Just so we are clear, this video that you see here is about recording smells, which I have reported on twice just this year. Considering that I do about three posts per weekday, that is saying something. Oh, you can read about Gameskunk and the other one I wrote about here and here. Just pick one or the other. I suppose that this Madeleine, works differently, as you can … [Read more...] about Madeleine machine can capture smells

How about a pair of headphone implants?
The video that you are seeing here is Rich Lee, and he just had magnets implanted in his ears. The purpose is to create headphones that are essentially surgically implanted. Yes, the magnets work as speakers, but they require a coil necklace with an attached amplifier that hangs around the neck. Controlling the volume is apparently done by moving the coil and amplifier … [Read more...] about How about a pair of headphone implants?
Sky Go uses bone conduction on subway windows for advertising
You can see the video that a company called Sky Go that wants to advertise on subway windows using bone conduction. If you haven't heard of bone conduction, it is a way of listening to sound outside of traditional headphones. It works by sending out high-frequency oscillations transmitted into your brain, and interprets them as sound. Have you ever leaned on a window of … [Read more...] about Sky Go uses bone conduction on subway windows for advertising
This is the LDS (Leia Display System)
I suppose that seeing Leia telling that Obi-Wan was "her only hope" was the beginning of an age where we wanted to see holograms. Why else would this new holographic system called the Leia Display System, even though it has the same acronym as the Latter-Day Saints. This LDS is some serious Star Wars technology with a laminar airflow system is "the most steady midair … [Read more...] about This is the LDS (Leia Display System)
This flashlight, which runs on body heat, was created by a teenager
If you watch the video above, you can see Ann Makosinski, who is only 15 years old and has created a revolutionary flashlight. It is a flashlight that is powered solely by the power of the human hand. Apparently, Ann realized that human body heat is essentially an untapped energy resource. I mean it took the machines in The Matrix at least until 2099 to figure that out. … [Read more...] about This flashlight, which runs on body heat, was created by a teenager
This Sensor Bracelet brings the one thing technology can’t give yet: Touch
I would like to think that technology is pretty good. First it allowed us to hear from places when we are miles away with the invention of radio. Then it allows it us to see far off places thanks to the invention of video. I believe that other three senses are about ready to be technologized. There is scent technology that needs to perfected, and I haven't seen any tech … [Read more...] about This Sensor Bracelet brings the one thing technology can’t give yet: Touch
Clip-Air combines the best of land and air travel
In transportation, one of the things that hinders travelers from going from Point A to Point B is the time it takes to load and unload transports. Think of all the time wasted with connecting flights, and constantly getting on and off buses and trains. Imagine if you could use Clip-Air, which combines the best of air and land travel. You can see in the image a flying … [Read more...] about Clip-Air combines the best of land and air travel
Hiroshi Ishiguro’s robots could begin a “trans human” age
I suppose a proper caption for this image would be "who is the robot here". The human is Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro, and he is the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University. He has created a robot lookalike of himself, and made a public appearance of it at the Global Futures 2045 International Congress. My Source reveals that … [Read more...] about Hiroshi Ishiguro’s robots could begin a “trans human” age
Control a Quadrocopter with your mind
I have been hearing about mind control for years. I'm not talking about some kind of hypnotism or Manchurian Candidate stuff, I am talking about these caps you can put on that allow for some kind of control by thought waves. In the case of this quadrocopter, a project at University of Minnesota led by Bin He allows a man with a skullcap take control of its movement. … [Read more...] about Control a Quadrocopter with your mind
WiSee turns your home into a place full of gesture recognition
I feel that we are headed into a direction where gesture recognition is becoming more actively used on places other than the Kinect. I think the future will be a lot of Minority Report kind of gesture recognition, but we won't need those funky gloves that Tom Cruise wore. A certain project at the University of Washington known as WiSee is able to make your entire home a … [Read more...] about WiSee turns your home into a place full of gesture recognition
ARIAG could start a new form of gaming
I like seeing anything that can change the way we do video games, and this Kickstarter project called ARAIG has the potential. The ARAIG is an acronym for As Real As It Gets, and it is a sort of weird suit of armor that gives you some haptic feedback in about 48 vibration points. So if you get shot in the shoulder in the game, you will feel it, in a shakeable form on your … [Read more...] about ARIAG could start a new form of gaming
Enter Morephone, the smartphone of the future!
I think it is interesting that most of us have cellular phones so we can be reached anywhere, but somehow, I miss most of my phone calls. Part of it is my fault, as I often mute my phone during an event and then forget to unmute it later. Imagine if your cellular phone gave you a more visual cue that it was ringing. I am not talking about something on the screen that … [Read more...] about Enter Morephone, the smartphone of the future!
Samsung working on mind-control tablet technology
Just to let you know, what you are seeing here is not available now. However, you didn't need me to tell you that. After all, if Samsung could develop some tech where a tablet that can interact with your brain, don't you think your next Tab would have it? Well, I suppose that if you want to wear a skull cap filled with wires, you could use this. However, you are going … [Read more...] about Samsung working on mind-control tablet technology
Combimouse puts a mouse and keyboard in both hands
What you are seeing here is the Combimouse, which is essentially a way of making the keyboard and mouse all into one thing. The Combimouse is one of those Indiegogo projects, which means it needs your funding to make it real. Now, what you are seeing in the photo is what the Combimouse looked like a few years ago. You can watch a video the Combimouse on the Indiegogo … [Read more...] about Combimouse puts a mouse and keyboard in both hands
This Rape Resistant Lingerie is quite interesting
Well, it is Monday, which means that I am looking for something to report on. I found this particular gadget which my source calls "Rape-resistant Lingerie". I would say that they had me at the name, but that doesn't sound good, does it? This lingerie is designed by three engineering students at Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University. This garment protects the neck and chest, … [Read more...] about This Rape Resistant Lingerie is quite interesting
