Hypercells are shape-shifting robotics cubes that start out as a 10-centimetre cubes but can morph their elastic skin into a sphere using six internal pistons. By shifting an internal weight, the ball can roll in any direction. Each cell contains a tiny computer chip to sense its environment, avoid obstacles and communicate with each other.The cells use magnets to join up.

Photovoltaic glass (PV glass) is a technology that enables the conversion of light into electricity. To do so, the glass incorporates transparent semiconductor-based photovoltaic cells, which are also known as solar cells that are sandwiched between two sheets of glass.

Driven by smart technology and the Internet of Things, immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality have provided training and preparation for immersive conference room services for mainstream companies. Employees will eventually be able to use natural gestures to drive complex processes.

Dark analytics refers to the analysis using dark data. Dark data is data which is acquired through various computer network operations but not used in any manner to derive insights or for decision making. IBM estimates that roughly 90 percent of data generated by sensors and analogue-to-digital conversions never get used.

Self-cleaning surfaces are a class of materials with the inherent ability to remove any debris or bacteria from their surfaces in a variety of ways. The self-cleaning functionality of these surfaces is commonly inspired by natural phenomena observed in lotus leaves, gecko feet, and water striders to name a few.
