I\u2019ve been following \u00a0the speakers and \u00a0exhibitors closely on social media for some months now and here are my predictions for this year’s event.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t want to miss this.<\/p>\n

Virtual reality is the next big thing. It features the user \u00a0having a simulated illusion of a different reality. \u00a0In short you\u2019re In Accra but the glasses makes you see Kumasi as though you\u2019re there in person.<\/h2>\n

These bamboo bikes have been around for some time. The metallic frame of the typical bicycle is replaced\u00a0with local bamboo\u00a0branches. This bicycle model\u00a0 has sold all\u00a0across\u00a0the world and you wouldn\u2019t want to miss it.<\/h2>\n

The company that made the Bamboo bikes will be\u00a0exhibiting\u00a0their bamboo mobile phone speakers. They managed to amplify the sound of phone speakers with bamboo branches and no electronics.<\/h2>\n

Besides planes, birds and witches, there is an autonomous machine called a\u00a0drone that flies. Usually\u00a0quad propelled, light weight and remote\u00a0controlled. Some models have a camera attached to them for aerial cinematography.<\/h2>\n
