first comment!
LoL
It's gonna be fun
Lol
weirdly by far the most futuristic thing imo was the ruler, although at first it may seem underwhelming, the potential and the many tricks up its sleeves it has is astounding.
Agreed
It’s very niched but definitely the most useful one by far.
The robot wasn't bad either, but unless you reenact home alone 3 it's not very practical. On the other hand it can carry you so ....
Wow that's bars you're spitting
Ruler needed a laser measure and leveling devices otherwise its just a glorified Vernier caliper with a calculator built in
the directional speaker would be really cool for walking through an exhibition space or something, imagine an art gallery where each painting had its own targeted soundtrack
I actually know of artists who have used tnis! I am an art student and quite a few of my teacher use sound lasers and we can actually borrow one from school!! It’s really cool:)
or listening to the sound from your phone in public.
@@IknowWhatIbelieveget sterio headphones
ive seen it in museums before
@@veerpontwhatt? i am art school student too. I got to CCS. which school is doing that? and do you know where they get them?? that’s so cool.
The only futuristic item is his sweater, survived at 1% for the whole recording. Very durable battery.
I dont know why but this comment is awesome
@@LaserManudel I agree
imagine if it died and he just became naked on screen 😂
In Japan, self sharpening mechanical pencil is a common product. You can buy it for under $3. The more expensive version, which costs around $20 not only sharpens the tip, but also prevents the tip of the lead from breaking, and automatically pulls out the lead you have used. You’ll never have to worry about knocking nor breaking your lead from excessive pressure.
Can you please suggest some brands? One for the cheap one and one for the expensive one, i would be super grateful!!
@@letiziaciancarini3804the cheap one would be the Kurutoga, self-sharpening mechanical pencil, and the expensive one would be Orenz nero, the one that sharpens and prevents lead breaking
@@letiziaciancarini3804 The Kuru Toga made by Uni is the premium one he's referring to. I love mine. If you get the proper lead for it it writes smoother than a ballpoint.
Hello I am from France and as long as I remember when I was in Middle school in the 90's school were already asking parents to buy them, and 2 extra for art class. We called it " crayon portemines " it could translate as "pencil carrying pencil lead " 😂 we also had number for the strenght of the stroke. 0.5mm and 0.7mm being very popular
no, for the kurutoga dive, it is now $34 in rate, + we can’t buy easily it’s rare as a old PS5
If this is what is called futuristic, I'm pretty damn excited about the future! Also kudos to Arun for emptying his wallet for content.
Given how nice his house is I'm pretty sure this was nowhere near emptying his wallet.
I'M VERY SCARED OF THE FUTURE 😭
@impalse there 8s a thing called sponsor
he made much more just for uploading this video lmao
Ho
I've noticed that your videos are getting longer gradually and I'm actually surprised that how consistent the quality of the content remains throughout the video, great work by you and your team
I love how this video is longer.....
I could honestly watch his videos for hours straight.
yeah, its crazy how people have such a good upload schedule and have rlly good editing

Great vid! As always, during last Christmas, I received a smart AirTag wallet as a gift. You should add it to the video as well, haha! It's helped me find my wallet twice already.
Actually, that makes sense do you have any advice for a high quality wallet? I need to replace my BF wallet it's so old and torn..
Vionentus wallet I'm really happy with its quality
Found them! I like their designs, which one did you get?
I have the VN100 I hope its helped you
Yea just ordered two, Thank you again!
Wow, that was a really fun surprise to see our Morf Strap in one of your videos! :D Thank you for showing us some new use cases, always fun to see what people come up with!
ok, now make it run doom
I actually worked for a company that did contract design work for that rideable suitcase. The issues ended up being exactly what you said - too expensive, too heavy, limited use case, and cramming the tech into a size that was usable suitcase left a tiny capacity. It was a really cool idea though and it was fun to ride around the office on it on casual Fridays.
That’s really cool lol
@@TD75 it's true, but still... it's kinda comical just riding around in a suitcase-scooter hybrid
KNew someone that bought for their grandpa 😊 super cute and fun to ride
That’s cool . Do you think with some corrections this suitcase tech will evolve to practice level in future ?
I just watched a 38 mins video and i literally didn't even get bored for a single second. Kudos to Arun for keeping these videos engaging 😊
i did not realize it was 38 min until you mentioned it.
How did I not realize this was a 38 minute video 😭
I hadn't noticed 😅
yeah i like the short videos he makes
IT WAS 38 MINUTES LONG???
I have to say, it is very refreshing to watch videos made by someone who is so well spoken………..I could listen to his voice for hours, very pleasant on the ear

