There have been balls made of various materials, like crystals, that tell you the future, your past and things of the present that you didn’t know. Mankind has taken a step closer towards realizing this fantasy in reality. Though it doesn’t really have all the attributes of the foresaid magic ball, the Body Check Ball is quite useful. It has a LCD that displays vital information such as your bone density, amount of body fat and muscle ratio. All you have to do is hold the ball in the palms of both hands. This is done by a pair of electrodes that detect your health stats by passing signals through your palms.

The Body Check Ball costs $39. It has up to 10 user profiles that store past measurements of up to 10 people. So dump the weighing scale and switch to something more useful.
