Money doesn’t buy happiness, that’s true. But it can buy some of the most amazing high-tech gadgets out there and that might make you quite happy in an entirely different way. If you’re looking to impress, have some fun or just work smarter, read on for some high-tech ideas.
Two-man submarine
A yacht may be the ultimate status symbol, but take that luxury status to new depths with a two-man submarine.
The Dragon by DeepFlight can be piloted with minimal training and no license. Imagine dropping to 400 feet underwater and taking in amazing reefs, sea life, shipwrecks and more. The max speed is only 4 knots (4.6 mph), but with anything faster you wouldn’t be able to view the sea life.
Using a lithium battery, the sub lasts five to eight hours underwater on one charge. Cost includes shipping, training and installation. $1.5-million
Blade 262-inch TV
If you’re looking for the ultimate indoor viewing experience, whether it’s for an indoor theater or just watching your favorite team up close on game day, upgrade to C Seed’s 262-inch Blade lounge TV. This television is a 4K widescreen model complete with six integrated speakers, state-of-the-art HDR processing supported by 16-bit grayscale processing and carries up to four high-end coaxial speakers and two subwoofers in its soundbar. $539,000
Emperor LX Workstation
Working from home never looked so good. For the ultimate in luxury and functionality, the Emperor LX is the future of high-end home and office computer work environments. Designed by Canada’s MWE Lab, this futuristic workspace has a scorpion shape and outline, industrial-grade steel structure, tilting capabilities, integrated audio system, LED lighting, holds up to six monitors, ionic air filtering system and is touchscreen controlled.
All this, with an ergonomically styled seat, makes it not only futuristic but functional and space-age in appearance. Prices start at $21,000.
Tranquility Pod
When modern life becomes a bit too much, Hammacher Schlemmer’s Tranquility Pod may help you reduce stress and break away from it all, even if it’s just for 15 to 30 minutes. Or heck, stay in there as long as you like.
The fiberglass pod, which looks like a slick egg-shaped space bed, blocks up to 90% of outside noise. Inside, a built-in subwoofer creates gentle vibrations creating sweet relaxation. $30,000
