2014 saw multiple new, technological advances as consumers were introduced to an iPhone upgrade, medical brain mapping advances, microscale 3D printing, alternative transportation and energy resources, among others, but innovations are still being created and here are possibilities that may be in store for 2015.

1. Portable cameras for police officers. The use of portable cameras by police will provide visual proof to support evidence for court cases. In theory, a “third eye” will keep law enforcement and civilians on their best behavior and reduce future misunderstandings.
2. Apple iWatch. The long-awaited iWatch will be Apple’s first wearable device, building a broader path for the smartwatch. At $350, the iWatch will include health and fitness tracking abilities, enable messaging, run apps and be compatible with Apple models using at least iOS 8.2.
3. Audi’s car-controlling Smartwatch. The German automobile manufacturer announced a smartwatch that can manipulate a car using near-field communication (NFC) technology. The watch will have the ability to manipulate the engine, interior temperature and stereo while monitoring its owner’s heart rate and body temperature.
4. Sekonix DLP Pico Keychain Projector. The world’s smallest projector can project images or videos and features a USB port compatible with most devices. The Sekonix keychain is expected to replace the traditional projector. Although it was originally available in 2014 for $200, the projector’s popularity is expected to grow in the business world because of its portability.
5. Mi.Mu Gloves. Singer-songwriter Imogen Heap has created gloves intended to replace traditional band instruments in the concert setting. The need for guitars, drums and keyboards has disappeared as computers can be substituted for synthesizers and processors. Selling for $2,000, the Mi.Mu Gloves have a complex arrangement of sensors, buttons and buzzers linked to computer software that translates hand gestures into musical sounds.
