- In the 1890s, Regina Music Boxes were the ultimate luxury item for upper-middle-class families, representing the cutting edge of mechanical engineering and entertainment technology. While exact original retail prices remain elusive, we know they were significantly cheaper than the cylinder music boxes they replaced, whose discs alone could cost more than a worker’s annual salary.
Fast forward over a century, and these treasured pieces now command impressive prices in today’s antique market. A small tabletop Regina model ranges from $1,000 to $3,000, while standard models typically sell between $2,000 and $5,000. Rare upright models, especially coin-operated ones in excellent condition, can reach $14,500 to $38,500.
What makes these prices remarkable isn’t just rarity or condition—it’s the history they tell: a time when families gathered around mechanical marvels to hear orchestral music in their living rooms.

- This afternoon, June 11th, the FIFA World Cup kicks off across the United States, Canada, and Mexico with a groundbreaking innovation: for the first time in sports history, an AI system will be watching every single player in real time across every play.
In this episode of NYC Innovates, we explore how Lenovo, FIFA's official technology partner for 2026, is deploying the largest live AI system ever used in professional sports. This isn't just about sponsorship—Lenovo is running the entire operational backbone of the tournament: the officiating technology, analytics, data infrastructure, and more across 16 venues in three countries.
We dive deep into the cutting-edge technologies that will reshape how the world's biggest sporting event unfolds:
We also examine the bigger questions this technology raises: Can fans trust AI to decide World Cup outcomes? Who owns the data generated? And how will this technology reshape industries beyond sports?

- A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) connects your brain directly to a computer or machine, picking up electrical signals and turning them into real actions. For people with paralysis, stroke, or conditions like ALS who have lost the ability to move or speak, this technology is a breakthrough. It bypasses the body entirely, meaning a person who can't move a single muscle can still type, communicate, and control devices just by thinking.

- In this episode of NYC Innovates, we go inside the cutting-edge world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), technology that creates a direct link between the human brain and the digital world. For nearly 400,000 Americans living with severe paralysis, BCIs represent a potential lifeline, restoring their ability to communicate, work, and engage with the world around them.
At the center of the story is Precision Neuroscience, a New York-based company developing what may be one of the most consequential pieces of medical technology ever created: a cortical interface thinner than a strand of human hair, embedded with over 1,000 micro-electrodes that sit on the surface of the brain without penetrating it. Precision positions itself on the pillars of safety, reversibility, and high bandwidth, and as of filming, had implanted more patients than the rest of the BCI industry combined.
