Dry goods! Kickstarter's top ten most innovative projects

The United States is at the forefront of electronic technology innovation, and China is the fastest follower of electronic technology. After studying in Silicon Valley and Shenzhen, financial writer Wu Xiaobo wrote: Silicon Valley, only "the world has never been, I have come up from my mind", new technology is likely to be favored by investors; and in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, the first sentence of all entrepreneurs to venture capitalists is: "The prototype of this thing in the United States is like this, they have succeeded, I am the first person in China to know."

Now, I introduce the top 10 most innovative projects selected by Kickstarter, the largest crowdfunding platform in the United States.

Oculus Rift

This week, the Oculus Rift virtual reality helmet has officially begun shipping to consumers, and now the first users are already able to experience the field, and this first user of course includes Facebook CEO Zuckerberg, and There is also some discussion of the details of the Oculus Rift.

The recently released Oculus Rift was launched on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform on August 1, 2012, and was shocked by Facebook's $2 billion acquisition on March 26, 2014. Who can think of Oculus founder Palmer Luckey's plan for the year is just to imagine crowdfunding 100? Known as the VR first year of 2016, now only a quarter of the game, movies, art, who knows how many areas will be swept by VR?

In fact, Pebble's first-generation crowdfunding project on Kickstarter is not only the world's first smart watch in the true sense, but also opens up people's ideas to develop various apps on the watch. Pebble also refreshed the crowdfunding record at the time, and even the Kickstarter platform itself was on fire. In February last year, Pebble TIme crowdfunding went online, and once again refreshed the crowdfunding record, the strength of the strength is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Light sail

Scientist Carl Sagan showed him a kite-like installation in the Johnny Carson talk show in 1976 and explained how to conduct interplanetary navigation through the solar wind. This theory sounds so crazy that Johnny's father was blind at the time.