Pretty interesting to see all this tech. I like how constructive you’re with the feedback on imperfections. Because tech is advancing every time, and sometimes I think people don’t see a dangerous potential of it. Like replacing human jobs, connection, and real life. I hope more companies will purpose the creation more to helping rather than entertaining.
I never have the patience to watch videos over 30 mins long, but this one kept me captivated from start to finish, love the channel Arun!
That ruler is insane. I'm a Handyman and when you showed me $130 ruler I thought how stupid of an idea... Then you showed me everything it can do.. if they made a yard stick variant, I could guarantee so many Handymen would be able to make great use of all those features it includes 😮
Depends how durable it is. Id rather see the same tech in a tape measure.
It's way too complicated and fragile for trade use! The perfect trade tool is a laser pointing tool, potentially with small pads that can be placed for accuracy. The pointer sends all data to your phone and an app would allow you to calculate anything you want in any format.
Just get a caliper ? What's the point of something being 0.1mm accurate if you have to "aim" by hand and sight anyway. If you need that level of accuracy, get a caliper, if you don't just use a ruler, or a laser.
I think one with size changing tech would be better. By that I mean it's all compacted into th3 current size but obviously a little more girthy because you can then grab it and with a controlled method extend it to a set size option.
This video has to be the best I've ever seen this year. Super nice in every way.❤️
For aviation flight planning I can actually see that ruler being super useful, being able to set the scale of the maps you’re using is pretty nice
The ruler is so weirdly cool, it had me sold at the ability to show you exactly even chunks of something.
Same
Yes, that was a surprising feature and the only usable product. The more expensive it got, the more weird and nonsense was it!
Just randomly came across this video. I am an ex-television production manager. And as such, I am absolutely amazed at the production values in this video. Not even talking about the interesting content or MrBoss, just what went in to what we see in the video. Incredible. Stunning. I do not sub to many channels and I am very picky, but this one def gets the Bell Sub! Props.
That’s a very long way of saying “these videos are amazing!🤩I am very surprised”
I think its all of the really good camera shots. The zooms and pans are top notch, the lighting and background choices are great too.

Man, your videos are so entertaining. It’s like watching a well constructed TV show instead of a RUclips video. You’re basically the James Cameron of RUclips when it comes to your commitment to excellence.
Jesus loves you he died for everyone's sins, he is coming soon, if you want to receive Jesus as the lord and savior of your life say this and believe in your heart, say: Jesus today I accept you as the lord of my life come in my life I believe that you are the Son of GOD and that you died for my sins and that you rose up on the third day, thank you that I am now a child of GOD and that my sins are forgiven amen.

The NeoRuler's biggest target is CAD software, specifically for CNC or 3d printing. Makes it a lot easier
As someone in the ME field, I will be ordering one ASAP.

This was THE BEST Mrwhosetheboss video. Absolutely nailed it.The futuristic products,funny bits and spot on editing along with very realistic review.Excellent work.
Speaking of editing, I wonder how many people noticed Mr Bean’s face in the ferrofluid speaker 🤣
Almost 40 minutes and I wish it was longer. Now that's the way to make a video. Straight to the point and small fun segments in between! Great work Arun!
Appreciate you!
I always appreciate the puns, in all the videos. I feel so silly but I always get a great laugh 😅😂
The editor having fun editing the video. Your editor needs a raise Arun. 😂
It's impressive how Arun manages to keep his viewers engaged for almost 40 minutes straight! Phenomenal content!!
It's true very true
I did not even notice it was 40 minutes until I read this.
Only if i didnt have to stop it and go out

