Para Para Revolution Is Rhythm With Your Fingers

Guitar Hero got lame pretty damn fast and Dance Dance Revolution was never straight. Para Para Revolution however, isn’t nearly as bad. Instead of dancing on foot pads or playing a fake guitar, the player wears gloves with accelerometers that detect their hand movements.

The gloves focus on both hands’ waving motions. The player has to follow the rhythm and wave his hand in a certain direction to score points accordingly.  This makes tuning your bodily movements to more  harmonious patterns rhythms more fun and less gay than any other rhythm game on the market.

Shake Your Ass Or Lose The Juice

It really stinks when you’ve run out of energy for your gadgets and can’t get to an outlet. With Orange’s Dance Charge, outlets are a thing of the past. It’s a portable phone charger powered through the kinetic movement of the wearer. Held within the arm strap is a battery for storing all the dance-generated energy.

So, to build up juice for powering your gadgets, all you need to do is shake your ass and show everyone your sweet dance moves. Though only a prototype, the Dance Charge is sure to come waltzing into the arms of every over-energized Dance Dance Revolution enthusiast in the world.

Remote Control Tortoise Beats The Hare

Filed under: DIYs, Hardware, Robots

Crabfu’s latest creation, the R/C tortoise, offers a uniquely humorous way of control that makes for an enjoyable show of stumbling limbs. Using a four channel radio system, the user is able to control each limb with each axis of the transmitter stick.

Basically, you can make this thing dance better than Patrick Swayze ever did. On top of that, you can scare the shit out of your pets. Unfortunately, this tortoise hates water. No practical use, just pure unadulterated fun.

Nightglasses, Corey Hart knew what he was talking about after all

Filed under: Design, Wearables

You didn’t realize the joke in “I Wear My Sunglasses At Night”, did you? Luckily for you, you now get to be the only person in the group of your friends to think that these glasses will make you as cool as Corey Hart. The glasses (not sunglasses) really show off their abilities when you step into the clubs with neon lights everywhere. The bars you see here aren’t the only designs offered; you can choose from different patterns, colors, and intensity. Please, don’t let anyone catch you wearing these darkglasses during the day. They won’t be helping you fight the sun at all, they don’t have any UV protection at all. Zip, nada. So how much will you pay? 30 euros say that you won’t be buying a pair of these anytime soon. –Nik Gomez

Sing your heart out with Decoy Roy

Filed under: Household, Misc. Gadgets

Do you love the song “Freebirdâ€? by Lynyrd Skynyrd when it’s live, like the CD version? Would you still like it if an animatronics bird were to sing it to you? Didn’t think so. Well Decoy Roy, a singing duck, will sing that or “(I Just want to) Flyâ€? by Sugar Ray for you with just the simple press of a red button. Just think of a Billy the Bass-like performance, except with a dancing duck instead of a flopping fish. Just think about the bragging you can do when you go to a friends house that has a Billy the Bass; “well I have a duck at home that sings a song that doesn’t get annoying the first time you play it.â€? Plus, who actually hangs fish up on their wall; ducks are much more common, so you won’t look like such a freak when you have a duck up on your wall. If you’re really lucky, your little friend Roy will even say some wisequacks (haha that’s funny) between great songs. If you must have the latest technology in singing and dancing animals, then you should fork out $29.95 for Decoy Roy to float your boat. — Nick Rice
