Oh yes, it is always good to see some device that can change the world as we know it. This one has so much potential to change everything as far as gaming and entertainment concerned, and I can't wait to try it. This is the castAR, a Head-Mounted display that can bring you 3-D augmented reality right on your eyes. All you need is two micro-projectors that can stay on the … [Read more...] about castAR Head-Mounted Display

iMotion haptic 3D controller could bring touch to gaming
What you are seeing looks like Tom Cruise in Minority Report, but this is a Kickstarter project known as the iMotion from Intellect Motion. That is, the things on his hands. On his eyes are the Oculus Rift, which we have reported on before. The iMotion has a velcro strap to keep it on the hand, which reminds me of the Wiimote and the Wiistrap. Like the Wiimote, it has a … [Read more...] about iMotion haptic 3D controller could bring touch to gaming
Occipital’s Structure Sensor gives your iPad 3D seeing power
As I mentioned the other day in my report of the Zeus, the 3D printer/scanner, it is clear that we are entering into an age of 3D printing. This particular Occipital Structure Sensor, also a Kickstarter project, is designed to bring the 3D world to the 2D iPad screen. The Structure Sensor is designed to clip right onto the iPad itself. From there, you can scan a room in … [Read more...] about Occipital’s Structure Sensor gives your iPad 3D seeing power
Zeus 3D Scanner and Printer
I think we all know that the age of 3-D printing is coming, but we all know that 3-D printing means nothing without some 3-D inspiration. I was thinking that we need some 3-D downloadable programs. That, or you could get yourself a 3D scanner. I don't really know if there is any companies that make 3D scanners, but there is a combination 3-D printer and scanner known as … [Read more...] about Zeus 3D Scanner and Printer
Add a Flash to your smartphone with iblazr
You know how the iPhone has been avoiding Flash all those years? This includes a decent one for the camera. I suppose that you could purchase a Manfrotto KLYP that we discussed a few weeks ago, or the iblazr. The iblazr is a simple flash with four specially-made LEDs. From what I can tell, it plugs right into the headphone jack. You will want to use the App to get the … [Read more...] about Add a Flash to your smartphone with iblazr
Haptix is set to change the way we interface with computers
Every once in a while, I see some sort of technology that has the potential to change just about everything. I really think that we have a weird way of interfacing with our tablets and smartphones via touchscreen, but most people interface with PCs and laptops with mice or that touchpad that I never use. The Haptix is a Kickstarter project created by Darren Lim and Reactiv … [Read more...] about Haptix is set to change the way we interface with computers
Keep yourself undisturbed with the Off Pocket
This device is very interesting as we live in an era where we just don't want ourselves to be tracked via WiFi, cellular, and GPS signals. Imagine if there was just a pouch that would allow you to put a phone in, and it would be immune to all those aforementioned signals. This is exactly the OFF Pocket's purpose, as it is made up of metalized fibers to block all those … [Read more...] about Keep yourself undisturbed with the Off Pocket
Rubbee makes an ordinary bike an electric one
I have never used an electric bike before, but I believe that they would be quite useful when you don't feel like pedaling anymore. This Rubbee (which I assume is pronounced like "ruby") allows the user to turn their ordinary bike into an electric one (just like the title says). The Rubbee is a Kickstarter project, and it is supposedly able to connect to the bicycle in a … [Read more...] about Rubbee makes an ordinary bike an electric one
eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
For some reason, I have been reviewing a lot of smartphone stands which involve sticking them there. I have no idea who makes this sticky stuff, but I have seen it in so many places. Recent examples include the Zyroshell Phone Cradle and the TYLT Capio with NFC. The eleMount is unique as it has stick parts on both ends. These elePads can stick to any flat surface, and … [Read more...] about eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
I always get excited when I see devices from science fiction become reality. This is probably why I see a need to report on any device that looks like it came from out of Minority Report. In the case of the GoCuff, it is a holder that fits on the sleeve designed for a smartphone. What science fiction book or film is this from? Why, my own, of course. All right, this is a … [Read more...] about GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
I have seen a lot of Kickstarter projects come and go, and I found it odd that this particular project, the Ziphius, made its $125,000 funding goals. So what is the Ziphius? It is a drone that you can control while it is in the water, and it has a camera on it, too. I have seen drones like the AR.Drone from parrot that are quadcopters, and they have a camera too. The … [Read more...] about Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
The Waka Waka Solar Charger plans to change the world
It isn't often that you see technology poised to essentially change the world. I have to admire the WakaWaka Solar Charger as the goal of its creators doesn't seem to be making money on useful technology, but helping out other countries. The WakaWaka Solar Charger isn't an idea that is new, because there are a lot of batteries for mobile devices that you can purchase on … [Read more...] about The Waka Waka Solar Charger plans to change the world
Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!
I have always wondered why we haven't become a holographic society, like what we have seen in speculative fiction films like Star Wars and the like. The Litholo Hologram Kit could be a start of a new era. The Litholo Hologram Kit enables a user to create full-color holograms in such a way that is not as expensive as most that you see. I'm pretty certain that the hologram … [Read more...] about Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!
Lernstift is a pen that can correct your writing
Okay, considering the proliferation of computers, smartphones, and tablets, does anyone even use pen and paper anymore. I don't need to sound like the lone writer here, but I have been known to do the first drafts of my writing with pen and paper because it is very, very relaxing. I generally don't worry about making errors at that point, but imagine if a pen could warn you … [Read more...] about Lernstift is a pen that can correct your writing
Paravelo Flying Bicycle: Is this Kickstarter Project for real?
Some of you might remember when we covered how a group of Czech designers known as Technodat had perfected a flying bike. This here is a Kickstarter project known as Paravelo, the world's first flying bicycle. Okay, I just can't seem to believe in this project. I suppose that the system is sound. Apparently, there is an electric motor to power a fan, and on a single … [Read more...] about Paravelo Flying Bicycle: Is this Kickstarter Project for real?
