A camera that helps musicians practice better
Musician's Mirror helps players overcome bad habits and avoid injury. The?computer vision based system watches its users practice and feeds back instantly, sounding warning notes to make them aware when they slip into bad habits. The system uses a camera, typically mounted on the music stand, to track the musician's overall posture, or any part of their body that they want to concentrate on. http://www.arthurcarabott.com/musicians-mirror/

A kitchen sink that can disappear
Tipic's Tul?r kitchen for Offmat features a counter made from a quartz composite that has a number of technologies built into the stone. The counter includes a sink with a base that sits flush with the top when not in use to make it seem like part of the surface. A motion sensor is embedded under the surface of the stone, and is activated by waving a hand over it. This triggers the base to lower and the tap to activate automatically. Further gestures can be used to control the temperature and flow of the water.
