These October 2016 gadgets range from tactile payment devices to directional GPS eyewear to tactile payment devices. While Tomas Moyano and Nicolas Aichino's sunglasses concept helps to aid the visually impaired by providing comprehensible directions, New Deal Design's 'Scrip' device acts as a convenient and intuitive replacement for cash or credit options.
Some other October 2016 gadgets to take note of include the 'Sound by Human' ear cup headphones which feature a personalized, comfortable and ergonomic design that forms comfortably over users' ears.
Additional standouts include personal care innovations like massage therapy hairbrushes and even social media-inspired sunglasses that can both capture and share photographs without skipping out on style in the process. This is the case with Snapchat Spectacles -- the social channel's fun accessory concept that is sure to be a hit among loyal users if released.
