From gender-based ‘sexcereal’ that claims to enhance your sexual health to 3D printers that can print edible food, Mintel Group outlined some of the most interesting new products in retail at the NRF conference in New York.

Lit Motors have designed a two wheeled vehicle that is a combination of a car and a motorbike

1) 3D-printed food:

NASA is developing 3D printers that can print food for astronauts. In the future, such technology could be used to create food specifically for individual consumers with food allergies. This fulfils a growing consumer demand for customisation, according to Lynn Dornblaser, director of innovation and insight at Mintel Group.

2) Sexcereal:

Another example of customisation, this GMO-free gender-based breakfast cereal is formulated by a team of nutrition and quality-control professionals. The company behind it claims the cereal helps enhance consumer’s sexual health.

3) Scent enhancing chewing gum:

After 20 minutes of chewing the breath-freshening gum from Japan’s Kracie Foods, it leaves a rose scent on the chewer’s skin, masking the smell of anything unpleasant they’ve eaten such as garlic. “Japan has probably some of the most unique products we’ve ever seen,” Dornblaser said.

4) Samsung Galaxy Gear:

Smartwatches are big news. Samsung’s Galaxy Gear connects to a phone and performs many of the functions a smartphone manages. Dornblaser said: “It’s the first of its kind, and it’s only the beginning”.

5) Garmin HUD (Heads Up Display):

The navigation display beams onto driver’s windshields in an effort to simplify GPS while driving. It uses the driver’s smartphone and mimics other wearable technology such as Google Glass.

6) Tile ‘Lost and Found’:

A small square device you attach to any item, such as a laptop, keys or bag, to help you find them when they’re missing. It uses cloud computing to track what you’ve lost, and if another user’s tile is within a certain distance of your lost item, you get notified via the app.

7) LIT Motors:

This San Francisco-based start-up has designed fully electric, gyroscopically stabilized two-wheeler vehicles. Think of it as a cross between a motorbike and a car, with two wheels and a seat enclosed with a roof.
