November’s here, and that means Expand NY is mere days away, people! If you’re among those unfortunate souls who have yet to buy their tickets to the show, perhaps a rundown of some of what you’ll see on the show floor will serve as sufficient enticement to join us.
Like robots? We’ve got those in spades. Carnegie Mellon’s modular snakebot will be slithering around, the da Vinci surgical system will be making its second Expand appearance and Ekso Bionics’ human exoskeleton will be there, too. If wearables are your thing, Pivothead’s glasses that record 1080p will be on hand and Avegant’s retinal display will be there to beam video directly into your eyeballs. Maybe you’re a gamer? If so, take a spin through a virtual neighborhood with Paper Dude VR, stroll around digital worlds via the Virtuix Omni VR treadmill or get your Android gaming fix courtesy of Mad Catz’s M.O.J.O. micro-console.

Aside from the (admittedly considerable) appeal of watching Robert Downey Jr. crack wise as billionaire genius-turned-superhero Tony Stark, perhaps the biggest lure of Marvel’s Iron Man movies is finding out just what kind of amazing toys and gadgets he’s built into the latest version of his high-tech armor this time around. Although such innovations as a costume that unfolds itself from a suitcase onto your body (Iron Man 2‘s “Mark V” armor) or clothes that follow you around when you wear special bracelets (Marvel’s The Avengers‘s Mark VII armor) remain the stuff of science fiction, a surprising amount of the tech on display in the Iron Man mythos has counterparts in our world, even if the reality is a bit less colorful and unlikely to help us in the case of a Chitauri invasion.
From strength-enhancing exoskeletons to repulsor rays and sentient robot sidekicks, becoming a real-life Iron Man wouldn’t be easy — and it definitely wouldn’t be cheap — but it wouldn’t be entirely outside the realm of possibility, either.
