"The soccer ball actually has inside of it a tri-axial accelerometer and some sensors that's able to pick up on the speed, the flight-path, the rotation or the spin and give an almost instantaneous feedback through the companion app on how you did with your kick," said Adidas spokeswoman Vinti Bhatnagar.
The smart ball called miCoach Smart Soccer is already available online for about $200.
Another smart device called Skulpit Chisel can measure up to 24 individual muscles in human body.
"It's the first device that lets you measure your fat content and your muscle quality so you could see how much fat you're losing and how much muscle you're gaining and how you're getting stronger," said CEO of Skulpit, Jose Bohorquez.
Virtual reality is also getting more affordable as well as mobile. A simple device called Weareality can turn any smartphone into virtual reality goggles.
"Now that we're seeing the phones double in performance every year what we're going to see is all this technology is going to be mobile and something you carry around with you," said David Smith of Weareality.
And this is only a preview of what we can expect to see at the world's biggest Consumer Electronics Show, early January in Las Vegas.
