The 2022 World Internet Conference just closed on Nov.11 in Wuzhen, Zhejiang. People have seen lots of cool technology (科技) there. What are they? Let’s take a look.

A smart helmet (头盔)

When delivery (快递) people send food around, they often use their phones while riding. It’s very dangerous. To be safer, China’s food delivery company Ele.me (饿了么) has made a new helmet. It connects (连接) with the telephone and can “talk” — it tells the delivery people new orders and the locations (位置). The delivery people can also take orders and answer messages by talking to the helmet. If the wearer has an accident (事故), the helmet can also make a call for help right away!

Type (打字) with eyes

Many disabled (残疾的) people cannot move their hands. They find it hard to type on a computer. China’s tech company Tencent (腾讯) showed eye-controlling technology. By looking at the screen and moving their eyes, people can type words easily.

A business card? A computer!

If you see a device (设备) in the size of a business card, don’t get it wrong. It’s a computer! It’s called Raspberry Pi. It’s the world’s smallest computer. Although it only costs a few hundred yuan, it has a memory of 8G and can do a lot of difficult calculations (计算). You can also use it to learn some simple coding (编程) and create your own computer games.

Magic Mirror for health

Scan (扫描) your face, and then the app will know a lot about your health. This is what “Magic Mirror” can do. It’s an AI health check system (人工智能健康识别系统). You don’t need to wear any devices. Just standing in front of it for 30 seconds is enough.

15. Why did Ele.me make a new helmet for delivery people?
