As the Magic Kingdom shows, the world of tomorrow is just around the corner. Here are a few cool new things to keep a look out for (with some eye candy to boot).

Auto DoorTired of opening doors or using automatic doors that open way too wide? With the new Auto Door you don’t have to! The Tanaka Auto Door uses strips equipped with infrared sensors that open to the approximate shape of the person or object passing through, minimizing entry of dust, pollen, and bugs while keeping precious air-conditioning in. It even works for your pets! Check out the video.

iPod NanoIs that iPod Mini too big for you? Then you need to get yourself an iPod Nano! At a size 62% smaller than the iPod Mini, it’s smaller than a standard business card and just a little thicker. With the 2gig and 4gig models, you can take 500 or 1,000 songs with you anywhere you go. Where is this all headed you might ask? The iPod Flea! (via Alex)

Wolfram ToneBut with this new iPod Nano, what are you going to put on it? Tired of those same old beats on the radio? Try out Wolfram Tones! With a mixture of musical knowledge and mathematics, it can instantly create unique music. Give it a listen!
