Sound effect hinges. There are hinges that squeak or creak or sound like Chewbacca so it must be possible to precision-engineer them with custom sounds. For example you could have a toilet seat that sounds like Liam Neeson saying "release the kraken" whenever you lift it.

Condoms that change colors if they detect an STD. I think I stole this from Facebook.

I had an idea for condoms that would selectively allow sperm cells through based on the presence or absence of certain genetic markers. Basically GATTACA without the messy business of doing a bunch of in-vitro fertilization and then implanting the desired embryo.

You could buy different types of condoms based on what sort of child you wanted to have. "Rock Star" condoms, "Olympian" condoms, "Genius" condoms, etc.

A camera-drone with a wireless connection to a pair of 3D VR-goggles. The drone will provide stereoscopic 3D vision (and bonus features like infrared mode, for example) from a third person perspective. It will try to hover above and behind you facing forward at all times.

Some guys tried this with a truck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIRUavithF8

Turns out it's more difficult than it seems in video games.

A circular Etch-a-Sketch that works on polar coordinates instead of rectangular.

Poutine, except with turkey stuffing instead of french fries.

Load up a quadrotor with some software so it will automatically follow you around, and then pipe its video feed into an Oculus Rift.

Bam, real-life third person view.

Screening of silent films with live foley artists (making sound effects) as well as orchestra.

I would pay to see a silent movie with the soundtrack being done by one of these:

A video game like Amnesia where there's a sanity mechanic, but it's hooked to a Kinect or something and the sanity of your character is based on how freaked out you are irl.