@@davidsworld5837 True.
Idk if it’s the edits, or quality in content, but man this dude doesn’t miss. I have so much fun watching these tech videos 🤘🏼
Aside from the high value, the old man smiling accompanied with crescendo had me rolling.
20:06 it has already been added to glasses atleast now, they are called the TCL rayneo x2 glasses, they might be out to buy now.
There’s something about a product that follows you around like a suitcase in my opinion. At this point it doesn’t look very practical but now I kind of want a pet suitcase.
13:10 the worst shoe to wear when your hanging out with that one friend that likes to step on the back of your shoe
😂 true
I see the unidirectional speakers very useful in museums and expositions. Like you can hear the guide only while in front of the respective section.
The race towards the end was hilarious, this might be your best video yet
When I fist saw the invisibility shield, I was blown away. ...Until I realized that it's just made of those prismatic sheets they use in LCD/TFT screens to scatter the backlight. One layer will move the light 30 degrees to the right, another, 15 degrees to the left. etc, etc.
I tore apart an early TFT screen once that had 8 layers of that stuff to it.
They are little more that a glorified Fresnel lens. Just plastic sheets with grooves cut into them. Somebody just figured out how to market the technology in a unique way. But I will still give them credit for that.
What I love about these videos is that they're so engaging that it does not matter if they are 10 minutes or 40, they always go by quickly and smoothly when watching. Great job as always Arun!
Unless your internet sucks!
I also have videos on such interesting topics, please come and watch them.
*and his editor team
Yes, it's suddenly 4am...
I will say, this tech review has been the most captivating, engaging, and greatest in production value I have seen in a while. Well done. Let's beat apple!
15:48 good way of talking and syncing with what is happening in the clip like in the (Invisibility Shield Co.)'s advertisment and this video thing together
Found your channel via this video and it did not disappoint!:)
I just need to say that I feel like the editing of your videos is just top notch. A lot of channels do this meme sounds and clips thing and sometimes, it isn't really funny or sometimes even just annoying. But I genuinely laughed so hard at some points in this video. Props to the editors!
18:03 - "Ain't that a nutty question?"
Perhaps, but i wanted to hear the nutty answer 😂
This video is mesmerizing even more as each second passes by.
Focus sound directional speaker has been around since the early 2000's. Not surprised it still is yet to be available in masses for the general public.
Absolutely one of my favourite episodes, Arun. Phenomenal selection!
I couldn't agree more.
In 2001 I visited the MIT media lab and I heard this fascinating story. They always admit students who have really interesting ideas and let them work on them, but also always admit a few students with crazy ideas, because it turns out they learn just as much from failed experiments. One of these was a guy who had the idea to use ultrasound to encapsulate the sound from a speaker, to everyone's surprise he actually made it work, and he got funding from, among others, Lockheed who saw potential savings on headphones on airplanes (think directed light, AC and sound from above). Since the Focusound i said to be developed in China, it might not be the same, but I suspect that the technology is similar.
It's a long time since I read something as interesting in youtube comments as your comment. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder what they would say about my crazy inventions : D sadly, I'm not technical person and smart just enough to know that my idea is probably impossible and that's why it doesn't exist :D. My idea was "warmth in a can". If you can spray sth into the air to make it smell like lemon, why can't you spray the air to make it warm. Like let's say there's emergency, you are in the tent on mount everest, but you have "warmth in a can" you spray and the air in the tent gets comfy as hell, just as long as someone cames to save you. : D I would love an answer why that's completely impossible, why even is possible the warmth would last just seconds because it would be overpowered by a force that made the air cold in the first place. I know it's crazy. : D
@@michakowalski2930 Thank you for reading!
@@michakowalski2930Warmth is either produced by friction or chemical reactions.
So the sun or a space heater radiate infrared radiation, which energises the molecules in your skin. Energy is basically movement of particles so the more energised the particles are, the more they move, thus the hotter it gets. Particles you spray in the air can't radiate infrared radiation (or any radiation for that matter, like microwaves), so that's not going to happen. Your best bet would be to create some form of chemical reaction to heat the surrounding air, but I know of no such reaction that would yield any meaningful amount of energy and is safe for you.
If there was a way to create warmth from spraying some particles in the air, it would be expensive, inefficient, impractical and unhealthy.
It is simply easier to carry pocket warmers and maybe a space heater.
@michakowalski2930 Not an expert either, but you could probably just use that "hairspray flamethrower" technique to make a can of warmth (it would technically work because it would set your tent on fire)

