    Every year, TIME magazine names the Best Inventions of the Year. Here are three of them that are interesting and creative.

    Product: Face ID Mask Inventor: Danielle Baskin User: Smart phone users

    Purpose: To unlock their phones with masks on

    Advantage: Face ID Masks show people's covered faces on regular N95 masks. With the part of face printed on it, the ID mask helps unlock people's phones. This reduces their chances of catching Covid-

    19. Also, the colours of the masks match different people's skin colours.

    Customer Review: ★★★★★

    Product: Purrble Inventor: Aaron Horowitz User: Anxious kids

    Purpose: To keep kids calm

    Advantage: This toy has seven sensors (传感器). It responds to touch. Purrble's heartbeat speeds up when you play with it. Then you can comfort Purrble by hugging it. This slows down its heartbeats. In return, it calms you, too.

    Customer Review: ★★★★★

     

    Product: Talking Eyes

    Inventor: Amnon Shashua

    User: Blind people or people with eye-sight problems

    Purpose: To read for people in need

    Advantage: Described as "talking eyes", it can match any type of glasses. It can tell faces, read text aloud and show directions. The size is friendly, too. Fitting all the needs into such a small case is like "putting an elephant in a small box".
