract if you tilt them wrong, making it impossible to mess up. Surprisingly, they worked better than I could do myself.

I tested the most Futuristic Tech - it scared me. | Transcript:

These clippers are from the future. You pick a haircut that you want and they can apparently give it to you automatically. I'm really sorry. I just had one. So, he's got to put this fade band on and then the clippers have a whole bunch of sensors that figure out how far they've moved from that band and they can adjust the blade length. So, all I've got to do is tilt it to keep this ball in the middle. Is that a fate? If it makes you feel any better, this is apparently impossible for me to screw up because if I tilt it at the wrong angle, it will just retract the blades.

Do you know what? That's a hell of a lot better than I'd be able to do on my own. And we are just getting started because I spent 3 months sourcing all the most futuristic tech on the planet. From gadgets that feel like they're from 2030 to stuff that shouldn't exist until 2050. I'm talking a band that changes your body's temperature like an AC unit. Massages that work your muscles autonomously, a mouthpiece that lets you control your computer with your tongue, and even a pocket camera that transforms into a tracking drone. The only question is, are these companies actually building the future that we want? To find out, let's jump straight to 2030, where apparently we're all going to be wearing solar hats.

So, when sunlight hits a normal hat, about 10% of that energy is reflected and about 90% of it is absorbed as heat into your head. Well, that sucks. So, a solar hat still has that 10% reflection, but now only 66% becomes heat because the solar cells are able to turn the remaining 24% of this energy directly into usable electricity. Moment of truth. It works. I mean, it might take a while to charge, but what an insanely convenient form factor. Just redirecting the energy that was previously going into cooking my scalp into charging my phone. How much is it going to charge? Well, it's on 1% right now.

Let's leave it plugged in and come back in the future to find out. The future, the only place where modular tech has ever worked. So, I'm curious if the Cadas Mind Pro modular PC can break the curse. So, this tiny little thing is the main computer. kind of mad that they've crammed in a high-end laptop chip, 64 gigs of RAM, and 2 terb of storage in the thing. And the specs actually used to be even higher. We just can't have nice things anymore in a memory crisis. But the key thing that they've actually invented here is the Mind Link highspeed interface, a connection that lets you snap this computer onto any of the Mind family of accessories. Like, let's say you want a laptop style setup. It works

and screen looks great. The keyboard feels laptop quality. The trackpad is also laptop quality, unfortunately. But now it's time for me to go to work cuz generally when I'm at the office, I like to lock in on the big screen. So, I got my PC on me. Now, I stick that onto the Mind Dock. This adds USB and HDMI ports, so you can have multiple monitors if you wanted, as well as its own speakers, volume knob, and a fingerprint reader. Also, did you notice how it instantly resumed even though I was moving it between workstations? Well, that's because it has a tiny little backup battery inside that can keep it on standby. All right, that was productive. So, now having accomplished absolutely

nothing in my workday, let's say I want to sack off and game. And that is where the mind graphics comes in, containing a desktop class RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, which is clearly powerful. I mean, this looks sick and feels very equivalent to a PS5 Pros level of performance. So everything this company has dreamed of actually works. I would say that if you are their ideal customer and you have these three specific zones where you do these three specific types of things, then this whole system is like magic. But what if you want to do something on the go? You've got your PC, but you can't do anything without a main's power source. And all of your screens are in different locations. Besides, to buy all

of these different pieces that we're using to build these different workstations, you're looking at like 4 1/2 grand. With that much money, wouldn't you just buy the most powerful laptop in the world that has all of this functionality built in? Not to mention a hinge that supports the screen without a kickstand. The modular curse continues. But what if instead of building a brain that needs a screen, you built something that uses the screen you already carry everywhere? Well, that's the idea behind the Kaira camera, and it feels a couple of years further into the future. Long story short, it's a professional mirrorless camera that just mag safes onto the back of your phone. It's not the first to do

this, but they're saying it's the best, obviously. So, it connects with direct Wi-Fi, which gives us the live camera feed on the phone. Well, that's a good start. It's got tap to focus and you can swap out lenses because it uses a standardized micro four/ thirds mount. So, you are definitely not short of shooting options. And to be fair, you could actually get away with that quality-wise. It's a little softer looking than the Pro cameras we normally shoot our videos with, but it's much closer to that than it is a smartphone. For reference, this is what that same shot would look like if you took it on an iPhone 18 Pro Max. Now, this is still in beta, and you can tell it should be

able to properly track subjects with focus, but it's really finicky right now and keeps losing it. The bakedin audio sounds really bad because it's only picking up sound from one of the phone's microphones and you're covering it when you hold the thing. Plus, for a gadget solely designed to make things look better, Kyra's app is not particularly pretty. But the thing they're marketing as the key differentiator here is actually the intelligence because they bundled in generative AI to edit the stuff you just shot without even leaving the app. Let's give it a shot, shall we? Change my ridiculous outfit to make me look a lot cooler.

