The coming year will surely include no shortage of new smartphones, tablets and other mainstream gadgets now entrenched in the consumer market. Some will focus on aesthetics, taking a page from Samsung’s curved-glass design for its new Galaxy Round. Others will opt for better cameras, higher-resolution displays, longer battery life and further, incremental advances.
Many new devices, however, will debut in 2014 with the hope of tapping into some as-yet unmet need. These gadgets—largely unproved, crowdfunded and in search of a following—combine wireless connectivity, GPS, sensors and other existing technologies in novel ways that promise to help us work more efficiently, track our health or navigate our surroundings.
