The T3 Awards are the year's biggest chance for tech fans to reward their favourite companies and products for a job well done.

This year's awards are coming up on October 2nd, but ahead of the show we wanted to highlight 10 nominees for the Design Innovation Award -- for which, coincidentally, we're the media partner.

So what is the Design Innovation Award?

Essentially, it's the gong given to the single concept, product or idea which emerged in 2014 and seems most to come straight from the future.

T3 describes it thus:

"It's all about how they change the way we view existing tech categories, or invent new ones. This is tomorrow's tech, today."

We couldn't be happier to be promoting this category - innovation, ideas and (frankly) weird conceptual invention is exactly what we love around these parts…

So ahead of the awards, check out the 10 most innovative products of the year below - and head over to T3 to see the rest of the nominees and awards coverage.

T3 says: "Envisioned by students at the Royal College of Arts, Gravity is a hi-tech sketching pad and pen with a twist; the acrylic pad and stylus will allow users to draw out their ideas, switch the panes and visualise it in 3D space."

A huge winner at CES 2014, this concept imagines a new type of PC you can build and customise as easily as a Lego Tower. Amazing.

This is Bluetooth NFC dock that looks like a bulldock. That's it. But if you want to live in the 2014 equivalent of Joey Tribbiani's apartment, this is the thing you need to complete the look.
