Video Doorbell

This goes one step further than the door opener, and allows you to see who is at your door through a video camera that is attached to the door bell. This is a great way to add security to your home, as you only have to let in people that you trust. But there is also the added bonus of a remote control that you can use to unlock the door without ever having to leave your seat.

The Low Line -- New York

Pitched in the wake of the High Line’s incredible success, the Low Line calls for turning an unused station at Delancey into a subterranean park, lit by natural sunlight “pumped in” via fiberoptic cables and mirrors. Currently, project leaders including architect James Ramsey of RAAD Studios and Dan Barasch, are working on gaining access to the site, after a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2012 that raised over $150.000.

Musical Subways -- New York

Last year, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy proposed turning the subway into a musical instrument of sorts, where turnstiles would create different notes. "There would be a thing that would make a beep of a certain note," he told The Verge, adding that it would generate a random note based on a percentage to "hopefully make a really beautiful piece of music." So far, it hasn’t come to fruition. New York I love you, but you’re bringing me down. Photo courtesy mecredis, Creative Commons.