As someone who has been into Japanese stationary as a hobby for almost 10 years now, I can assure you that the uni-ball Kuru Toga is one of, if not the best mechanical pencil in the world. If you like writing with it then I would highly suggest upgrading to the Kuru Toga Advanced. It’s has a similar mechanism but rotates the lead twice as fast so the tip is always even and smooth. Also comes in an all metal body instead of just plastic. It has more weight which makes writing with it more balanced. That’s just the beginning though. I can give suggestions for days. Haha…
I love this guy. The host, "ARUN", is one of the most likable guys I've seen on the Internet today. Kudos is right! I was genuinely giggly when I was able to 'like and subscribe' to this! I would really love to meet ARUN one day. I happen to be disabled and paralyzed so it's not like I'll be running off to find him but one day maybe he'll grant my wish, who knows.
The amount of brand deals this video's going to generate, is going to be crazy! Absolutely genius!

The autofollowing suitcase seems like the most FUN gadget of it all. I especially like the function of idling when it searches for the wristband. Imagine the airport filled with 50 of these just doing donuts to find their daddy.... Other question: How individual is the connection between your suitcase and the wristband? Imagine strolling through the airport only to find 8 suitcases that followed you to your gate :D
probably it would be considered a threat and dangerous, and of course confiscated. My feeling it will get you more trouble than a normal suitcase 😂

You got the like just for the RULER WARS graphic. High quality content bro.
That ruler is awesome and now my new need..its a caliper, ruler, scaler and lazer level. Great all in one product thats actually eye catching and useful
26:27 Whatever you do, don't break the brake! 😉 Poking fun at a silly typo aside, this kinda reminded me of Clarkson and Hammond at the airport racing around on their "suitcases" 🤣
Those translator earbuds were probably the best and most practical one out of anything. Would love to see that piece of tech get improved and expanded upon more...
Mrwhosetheboss is blessing you all the time your video are getting more views God is good ❤
24:34 even better if it had a display enhancer instead of simple transparent glass so that you can adjust your mobile screen on the back of the glass and watch a movie with a speaker that only you can listen to. Sometimes watching a movie with earbuds or headphones on doesn't give you a feeling of comfort.
I'm an instructor pilot in helicopters. My client a couple of weeks ago had the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and was using them to film some of our flying. The quality of the videos is surprisingly good, but the major downside is that they only record for 30 seconds at a time. So when he was trying to record something like an autorotation (landing with a simulated engine failure), it would get the first bit, but stop recording before we actually got to the ground, which was disappointing since that was really what he wanted to see.

Great video, watched it all. Greatly appreciate that he didn't rush through the products, we actually got to see the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Made the 30+ minutes fly by. The only thing I'd change/like to see is a much more extensive review of the transparent TV, with a bunch of test videos to see how it handles color and blacks.

Can’t help imagining you at the back in a car watching TV on your phone tied to the driver’s seat but it’s also around his neck😂
I really like the future learning about it, so I just love this video
The ruler is the single best and most useful thing on this list. When I think of what the future is supposed to be like, I think of practicality first. All the other stuff that is not practical is gimmicky in one way or another and doesn't have the same potential as something that changes how you live your daily life.
The 3D screens could change your life a fair bit.
@@MiTheMer The 3D screen was probably my favourite, but in terms of everyday use, the ruler is definitely the most useful.
I draw and that ruler would be so cool to use! I'm tired of eyeballing measurements to get them wrong everytime
Caliper!! AAAAAAA
I know you have said you were super shy when you were younger. You are so easy going right now, it makes your videos really relaxing and fun to watch. It's like hanging out with a buddy. I like how you keep some slips in your video.
The editing was great and funny at times, gadgets were great.
I loved the suitcase which becomes a scooter. I wish they combined the functions of the scooter and the suitcase which follows you.
The effort Arun puts in making his videos manifest in the quality. Amazing, keep grinding!!
That ruler would be perfect for guitar techs and luthiers. Things like string spacing when carving a nut or installing a bridge.
The fact the remote that Arun uses on a triple digit price range led is the same one as the type I use on my 20 dollar leds is hilarious 😂😂
