Rise Of The Machines

1 Brow Magic: Goodbye micro blading. Ta ta threading. L'Oreal's Brow Magic has a face-scanning app that offers a range of brow shapes and essentially prints a non-permanent brow tattoo on your face in one smooth swipe. Imagine when they develop one for lipstick, blush and eyeshadow. This gadget arrives worldwide in the second half of 2023.

2 One-inch camera sensors: Although a handful of smartphones have one-inch sensors in their cameras, they're becoming mainstream. Most sensors are around 1/2.55 inches or 1/2.3 inches wide. A one-inch sensor allows more light to be captured, yielding better image quality. "Phones are getting closer to professional-level cameras," notes Shlok Srivastava, aka @techburner.

3 Eyva: Medical tests are annoying, most require a finger prick each time. Indian startup BlueSemi has opened bookings (for the third time) for EYVA, a tiny device that measures blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, oxygen level and average glucose levels in seconds just by placing your thumbs on the device.
