We have reported on this several times in the past, and now some such devices have been validated by a contest award. But when will we see them in production and in regular use?
The contest had 16 concepts submitted. The winners are invited to develop their ideas into prototypes and to compete in the second phase of the competition, in which up to three winners will be awarded $500,000 each next year.
Let's wait and see what happens after the winners get the funding boost.
