Why not? All thanks to this fantastic concept of Braille touch screens. We have seen this been implemented with the Braille phone. Imagine having this in the iPhone to completely bring them in level terms with the rest of us. Even they could use the benefits of the iPhone by simply feeling the responsive screen that would have dots forming on the responsive surface that would form the shapes of Braille characters. The idea of such a screen was...
Japan's Nagoya institute of technology has developed marine animals from material such as food trays and plastic bottles. It is an experiment to make kids aware of marine biology. Check out the robotic shark after the jump....
LEGO blocks/bricks have always taught us that we can reach out and touch the limits of our imagination by building anything we wish to. So this triggered some to come out with some interesting LEGO products like sunglasses, a miniscule Tokyo, a coffee table and many other cool ideas. However, we haven’t taken this fascination to a level where we would actually live in one of the tiny houses that we constructed as kids. But TV presenter, James May...
Well, you can state that the lovely rabbit is a squishy little rodent at the end of the day and stuff. However, it remains a fact that they are extremely soft and adorable; adorable enough to get all your troubles out of your weary mind after a day of work. This has been proved by a café in Japan that has decided to make sure that they get their patrons a step closer to ‘critter comfort’. They provide patrons...
It’s been a while coming, but finally the Logitech Squeezebox has got its touch version out in the open. The 4.3 inch touch-sensitive display is simply gorgeous, especially after seeing the simplified name display of the ancient Squeezebox 3 that I have been looking to replace for a while now. Other features that are packed into it include a SD card slot, light and temperatures sensors, a proximity sensor and HQ support at 96 KHz. Nice!...
MOTOCUBO A45 is all set to be Motorola’s next best thing to follow the green bandwagon. Well, if this was an exaggeration then it may be because the main niche in this one comes from the materials that it is built with. 25% of the MOTOCUBO A45 is made up of recycled plastic bottles. As far as the technical specs are concerned it has a 2 megapixel camera, EDGE and a QVGA display screen. It has its share of...
Sony and Zenrin have teamed up to make new navigation software for the PSP. This will be exclusive to Japan and it will be arriving on November 5th at Y8190. All the features of the Nav-U experience are there, including a powerful search and walking routes. The most interesting part is the come-back of PlaceEngine which you can use on this software. PlaceEngine is basically GPS through WiFi. There are a lot of people in Japan using this technology...
The universal vehicle named as Rodem operates for about 4 hours per charge. The most notable feature is the accelerator that is done by using a joystick. The highest speed is 2 miles per hour so I don’t think this will be giving the scooters a run for their money. Ok so it is electric, you must be wondering so why is it futuristic? Well it is the ergonomics where it makes the rider sit in an upward position,...
A new set of photos was released by LG show off the new and beautiful 15-inch screen and according to Reuters; this will be available for the consumers. LG will be showing the product at next week’s IFA trade show and come this November, Korea will be getting this beautiful piece. Bet you are all excited but don’t keep your hopes high as I don’t think this will be affordable. So all you consumers out there cross your fingers...
We got a poster that leaked the information about Canon’s upcoming 7D and it seems that the AF system has a new layout. It has a dual Digic IV processor setup which might be the guy behind the ability to shoot at 8 Frames per second. Some of the other notable features are 18MP APSC CMOS, full HD video, A.L.O, P.IC and picture style. And as for the price, I would quote in the range of $2000 or a...
Following the launch announcement, Nokia has uploaded a short video promoting the N900. Well I am not an Apple fanboy but Symbian stands no chance against the Mac OSX. [JDG]...
Whenever there’s something good done, there are bound to be repercussions, even if they are small. Here’s a perfect example. The Met Office in UK managed to get a hold of a fantastic super computer, capable of doing 1000 billion calculations in a second. It was made to help weather forecasters predict long time climate changes. Besides all the power it consumes (enough to light up a small town), the supercomputer also generates 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide in...
We have had our share of Nokia’s N900 speculation with pictures, videos and specs (that weren’t really accurate, thanks to the darned research) coming out a bit too much in advance. However, these were so widespread that the official release of the phone itself doesn’t make it big. However, we get an outstanding bunch of surprises with the spec sheet. The phone will be Linux-based and will run on a ARM Cortex-A8 processor. It is bound to support multi-tasking,...
There are extremities of all sorts on the road out there. However, most of them come in from modifications and other automobile trick shops. Though most of them make riding, driving or flying a better experience, we also have a share of those vehicles that make it ever so possible to turn into a total catastrophe. Here’s one by a certain Allen Millyard from the UK that has a powerful Viper V10 engine mounted on his motorbike! Fitting the...
