Kickstarter is great fund raising platform that has brought to life amazing projects. From literature, to movies and games, Kickstarter has projects for almost every aspect. Today we’ve put together a list of five technology themed projects that we believe are worth checking out and maybe funding them.
1. Knocki: Make Any Surface Smart
This is my personal favorite and I think that you should definitely consider funding this project if you want to make your life a little bit more…effortless.
“Knocki is a small wireless device that instantly transforms ordinary surfaces (walls, tables, doors, furniture, counter-tops, & more) into powerful yet easy to access remotes for your favorite devices and software. With Knocki attached to a surface, the entire surface transforms into a touch interface.”
With Knocki you can send messages, open the lights or the TV, start the coffee maker and many more by just tapping on to furniture where Knocki is attached. It literally transforms the surfaces of your home into touch surfaces for your convenience.

2. 101Hero : The World’s First US$49 3D Printer
3D printing has been gaining momentum the last few months with more and more people showing their interest in 3D printed material. There is one problem with 3D printers though, their cost! The cheapest 3D printer in the market is still too expensive for the majority of the public to buy and use. That’s where 101Hero steps in. They want to create a 3D printer that is simple, easy to use and of course affordable.

3. Nura: Headphones that learn and adapt to your unique hearing
“Headphones with in-ear and over-ear design that automatically tune to your unique hearing profile in 30sec. Hear and feel every note.”
If you enjoy listening to music through your favorite headphones (who doesn’t?), Nura is here to offer you something even better. Their goal is to create self-learning headphones that learn how you like to listen to music and adapt appropriately. It’s a very interesting project for music lovers and I can’t way to see it come to life.

4. GeoOrbital Wheel | Make your bike electric in 60 seconds
This is a project for all you cyclists out there. It involves great engineering combined with futuristic design.
“The Patent Pending GeoOrbital wheel is an evolution of the orbital wheel (the wheels on the TRON Motorcycles). The GeoOrbital wheel replaces a standard bicycle front wheel to turn your bike into a powerful electric bike in under 60 seconds.
The GeoOrbital wheel is by far the easiest way to add electric power to your bike. The only part that isn’t in the wheel itself is a simple thumb activated throttle, which is easily clipped onto your handlebar.”

5. Aurai-The World’s 1st Cool/Warm Water-propelled Eye Massager
Technology plays a big part in our modern lives. Most of us spend hours each day in front of a screen either for fun or for our work interest. Aurai promises to help your eyes relax after a long day encountering technology. It’s basically a headset or mask (call it whatever you want) that uses a special technology to massage your eyes and help you relax. It’s really worth spending money on if you spend more than a few hours in front of a screen.
