- Anti-spice: Never miss your favorite meal again!
How
many times have you missed the opportunity to order a delicious spicy
meal because someone from your group does not eat anything spicy? This
is usually the case for families that have children with them because
most children do not eat spicy food. I, for one, have low tolerance on
spicy food and I do not want others to miss out the meals they would
like to try because of me.
It
is difficult for us too; food lovers like me who have low tolerance in
spicy food, because there are countless enticing food in menus that look
and sound scrumptious. However, due to our weakness in spice, we are
too afraid to try them or enjoy them because we cannot control the level
of spiciness even when requested to the restaurant.
These
gave me the idea of an anti-spice product. By adding this anti-spice to
the designated plate, groups can now order spicy food without worrying
that one of them would not be able to eat and food lovers like me can
now also order any spicy dish and adjust the spiciness through the
amount of anti-spice we will put on our serving. 3

DIY bangs (haircut kit)
Bangs
are very popular among girls. It is a staple hairstyle and will hardly
go out of style. It may look like an easy fix, but the truth is, it is
very hard to maintain. It is even harder to maintain than the normal
haircut because it always has to be at the right length. If not
maintained, it will give a different look. With this high-maintenance
characteristic, girls need to spend time and money to go to the salon
and have it maintained.
Because
of this need and high demand, a DIY haircut kit for bangs should be
sold. This kit will include a pair of scissors specially designed to cut
and style bangs and another tool (similar to a ruler but with an angle)
that will be used as a pattern to provide the user a clear guide on the
length of hair to cut on a certain area. This tool will also have a
clip on its other side to hold the bangs when held up. I noticed that
when my bangs are being maintained in the salon, the hairdresser chops
it off while holding it up.
This
haircut kit will come in 3 variants – 1 for full bangs, 1 for left-side
bangs, and 1 for right-side bangs. Its convenience and cheaper price
are the main benefits to the users. The interactive process is an
additional perk to the users. 4

Boat engine-powered heated rail for towel and
lifevest
The
feeling of wind brushing through your skin and the splash of cold water
are two of the most enjoyable feelings during island hopping. That is,
if you and your clothes are still dry. The feeling is exactly the
opposite when you are already on your way back. Your cold and wet
clothes are already sticking to your skin and your towel and lifevest
are also dripping because of your constant use. Making matters worse,
your towel and life vest already have that certain odor when something
does not get dried completely. The wind and the splash of water that
once had given you pleasure are now making you shiver uncomfortably and
hope that the trip back would already end.
What
if you can keep your towel and lifevest dry and warm? This can be made
possible through a boat engine-powered heated rail for towels and
lifevests. It would only cost a little for the owner of the boat because
although he has to set up the rail, the heat will come from its own
engine. Towels and lifevests of the island hoppers will be placed on
this rail when they are not being used – during swimming or tour on an
island. This extra effort and innovation would totally improve the
experience of the island hoppers. They might find this value-add
innovation worthy of a big tip or better yet, they will hire this boat
again on their next island hopping and recommend it to their friends and
contacts.3
‘Invisible’ undercover gadgets (location tracker and audio transmitter)
Human
beings have an innate need to know everything
especially those that are hidden from them. Although this need has been
answered by the creation of undercover gadgets, the risk of being
discovered is still a greater threat for amateurs (anyone who is not
affiliated with undercover jobs). This threat prevents those interested
from using these gadgets.
To
solve this problem, undercover gadgets should be designed in such a way
that their end products will only be thin transparent films that can be
glued anywhere like clothes, tables or cars. To ensure that these
gadgets will not be discovered, they should be able to auto-dissolve in a
given period.
There should also be variants of the product depending on their time
limit before they dissolve.
This
kind of products may be very difficult and expensive to produce and to
design but with the level of desperation of people, there would still be
a market that would be willing to pay just to find answers or to
confirm their suspicions.
It
is important to note though that the sale of these products should be
regulated and monitored by the business. These products can be very
dangerous if they are sold to anyone who does not actually need the
product (ex. stalkers, columnists, criminals). An investigation
department should approve the request first before closing the deal with
the buyer. 3
