These are all exhibits at this year's Tech Open Air in Berlin where the theme is technology that puts humans at the centre. STORYLINE:This is \"Tech Open Air\" an annual technology festival in the German capital Berlin that draws around 20,000 visitors.The festival has been running for six years and is considered one of the most influential events in the city.It is the place where start-up founders, investors, and media can get a feel for the next big thing.Last year the trend was augmented and virtual reality.This year the trend is all about health and putting humans at the centre of technological advancements.An example is this robotic mirror.At first glance it might just look strange, why would anyone need a mirror that constantly moves?But the robot tracks the sun and reflects the light to spots indoors.So instead of using a lamp for a dark corner, you can put Caia, as the robot is called, near a window and tell it where the light should be reflected.Caia will simply then move with the sun to send the light in that direction.As an added bonus the robot is solar powered, so it never requires electricity.Caia, created by the Los Angeles-based Solenica, is currently available for pre-order on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo for 229 dollars. So far the Indiegogo campaign has raised more than half a million dollars.\"The point here is that when sunlight is available you should be exposed to it,\" says Diva Tommei, CEO of Solenica and inventor of Caia\"Because as a human being we are hard-wired biologically for that. And so our clocks and everything biologically speaking works with sunlight. And so it is important that you have access to it even when you are working or living indoors.\"Another invention that uses light is the Lumind, a desktop light for people with diabetics.The idea is to show a light that reflects the patient's current blood sugar levels.When it shows blue the sugar is too high, red means that it's too low and green shows that the levels are good.Practically, the light connects through WiFi to a smartphone that in turn connects to the glucose meters via Bluetooth.Because it is WiFi connected, it could be placed anywhere in the world. So a grandmother in Australia could have the light in her kitchen that is connected to her diabetic grandson's device in Europe.It gives friends and family an easier way to keep track of the disease, instead of constantly asking how the levels are just at that moment.The device is still at the prototype stage. There are also plans to develop a watch or a necklace with the same light.Kevin Roehl, a 26-year old Berliner, who himself has Type 1 diabetes says he wanted to make something positive out of the disease.\"I just wanted to make something nice to remind me of my sickness. Something that brings a bit of light into this dark sickness.\"Many medicines, such as insulin, need to be kept cool, or at least at room temperature.That can be a challenge in some parts of the world with a hot climate and a lack of electricity.A solution to that problem could be Coolar, a fridge that does not use electricity.Instead, the Coolar fridge uses what's called an \"absorption cooling cycle\" technology, a way to use hot water for refrigeration.The technology is not new, but Coolar is hoping to make it easy to use and compact enough for the fridges to be used throughout the world.In particular, vaccines are often destroyed because of a lack of cooling, says, Christoph Goeller, Head of Business development for Coolar.\"For us, at home, a fridge is not a problem. It is just there and we don't have to worry about it not working,\" he says.\"But 1.2 billion people in the world have no secure access to electricity. And just exactly in those places cooling is critical, when for example when medicine or vaccinations have to be cooled.\"The Berlin-based Coolar is still developing a range of products, prices for the different sized fridges have not been set yet.Israeli company Orcam is showing a small camera that can be attached to any pair of glasses.The camera is connected to a small speaker, and with artificial intelligence and gesture detection the device can read a text and recognise faces.The idea is simple -  people with reduced vision that have problem reading texts can simply point at the text and have it read to them.The Orcam camera is connected to a small box with a battery through a cable. The box easily fits in a pocket and gives 4-5 hours of active use or 12 hours of standby use.The product is already available, but it doesn't come cheap, in Europe, it is selling for 3,900 euros.\"It is a breakthrough in assistive technology for people who until now have not had this need addressed,\" says Eliav Rodman, Director of Marketing for Orcam.The four-day Tech Open Air features some 200 speakers from all around the world.Originally held outdoors, it is now held in an old radio building in the east of the city.Nico Woischnik, Founder of the festival, agrees that the trend this year is the focus of humans in the centre of technology.\"Looking through the programme I think there is one thing that a lot of our speakers have in common. And that is, they work on things that where they put human at the centre of technological development. Which is why you will see a few health tech companies, you will see you know agriculture tech companies. There are a lot of companies in the space of mindfulness etcetera, that really put human first.\"Tech Open Air opened with an evening event on July 11 and runs through July 14 2017.Berlin -12 July 20171.
