Dragon Quest Controller
Square Enix has a game called Dragon Quest Swords in 2008, which uses the Wiimote to simulate a sword.
This was not a first, as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess did that. I don’t know if that was the first time that was done, but using the Wiimote as a sword has now become a convention.
What isn’t a convention is the controller from Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory. Yes, that is a very very long name, and this is the Wii version of the controller.

Augmented Reality with Adidas Shoes
Sure, we’ve all seen augmented reality done for advertising products before, however, I’ve never really seen anything like this until today.
Remember a while ago, when it was on Coke Zero cans? Users could put their soda in front of the camera and see one of those tricked-out helicopter ships from Avatar. I believe that there was even Avatar toy action figures that could do the same thing with this technology.

Call me stupid, but I don’t know of any mobile device that can do holography, unless you are going for 2D images projected on a solid wall.

This has to be the most simple way to decoratively hang things in your home. With this you can stick with your ordinary nails, it just manages to hide the nail underneath a cute little cap.

Henri Bendel Crystal and Diamond Earbuds

It would be difficult to not have come across the several crystal covered gadgets that are available. Well if you’re just not into using something so fake like crystals, now you can pick up a set covered in diamonds. You get all that wonderful shiny goodness at well over the price of their crystal look-alikes. Sure it doesn’t upgrade the quality of sound at all, but it’s pretty.

Morning Glory Solar Powered LED Flower

Solar gadgets are usually a little more on the practical side. This one doesn’t even serve a real purpose like the solar garden lights. Instead, it’s purely decorative, but that’s plenty good enough. It’s a great modern twist for those that enjoy stained glass hanging in their windows.
