If you don't mind a curious-looking flying balloon stalking you on your next vacation, consider the Total Recall Agent by designers Shohei Nakamura, MoonHwan Lee, and YoungWook Jung of South Korea and Japan.

The balloon--another winner of a judge's special award--records travelers' activities, using cloud-computing technology to make sure everyone back home knows what the globe-trotters are up to. The design also includes travel guide functionality. And we thought bright-colored tracksuits made tourists stand out.
