This is a tiny connector kit that connects your PC to your car stereo. It comes with software which allows you to select and play music using the stereo’s buttons. Cheap too.

It costs a bit, but the reviews are all positive – the Axbo sleep phase alarm clock reads your body movements and wakes you up at the optimal time within 30 minutes of when you set the alarm to go off.

If you want to ‘feel’ electricity and magnetic fields, why not implant a magnet into your fingertips? The world will look different. Stay away from MRI scanners though!

These gloves are supposed to be for in extreme cold – and using some clever system they warm up as you blow into them acting like handwarmers with no batteries!
For $39,99 that’s a bit of a steal!

Of course, Gorgonz claims also to have created a t-shirt that makes the current t-shirts obsolete…

With the Head spa massager – look like you’re going to take over the world whilst alien invaders are burrowing into your brain

Acces who bought Palm OS have decided they will Garnet (Palm OS 5) and Cobalt (Palm OS 6 – which has never shipped on any device) and decided to revamp it all as the Access Linux Platform (ALP) which will look nothing like Linux but run Garnet apps as well as GTK apps. Expected on devices from 2007.

These suits are flexible but harden up on impact.

So, you think flowers are boring? Not enough colour? The evenness of the petals too little bling for you? Then print stuff on them!

Eleksen makes fabric keyboards – roll up ones with bluetooth for palms, covers for ipods with the controls on the outside and woven into jackets or clothing. The fabric is weather resistant, waterproof, etc – so no more screwing up your delicate machinery, operate it from remote.

If you have almost no windowspace, so you can’t use the other instant balcony and if you have a type T personality, then maybe this is the balcony for you.

Yes! I want a floating 200 pound throne for my huge office!

Attach some electrodes to your head, whisper in one language and the system will talk for you in another. Or at least, currently from Mandarin to English.
Hopefully they can make this system a bit smaller and less borg looking, but very very cool!

A robot to change your kitty litter automagically. It does turn, but 7 minutes after the cat has (hopefully) left it. What will the cat think of this? New toy or doom machine?

Engadget is running this great howto – attach a line to your buzzer and when you call it, your door opens! Because it’s not using X10 but ELK 930 it’s quick too… allthough do you really want everyone who has your number to be able to open your door?

Yup, stick it against the wall, paint over it and it’s gone! Does it degrade audio quality? Dunno…

You can plug it into your muscles and get it to move all five fingers with an opposible thumb

How to convert an LCD display into a 3D display using… cellophane!

A new technology to use a high resolution stereo camera, send it through a chip which splits the stream into 8 interpolated streams and then beam it through the HD TV so you don’t need glasses to view the 3D action

Climb stuff quickly! 1.5 ft per second using a harnass up a rope. For military and commercial uses…

The site is in German, but it’s very damn cool – I want this in my foyer!

Well, you could have the whole door open left and right… or you could do this:

The door is segmented into multiple strips and opens minimally according to the shape of the individual, animal or object that has to pass through

Good stuff!

The MIRT, or Mobile InfraRed Transmitter for Emergency Vehicles (Which is MIRToEV really, but oh well) is a traffic signal pre-emption transmitter. These have today been outlawed in the UK, making me wonder, will it work in the rest of mainland Europe? If so, I want one, and if so, what frequency does it broadcast on, as you must be able to make one for less than $ 399,.99!

Or maybe there’s just other manufacturers I can’t find right now…

Ah… From The Tech FAQ:

The transmitter is an infrared light which is flashed at the receiver. The transmitter inside the vehicle may transmit a low-priority signal (10 Hz) or a high-priority signal (14 Hz).

Well, I was going to do this thing on the fabulous Fingerworks TouchStream vs the new thing I found, but it’s turned into an obituary for Fingerworks – they must have priced themselves out of the market 🙁

Important note!

FingerWorks has ceased operations as a business.

Always wanted one of those, but can’t even find them on E-Bay, don’t know when the company bust (so maybe they haven’t sold the liquidation yet?)…

Anyway, the new bright (literally) thing, is the Optimus programmable keyboard: you can program the keys to show what you like, and they’ll release it with an open source API so you can add iconsets and functionalities and share them around… cool!

Cool – 3D touchless sensor senses movement in the x,y,z axis and also detects speed up to (now) 1 yard from the actual monitor, allowing the user to use the technology in stuff like games as well instead of only as a pointing device.

It looks like the device comes with a USB cable, a card for in the PC, a sensor and a driver CD.
