Liquipel is not a case, but a coating that promises to protect your smartphone from accidental exposure to water.
Liquipel is a hydrophobic nano-coating that is applied to your phone or tablet to make water less cohesive. The coating permeates the phone and bonds to it on a molecular level, both inside and out, to protect every feature of your device with a revolutionary waterproof shield that will last for years.
The NanoLight is a new LED lightbulb that not only looks like a beautiful abstract piece of art, but is also the world’s most energy efficient lightbulb.
Created by three University of Toronto graduates, the NanoLight uses just 12 watts of electricity to generate the same amount of light as a 100 watt incandescent bulb. It’s energy efficient design allows for very little energy lost due to heat, ensuring that you will never burn your hand when you touch the NanoLight.
Until now, prosthetic limbs failed to provide an important human feature: they lacked the sense of touch. Thanks to a team of Swiss scientists at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and a project called TIME, a prosthetic hand has been developed that is able to provide the feeling of touch.
To make this all work, electrodes are implanted directly into nerves that allow for both motor input and real sensory feedback from the artificial limb.
The shopping experience is about to get a lot more interactive. The folks at teamLab have created the TeamlabHanger, an interactive hanger that shows shoppers what clothes look like on a model as soon as the hanger is removed from a rack.
When a piece of clothing is picked up by a curious shopper, a signal is sent to a nearby monitor that displays a front and back preview or video of the selected item. When the hanger is placed back on the rack, the display is automatically switched off.
For those who don’t already know, Glass is basically a computer that is built into the frame of a pair of glasses. Essentially, it’s the device that will make augmented reality part of our daily lives.
The folks at WobbleWorks wanted to produce a way for people to draw exactly what they were thinking, including 3D objects. With that in mind, they took the basic design of the pen, since everyone knows how to use a pen, and designed the world’s first 3D printing pen called the 3Doodler.
As you draw, plastic comes out of the pen, is cooled by an integrated fan, and solidifies right in front of your eyes. The 3Doodler lets you draw on any surface and lift it up into the air to create your own 3D objects. The pen is compact, easy-to-use, requires no software and no computers.
The Cube 3D Printer promises to deliver an easy to use, plug-and-play 3D printer for your home. The printer was created by 3D Systems, a leading global provider of 3D content-to-print solutions.
At just 9.5 lbs and 10 x 10 x 13 inches, the Cube fits comfortably on any table or desktop. It features touchscreen controls, wifi connectivity, and the ability to print in both ABS and recyclable PLA plastics.
Intel, Plastic Logic, and Queen’s University are working together on the PaperTab, a flexible paper computer that looks like a sheet of paper but is actually a fully functional and interactive tablet.
The device is flexible and features a high-resolution 10.7″ plastic display made by Plastic Logic with touchscreen, and a second-generation Intel Core i5 processor. Users have ten interactive displays or “PaperTabs” that they can use on the tablet, one for each application being used. “Within five to ten years, most computers, from ultra-notebooks to tablets, will look and feel just like these sheets of printed color paper,” said Roel Vertegaal, director of the Human Media Lab at Queen’s.
If you’ve got a lot of gadgets–and who doesn’t these days?–you know that it can be difficult to keep track of all of their different chargers, not to mention hard to find outlet space to plug them in. One stylish former Kickstarter project aims to solve that problem while also beautifying your space.
The electree+ is billed as “part sculpture, part appliance” because it mixes form and function, offering a practical product–a multi-unit solar charger–with a beautiful form. The product was inspired by bonsai trees and nature’s fractal patterns, with 27 square silicon solar panels on each tree and a 14,000mAh internal battery that stores enough power to recharge an iPhone nine times or an iPad2 twice. Power is provided through two USB ports and a Qi wireless charging zone that works with most smart phones and can be adapted to work with iPhones.
Here we have a robotic lamp named Pinokio created by Shanshan Zhou, Adam Ben-Dror, Joss Doggett at the Victoria University of Wellington. The lamp interacts with its environment and people and was designed to explore the expressive and behavioural potentials of robotic computing.
“Customized computer code and electronic circuit design imbues Lamp with the ability to be aware of its environment, especially people, and to expresses a dynamic range of behaviour. As it negotiates its world, through the synthesis of the algorithm, electronic circuit and structural modifications; we the human audience can see that Pinokio shares many traits possessed by animals, generating a range of emotional sympathies.”
