Once again, another Sharper Image product has caught my attention with the Clock Radio iPod/iPhone dock.
Here’s an interesting toy I’d like to try out. The Air Hogs Zero Gravity Laser remote control vehicle. It is an RC vehicle that can go up a wall, a ceiling, and follow a laser pointer. Dang!
Someone has finally created a boot that can heat itself, electronically. It’s called the Columbia Bugathermo.
I once heard that one of the leading killers on the road is not drunk driving, but falling asleep at the wheel. I remember that I did that once, and I accidentally swerved off the road. Fortunately, no one, including myself, was hurt.
I suppose the SmartCap was prevented in order to prevent accidents like these. This baseball cap that you see in the picture is synced wirelessly with a mobile device such as a BlackBerry to monitor for fatigue.

Right now, it is being used for advertisements, trading cards, and even on bags of Doritos. It would appear that someone has figured out how to get the augmented reality off the food wrapper and get it on the food itself.
See these cookies in the picture here? They look like ordinary cookies with an L on them, right? Check out what they look like with a little camera, and a lot of augmented reality after the jump.
