Uno Unicycle

April 30, 2008


Built by Ben J. Poss Gulak, it’s an electric vehicle that uses a similar sort of microgyro-motor system as the Segway, but with two gyros: one for forward and back, and one for turning. Its got just a power switch and everything else is done by leaning.
So why do we still need motorcycles?

April 28, 2008


Trees and plants have a kind of flexibility that is both disturbing and inspiring. Left to their own devices they can wrap around objects and create strange works of unintentional art.

My Beating Heart Pillow

April 25, 2008


“The My Beating Heart Pillow is a soft, huggable heart with a soothing heartbeat to help you relax, meditate, and take delicious naps. You can feel the heartbeat, which is not simply a recording, but a carefully designed rhythm which gradually changes and was modeled after the heartbeat in a meditative state. Our heartbeats naturally sync when close to others, and are comforted by the feeling, like when holding a pet or loved one.”

Good when you have no time to walk your dog too…

FPS Gaming Vest

April 22, 2008


Video game characters live in a three-dimensional world, but gamers have only been able to experience two dimensions… until now. The 3rd Space™ Vest from TN Games takes gameplay beyond sight and sound, creating spatial awareness of the world your characters inhabit. Unlike traditional force feedback devices that rumble or buzz, the 3rd Space™ Vest gives you precise impact where it happens, as it happens. Get pounded with body slams, crushed with G-forces, and blasted with bullet fire.
For the lonely boy at home who has never been inflicted pain by anybody from the outside world before…

Glo Pillow

April 21, 2008


The glo Pillow is an alternative to the traditional alarm clock. The pillow uses an LED fabric substrate below the surface to wake the user using light. This substrate also functions as a display, showing the time on the pillows surface using the grid of LEDs below.
40 minutes before the pre-set alarm time the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. This natural waking process helps to set the circadian rhythm or “body clock” and results in more healthy sleep/wake patterns.
I have one too… It glows true the curtain before 7am every morning… but I am still tired…
