At the 'Tech World' event in Beijing yesterday, Chinese tech-giant Lenovo unveiled a number of products including new laptops, new media streaming device, tablet for businesses. It also unveiled a number of "concept" devices and one of the most interesting was a pair of 'smart-shoe.'

The smart-shoes display a person's mood on a little screen embedded on one side of the footwear. It also serves to track fitness data, i.e., calorie consumption and heartbeat.

However, it's not yet time to get excited about the product though, as it's just a concept and might not make to market ever.

Among other interesting 'concept' devices, the company also unveiled a new "Smart Cast" smartphone that sports a built-in laser projector, and infrared motion detector. With the help of this device users can project a huge virtual touchscreen onto a flat surface and interact with it.

The company also demoed new "Magic View" smartwatch which it calls the "first step in the journey to making smartwatches more usable." The new smartwatch sports two screens, the first one is normal, the second one sports a virtual interactive display. Using optical reflection, it creates a display that's more than 20 times bigger the main screen, according to Lenovo, with the user gazing through a viewfinder below the main watch face. In terms of use-cases, this could be to follow directions on a map or watch a video, Venture Beat reported.