Oh, well, it's giving me trousers. It's giving me a black t-shirt. It's still hideous, but it's a marked improvement. This is powerful AI cuz it's using Gemini's nano banana, but I don't know, man. Buying a professional camera body specifically to take more authentically highquality shots only to then run it through generative AI. It feels a bit to me like going to a Michelin star restaurant, ordering their signature dish, and then lathering it in ketchup. If you're going to do that, then why not just take a smartphone photo, run it through generative AI, and ask it to make it look like it was shot on one of these, cuz it's definitely capable of that. But if the Cairo lets you fake it till you make it as a photographer,

then the Liberia C2 stringless guitar lets you make it as a fake musician. I'm noticing a bit of a trend with the future. So, obviously, I'm not cool enough to play guitar. Lucky for me, I don't have to play this because the strings have been replaced here with buttons and Guitar Hero style paddles that you just push down. So, just like a real guitar, depending on how far up the neck my left hand goes, the strumming is going to create different notes. Oh, yeah. Plus, that's a built-in speaker and a really good one, too. And then you use this wheel to change the key in which you're playing. But then, unlike a real guitar, you can make this action sound like anything. So, one strum can lead to

multiple notes one after the other. Ooh, it's even responsive to how hard you're strumming. I can change the style of guitar that I want it to sound like. For example, warm electric. That's even better. But you can also just straight up turn it into other instruments entirely. There's even a piano mode. Oh my god, it's so relaxing. All right, I think the time has come because using this app, you can also play along to different songs. All right, 3 2 1. Oh my god. So, the neck is lighting up the colors I need to play. This is very Guitar Hero, but it's actually producing something amazing. I think we need to get this metronome in.

Oh, hey. Tell me that this is not the greatest rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star that you have ever heard. I feel amazing. Now, there's definitely an argument to be made that as much as this looks like the real deal, it's not teaching you how to play a real musical instrument, that it's just a cool looking musical toy. But if all you're after is just some no strings attached fun, you want to sound like you know what you're doing without actually needing to, then this is a ridiculously customizable, immensely polished way to do that. It's a real head, shoulders, knees, and toes kind of day today because that's my hands taken care of. My head's still busy charging my phone, and the next few gadgets are about to work their way

around the entire rest of my body. Because we've all got our ways of controlling temperature, right? Light a fire, crank the air con, or hell, put on a jacket. But what if you could just press a button on your wrist with the Ember Wave 2? So, you put it on kind of like a backwards watch. It already looked odd enough when it was the right way up. There goes my final traces of street cred, I guess. But the reason it goes there is because have you ever heard of that cooling tip about applying ice to the inside of your wrist to make your whole body feel cooler? Well, the reason people say that is because this area has some of the thinnest skin and also some of the highest density of temperature

sensitive nerve endings called thermo receptors. And so the idea is this not watch sits there and uses a thermmoelect electric heat pump to either move heat towards or away from those receptors with this button. It's actually really hot right now with this ridiculous jacket. So I'm going to crank it to its lowest temperature. Okay, my wrist is extremely cold, but is the rest of my body falling in temperature? Kind of is. I can feel on my wrist flashes of hot and cold. I guess as new blood is being pumped towards that area, but I feel more comfortable than I did a minute ago. And I quite like the fact that it's almost fixing the overheating problem on a fundamental level as

opposed to the temporary relief from getting a fan and just blowing it out your face. Oh wow, you can actually see the giant cool patch that's left behind on my wrist. So in its current stage, this is only going to make small differences to your overall body temperature. But the idea of each person having their own individual climate control is definitely an idea that I would like to see more of. All right, now that we've looked after our wrists, we might as well move further down with the Air Zoom Hypers Slides. And these sound very much up my feet. They're a collaboration between Nike, who's providing the Air Zoom cushioning, and then Hyper Ice, you know, that company making high-tech sports recovery gear. Shout out to Marquez and his long

