4D visited this years Gadget Show Live exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC.
So whats hot in the world of consumer product design? If the quantity of exhibitors is anything to go by, the public wants;
- Smart phone & tablet cases / accessory’s
- Speakers systems
- Low cost tablets
- Gaming PCs
- Robots & Flying machines
Expanding a smart phones camera functionality is also popular, not surprising given the rapid increase in quality available from the better phones.
Welcome to Birmingham!

Very clever camera stabilizer for iphone. Lots of accessory’s are utilising the phones great camera quality.
A Makerbot. I was expecting to see more 3D printers, given all their recent press.