boots. And they're the ones providing this magnetic recovery pod. So, the idea is that the pod snaps onto there. You pick how hot you want it to get from one to three and what level of vibration you want. We are good to go. Oh, the Hyper logo glowing through. That is sick. Oh, this is really strange. First of all, they are louder than I expected. So, you couldn't be working in an office while using these. The cushioning is incredible. I love that my feet don't slip out. They feel really firmly planted inside the sliders. I would say as both a slider and a massage enthusiast that these are really close to my dream product. The only thing I would change is that the massage feels a little bit too vibraty as opposed to the

really satisfying kneading of like a person giving you a foot massage. I will be keeping these though. But honestly, with the amount of time that I spend hunched over a desk, it's my back that needs the attention more than my feet. Enter the Riofit A1, the world's first hands-free AI powered automatic foam roller. Wow, this looks like a weapon. And it kind of functions like one, too. The thing's got 84 massage nodes, which are designed to attack every stress point in your back while thankfully avoiding the very fragile spine area. 3 2 1 Do me. Oh god. So, I think it's using the friction of my body to pull itself up. Ah, my back.

Oh, that feels good. That's good. That is good. Right. I guess the roller becomes the rolly. I heard a click that time. I feel like this is either going to cost physiootherapists their jobs or schmucks like me their backs. It's very powerful, but I got to say it is incredibly efficient that it's covering the entire width of your body every time it passes up and down. Oh, hell yeah. I like the butt area. Oh, I feel great. It feels like it's done a 60 minutes massage worth of pressure relief in about five. The Think can even create a personalized stiffness map to be able to then target the parts of your body that need it most. And the

most exciting part is this is not the only physiootherapy robot in this video because how do you one up a robotic roller? Three robotic rollers. This is theot and apparently it's supposed to be able to travel up and down your leg to massage entirely on its own. Now, this is a pre-production unit, so it might be a little janky or it just goes completely rogue and breaks my entire leg off. Oh, so when you turn it on, it expands to its max size and then slowly contracts until it's around

your leg properly. Wo! Oh my god. What? That's tight. That is tight. It's got serious clamping force. Look at that. Look at the way my leg moves around it. Ow. That's insane. Look at the way it jumps across my knee. And it's not sliding down my leg either. It's got enough friction to properly adear. We're about to do max intensity now. You can go up. This is by far the deepest leg massage I have ever had in my life. Okay. Okay, that's probably enough. Wait, this is crazy. It's adjusting its pressure in real time based on where it is in the leg. And you can see that it actually knows where it

leg stop. Meant to be able to talk to it. Stop. Turn it down. Less strength. Wo. Hell yeah. Okay. I mean, I'm not going to be maxing that out again in a hurry. But what other form factor are you going to be getting a 360° leg massage with zero hands required? This literally feels like someone hacked the timeline and brought something back that wasn't even meant to exist right now. I'm telling you, I think I can see all three of these in my future. Okay, it's finally time to check the charge. So, it's been just under 2 hours. Disha's prediction is it's charged 12%. I'm not massively optimistic. We've had pretty bad experiences with solar charging.

42%. You're kidding me. That's the future I want. So, apparently Dyson is no longer satisfied with merely cleaning your house. In the future, they want to clean inside you. Hey yo, what the with a toothbrush. Oh my goodness. This looks like it literally just landed from space. yeah. I'm not actually sure me and my earthling brain know how to get inside. Oh, right. That'll do it. Wow. This is the camera jet. An electric toothbrush, a flosser, and a camera all in one product. feel like Steve Jobs right now. They're saying that the camera here analyzes 28 images per second so that while you're brushing

your teeth, it'll identify the gaps between them and target them with the flosser at the same time. Oh, it's definitely firing. It's actually counting how many auto jets it's shot. Very aggressive sounding though. It kind of feels like you're getting shot with a cap gun every 2 seconds. Oh, if you apply too much pressure, it just keeps beeping and then stops. And then if I just try scrubbing like this, which is bad technique, it gives me a different kind of warning. Okay, so 3 minutes and 70 autojets later. That feels pretty amazing actually. And then when you're done, you click it back into its space pod thing to send it home. You press this button on top.

Wow. It refills the cleaning fluid. It's just I think they rushed it out the gate cuz they're clearly having hardware issues. Like the first one we bought of these broke within 10 seconds of the first clean. And from everything we can find, they seem to be issuing some sort of soft recall from stalls. But at some point in the future, this is going to improve people's lives. So excited. Now that it's all clean in there, let's stick something even more futuristic in my gob. It's kind of like a retainer, but one that's going to turn the roof of my mouth into a control pad that I touch with my tongue. And then wo, that's insane.

Not sure you could quite get away with this as a stealth operation, but look at the software. It's showing what it's picking up as I move my tongue around, and it does feel like 95% as precise as a finger trackpad. So, let's say we're using the Opera browser, our sponsor, to learn more about this thing. Can I activate Opera AI just using my tongue? So, navigate to the corner. Oh, yes, I can. Left click is really simple. You just tap the roof of your mouth. But right click is kind of weird. You have to do a sort of micro suck. But it is so cool seeing how this software is picking up all of these

micro mouth movements in real time. So, let's ask the AI. Is the mouthpad also compatible with smartphones? Oh, yes, it is. iOS and Android. Also, can we just take in for a second that I'm controlling my entire Mac using just my mouth. Real hands-free kind of day. But there is another layer to this mouse pad because it also has head tracking thanks to inbuilt gyro sensors. I've set mine up so that as I'm moving my head, the cursor follows. It really does work. Okay, let's go to the top. So, this is Opera's new vertical tabs, which actually makes a lot of sense cuz let's say you're diving into some research and you want to be able to see all the titles of the tabs. And now you can. And then I can also just

scroll by holding the top or bottom of the trackpad. But yeah, you can start your next project with Opera linked in the description. I'm so curious how this translates to a game. That's crazy. So, I can cycle through my items by scrolling, and I can look around with my head. I'm sure I could even map it so that my cursor actually moves him. Okay. I mean, obviously, this has some very serious benefits to people with disabilities. But the execution is good enough that I'm also just wondering if this could be used by nerds who like to get a lot done and love the idea of bringing an extra appendage into play.

We're now down to the most bleeding edge, state-of-the-art sounding gadgets. It's 2050 and you've just bought yourself a Hover Air Versa. So, it's a pocket action camera. It's got a rotating screen to help you record in both portrait and landscape. That's pretty cool. With a free axis gimbal baked inside, it's nothing extraordinary. And the quality is fine. It's 4K. It's a decent size sensor. It's basically smartphone quality video, but with above smartphone quality stabilization. So, what on earth is it doing in this video? Well, it flies. You can literally buy a flight kit which includes a set of propellers that will literally just magnetically attach onto the camera. You pick the mode that you want to take off in.

Inception mode. Oh, wow. That is cool. I think I'm just going to do follow. Then, in theory, I should just be able to And then without a controller, it's just going to follow me with AI tracking. What? Help. Jesus Christ. Get away from me. He actually navigated through that tiny little sliver in the fence. And then this is inception mode. Oh my god, that is crazy cool. You can literally see the camera slowly rotating on the gimbal as it's flying towards me. And in theory, if you just stick your hand underneath. I love the future. The last thing I want to try is orbit mode. So, you set your radius. You set how fast you want it to go. So, it's moving into position.

All right. Screw it. Finger guns. Oh my god, that's fast. I honestly thought this whole attaching detaching camera thing would be ultra gimmicky. But this is not just ludicrously cool, it's useful. But now we have reached the single most ridiculously futuristic product I've maybe ever seen. The Robbo Saros Z70. Oh, whoops. That's what I get for trying to unbox aesthetically. Let's get into it. So, we've all seen roboacs at this point, and a lot of them are clever enough now to figure out when objects are in front of them and clean around them. But how about a roboac that can instead pick those things up and move

them out of its path with a retractable robotic arm? So, what if I just Oh, wow. I can actually see the live feed from its camera. And there's a remote control. Damn, look at the suspension on you. It's actually way more handy to be able to drive something like this around than a remote control car because you can actually see what needs cleaning. Oh, it actually recognized it as footwear. It says confidence level 93%. Okay, go sort. What is it going to do? Come on. I still don't quite believe it's going to do what it says it's going to do. Oh my god, it's happening.

Oh my god, It's not going to have enough clamping force though. Surely. So, where are you going to take that? I can't quite wrap my head around just how complex that is to pull off. Like you think about the fact that it's got to know the shoe. It's got to realize how it's got to orient itself. It's got to then hint at just the right point in the shoe to pick it up properly and reliably. And then it's put it back in our shoe zone. I'm speechless. And you might look at that and think, "Oh, that's really gimmicky. You know, I can just put my shoe back in 5 seconds." But the number of times I've had a robot vacuum cleaner stop on me and the reason

it stopped is because something has got in its way is uncountable. So that actually solves a very real problem that these things sometimes have in such a cool way. Charging. Yeah, you deserve it, buddy. Turns out there's a lot of companies building the future that I
